Access Issue: CLOSURES: South and East Faces (NW & W Faces Remain Open)
Details
The South Face and access trail is closed from Feb. 1st through July 15th, depending on peregrine falcon nesting. Portland Area Climbers Coalition, Washington Climbers Coalition, and the Access Fund are coordinating on this issue. Disregarding this closure will harm their efforts to adjust it and their relationship with land managers.
The east face is closed to climbing year-round due to possible sensitive/endangered plant species.
The NW face and West face routes remain open.
See Closure section below for more details.
Description
Climb up a short step to a broken overlap being careful with the delicate rock overhang. Clip the first bolt under the overlap with a draw long enough to avoid rope drag. Power through the overlap to good holds and continue up the shallow corner past four more bolts. Delicate stemming and small edges brings you to a low angle finger crack finish. This is fine sustained Beacon climbing.
Location
Bladerunner is approached via the South Face trail. Just past and west of the slab route Cruisin, is a small amphitheater of rock located below Snag Ledge. You will spot the new bolts and overhanging flake start of Bladerunner easily from the trail.
Protection
5 bolts and gear to 1.5"
Offset & small nuts
Camalot Sizes 0.3-1.0
