Access is always an issue here. MORE INFO >>>
Please do not litter and observe all regulations. We had to fight to regain access at one time, and we don't want to lose the privilege again. Local ethics and refuge regulations are that no bolting is permitted unless expressly authorized by the park. Leave the hammer and nails at home, no fixed gear please. Everything will go clean.

Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description Small questionable placements protect the lower moves that traverse up to the ramp. Up the ramp and belay at the tree. This route is named so, due to the fact that one of the first ascentionists yanked off a hold down low and fell into the river. He was fine and the route was named-(info courtesy of Jordan). The 2nd pitch is maybe 5.5 up to some chains to rap.
Location Climbs the obvious ramp above the southmost pool.
Protection Questionable down low and great up top.
Belaying under Ker Plunk.

| Except for the first time I climbed this, I don't bother with pro until I get to the move below the ramp (maybe 15 feet left of the start). Good nut there. But there is a flake you can thread earlier and some poor nuts. Tricams work great up on the ramp. Pleasing little climb. The second can fall in the water if they fall early. Hard to keep end of the rope out of the water on the single rope rap. I dropped a cam in the water last time, fear not, we found it and cooled off on a hot day. |
