Spyin' 'n Flyin'

This climb begins down by the river, requiring one to rap in. If the second pitch is less than secure, it may be wise to leave a fixed rope, or perhaps not even do the first two pitchs... Use your best judgement.

p5 - WI4+, 20m

You can walk off after p5 on skiers left of the pitch. P3 and 4 need to be rappelled from trees.

From the Cabin Creek lot cross the river towards High on Boulder. When you hit the south fork trail turn right to head south deeper upper river. The trail will eventually head uphill and you'll see a prominent box canyon on your right. The route bisects the left (southeast) wall of the box canyon, and if you look carefully you should be able to see the walls of the slot that hosts the route. Both the box canyon and the route are clearly visible on a topo, especially with slope shading. The route is about 2.5 miles from the river crossing or 3.5 miles from the cabin creek lot. Budget around 2 hours for the approach.

The trail intersects the route between pitches 2 and 3. Rappel in to the bottom of the route down a narrowing slot that places you on the shore of the river inside the box canyon. Climb back out, across the trail, and up an addition 3 pitches.

The tube on the final pitch should not be missed. 60m half-ropes are the minimum I would suggest. V-thread or sling vegetation and rap the route.

The trail crosses the route at 44.0771 N, -109.6461 W.
