I think the "real" name of this sport route is Oyster. Gravy Train is actually a trad line just to the left of this sport route. Mislabeled in the DCA.

Fixed. Jeff is right, Gravy Train is the trad line to the left. This whole section of Sand Rock has been the subject of a lot of confusion and different names for the same routes; it's not easy to sort it all out. Hopefully, we've got it right now.

this route goes on gear too. If you do it trad, its called "The Real Oyster."
