On about Saturday, Aug. 27th, 2016, a massive rock fall event occurred in the central part of the crag. Although some climbers have since been there without incident, it may be wise to pick another location while conditions stabilize.
Description
Interesting route with an exposed alpine trad route feel, even though it is bolted. First third of the climb is frictiony through a dihedral section, then flattens out a bit to the crux. Cruxy finish to the chains over a relatively blank vertical face with a few interesting pocket holds. Feels solidly within the 5.8 grade, unlike many of the over-graded routes at North Bend.
**Admin's note: I truncated the route name due to some confusion and pointless debate about the full name.
