CLOSED: Forestry Closure Update - FULL WEST SIDE CLOSURE begins 12/11.
The west side of the park will be completely closed for forest health mitigation until further notice (~mid-2024, weather-dependent). The west trailhead parking lot will remain open for access to the south. Trails impacted by closure: Mountain Muhly Trail, Bearberry Trail, Homestead Trail, Silver Fox Trail, Ponderosa Trail, and the majority of Sisters Trail. 2023 ALD Forestry - a map of the Second Segment Closure (PDF) can be found through the link above.
The eastern side of the park and trailhead have reopened following completed forestry work in that area.
Description
Climb the blunt arete on the western most side of the south end of Gilligan's Island.
Start with you left hand in a good jug and you right on a small sloping crimp that has a crystal for your little finger. Toss up with your right to a bad sloper then get a heel hook up and right. Now you began the desperate journey to the top slapping and crimping small pebbles to higher but easier ground.
This is a great line!! It is a must do in the area!!
Location
It is located on the south end of Gilligan's Island. When the trail from the parking lot splits, go left or west passing the "20 ft. Wave" block and the "
Ship's Prow" boulder. Just west, about 20 yards, past the "
Ship's Prow" boulder you can see this blunt arete just barely covered by high tree limbs. You can see it from the trail, and it is hard to miss.
Protection
Pads and spotters.

Is the start hold description for this problem reversed? That is, should it be start with left hand in jug and right hand on a sloping crimp?
What I had in mind, but possibly starting a move in, or maybe I'm doing the problem entirely wrong. Fun this way regardless.
