Safe Rap Descent for Single 60M Rope.
ID 106154628 · · Copyright Violation?
Tributary after bridge, path continues up this way and becomes more obvious. Look for cairns.
This is what the route Lover's Leap looks like from the bottom. You want to head towards the two field goal looking rocks at the top.

Basically an overview of the standard routes that are usually climbed & the rap descent routes available. <br> <br> Just use caution when considering rapping the face - a single 60m will not work, and there is a possibility of rapping on a lead climber. A single 70m might work from the cave down; but I have not tried it.<br> <br> However, a single 60m works great to the gully going West from the top-out (good bolts are now next to the small tree). Not to mention, it helps keep the flow moving on a busy weekend day.<br> <br> Some of the other routes are not shown (like the original CMC 5.6 line -- this pic vantage didn't give a good view of it).

Bolts at bottom of cedar tree.
The creek bridge as of 5/20/19.
Bridge across stream complete with caisson on the other side. The bridge is attached to the caisson with rebar drilled through. Nice work, whoever did this!

New 1/2 Metolius bolts and hangers at bottom of cedar tree. Serves as the last anchor on Lover's Leap route, and a short scramble toward the cross from the Original Route.
