Does anyone have beta on Crown Point routes?  Climbing from the base of it to the Vista House looks promising.  Are there any topos of it or other route information.  Any info would be super helpful.

There are a few routes mentioned in the NW Oregon Rock book

I recommend waiting for a solid freeze. Good ice flow there!

"friable" and "vegetated" are how NWOR describes the 3-4 listed.

Yes, the rock can be very loose and vegetated but I wouldn't say its friable, as in soft and poorly cemented.  Crown Point entablature basalt is hard.  Its loose because of the jointing and fracturing.

No disagreement with that statement.
