[Hide Comment] why is everything PG-13 here? Dec 10, 2014

[Hide Comment] I did not establish these routes but just climbed all of them today. They are safely bolted with bolts protecting every crux move. Bolts average every 6-8 ft. That been said most of these routes are on low angle slab so a fall above any bolt would not be fun and could potentially result in a sprained/broken ankle if you biffed a clip and fell. But this place is no more dangerous than any other slab climbs at the grades. PG-13 ratings are unwarranted in my opinion. Dec 12, 2015

[Hide Comment] Agreed, nothing too spicy here. Well-bolted, fun climbs on excellent rock!

We also climbed a route which doesn't seem to be on the topo or on here--it's the rightmost route on The Toe, to the right of "Any Portland In A Storm". 7 (or so) bolts to a separate bolted anchor/rap chains. Anyone know the details of this route? Apr 10, 2017

[Hide Comment] Beta: The routes are bolted in similar style as the route on the main wall and very well protected sport climbs--not PG-13. There's an additional slab route that's not here on the far right which is 5.10, delicate and decently sustained to the anchors, with rap rings. Where most routes are delicate and slabby, the bolts protect the insecure moves and I never felt worried that a fall would result in any injury. Dec 12, 2017

[Hide Comment] This approach is not significantly easier, shorter, or really very different in style/terrain, than the approach to the main wall. Great in the winter, 72 degrees, sunny day, light breeze, was totally enjoyable.

Also, the PG-13 ratings are warranted, in places. Dec 9, 2018

[Hide Comment] Gotta take exception here Beef Ranger. Next time you are up there take a look from where the Toe trail branches. When contoured over to the Main Wall trail you will see that you are 500-600 ft below the Main Wall or about even with the start of the switchbacks. But then I am as old as the granite so my half century older legs may be more sensitive to the issue Dec 9, 2018

[Hide Comment] Does anyone know what’s the reason behind the bolts spray painted pink on the left side of the toe? Didn’t look like any rhyme or reason, just a few randomly painted pink. Looks like hell Feb 21, 2021

[Hide Comment] I agree completely Tanner but although not much rhyme there is plenty of reason. This season has had a flurry of new development at the Toe, some of it understandable and some of it out of line by many general area standards. In the specific case of the the route in question it meanders around looking for some place to go and crosses over Cactus Kiss twice. On a number of occasions I have observed climbers starting one route and finishing another and not understanding that they have. The first bolt and bolts before and after the crossover of Cactus Kiss were painted to designate a different route. The pink color was chosen to get the attention of the route setters, and having done that it will soon be changed to something more compatible with the Granite of the Toe. The route additions by the same folks are continuing and as late as yesterday a new route had been squeezed between Zika and Shiver that seems to have the same probability of crossing existing routes while searching for disparate sections of non continuous rock to bolt. I understand that many climbers new to the Toe are using Mountain Project as their only source of information and finding it does not match up closely to what they are seeing. Feeling responsible for most of the information on this venue I will spend the next few weeks surveying the Toe for changes and additions and do my best to pass those on to those who may want them Feb 21, 2021

[Hide Comment] anyone know the grade of Green Fountain? Jan 26, 2022

[Hide Comment] anyone familiar with the routes on the detached tower to climbers left of Gum Drop formation? looks fun.

while I'm at it, also the arete to climbers far left of last pitch of COVID? looks like two pitches. Mar 4, 2022

[Hide Comment] I haven't been to the Wedge, but the approach to the Toe was really not too bad. Took us 45 minutes from parking to crag. We were surprised at how well maintained the switchbacks were, and on an overcast day like last Saturday it was really enjoyable.

We did encounter a rattlesnake guarding the ledge below Call Her Daddy and decided to save that climb for another day. Stay safe out there! Apr 5, 2022

[Hide Comment] Feb 11, 2023. Our friend had an accident on Swine Flu and passed away while being flown to the hospital. Please be advised there is blood at the base of the climb.

Gear was also left on the wall. While it won't bring him back, it would be a minor win to get it back to his family. Please feel free to contact me if you manage to grab the gear.

[Hide Comment] This is the a great climbing spot for kids! I hiked up with our first, third, and seventh grade kids and they loved it! The hike was short enough that we were able to carry the 2 and 3 year old kids on our back. Such a great top-rope spot! Get out there! Feb 21, 2024
