Description Suggest change

The east side Raven C is stacked with some of the best moderates on the mountain including El Curvo (10+) and If You Bolt it They Will Come (10). Expect somewhat less than generous bolt spacing and routes that seemingly go on forever. The mixed climb Epic Commander (10+) is certainly a contender for one of the best mixed 10s on the mountain. As of this writing, Hotshot (8+) is the only climb on MP on the west side.

Getting There Suggest change

Raven C is best approached from the east side. The east face (home to El Curvo (10+)) is about 1 minute down the hill from the Raven B/C chimney (home to Swing Set (11+), Raven Maniac (12-), etc.). Burrow through the chimney between Ravens C & D to access If You Bolt it They Will Come (10) and everything left of that classic line. Although Finger Lichen Good (5.8) and Little Birds (13-) are technically on the west "side" of Raven C, we have included them on the east side as they are much more easily approached from this side. Hotshot (8+) is currently the only line listed on MP on the west side. It is best approached by going the the east side chimney between Ravens B & C, tunneling to the west (the Orifice will be the obvious as one walks through) and finally sliding down the vegetated slope to the start of Hotshot (8+)
