Thank you Jon! Proceed. |

Hopefully, unlike my last attempt here, this one isn't a repeat. Here goes: Grimm is the story behind this route. Over a dozen pitches and developed over several years, with periodic colorful updates on their progress posted online. Update: You got it Tyler. https://www.mountainproject.com/route/113377948/rapunzels-back-in-rehab |

This area test piece packs insecure climbing with major consequence. While talking about a cop show, a member of the FA party mentioned that he thought the large cylinders of fire coming from the police guns at night was Hollywood magic. To his surprise, his partner exclaimed “Hollywood, hell!”, pulled out a large caliber revolver and fired it in the general direction of this route, giving it it’s name. |

Great story about a VERY obscure route, Tyler . OK, to keep the ball rolling: Shot in the Dark, 3 O Clock Rock. |

This burly then delicate multi pitch sport route is on the West Face of a large rock in E. Washington. 1st pitch crux requires Steely nerves as you under cling a large flake. The last part of its namesake comes from a strong German climber who famously said at the route crux (strong accent), “Zair are no small holds, only zmall minds”. Additional inspiration came from wildlife howls at night. |

Iron Wolf? |

You got it Cigdem. |

I was climbing near this route in the main area when Ueli Steck showed up. Before someone told me who it was, I recall thinking cluelessly, "that guy must be Euro with those colorful pants"... He ended up climbing in the less crowded, less visible area to our right. Most who come to this crag get on this easier route at least once. Some get bored by its repetition but others like me can not get enough of the #2-3s jamming smiles. Finish up with a .75-1 at the end. Feel free to go right away if you know it. |
