Description
The Ruin was given it's name for the evidence of an ancient climbing civilization that was discovered here. This cliff has certainly been climbed on. A few sings were left behind. A couple of bolt studs, a stuck nut, broken holds etc. There are many question marks as to exactly what was climbed and in what style but I would love answers to these questions so please post up or message me with names, of climbs or climbers, dates, etc. I love climbing history but I don't have a lot to go on yet.
Modern civilization has moved in with a nice collection of bolted routes from 5.7 to 5.11+/12- as well as unearthed a couple of trad climbs. Routes here range in style quite a bit from face climbing, to grooves, corners, slabs and more so there is bound to be something here for you.
Getting There
If you are walking in along the stream trail that comes from the main Gate, after just under 10 minutes of strolling you will get to a notable crooked tree. Take a left and head toward the hillside. There are a some cairns and the majority of the way you will see yellow flagging on trees. This leads you up what we call Main Cliff Gully. At the base of the gully proper, Winter wall will be seen down to the right. Continue up the gully past Autumn Wall through some short switchbacks. As the trail touches the left side of the gully, exit the gully to the left through an obvious opening. Walk along a little trail for half a minute and you will see the cliff on your right. As of this writing the only modern routes are at the left end of the cliff but that will change as there is plenty of potential.
