Larison Rock Rock Climbing

Above Oakridge, on the southwest face of Larison Rock, there is room for around 5 routes on a 70ft wall. There is some evidence of past engineering on top, with steps, re-bar, etc indicating that there may have been a fire lookout at one time.

The rock is ryodacitic welded tuff, with pockets, wierd pillowy slopers, and ample underclings. Not too sharp, good quality, but you may battle some moss here.

Steep enough to stay dry in the rain, at least on part of the wall.

PLEASE, comment if you've developed here.  There is a mixed bolts and gear route that I'd like to fully bolt, with permission of course. I respect all (responsible) styles of climbing and development, but it's my opinion that this wall is better suited to full on sport climbing than trad climbing above cams placed in pockets or behind flakes. Not sure if this route has been sent or not, please contact or comment if you have info. Thanks!
