Access Issue: Seasonal Peregrine Closure
Details
The park closes on February 1st and remains closed until July 15th to protect nesting peregrine falcons. Their annual nesting spot is on the Shining Wall, though they can be heard year-round. Please respect the closure and DO NOT CLIMB AT MADRONE WALL BETWEEN FEB 1st AND JULY 15th. Updates to the status of the park will posted on Clackamas County Park's website - clackamas.us/parks/madronew… - and on the Madrone Wall Preservation Committee facebook page - facebook.com/madronewall/.
Description
Likely the best sport route at the crag, and one of the best of the grade in the greater Portland area. Start on vertical rock with incuts up to a high first bolt and a sudden steepening. Big jugs through a massive overhang set you up for a sudden, dynamic, technical crux just below the lip. Keep it together as you pull through the overhang and onto the face, where it joins Tangerine Dream. Slight runout through easier climbing to the anchors.
Full name is "Where the Wild Things Roam" but that's just too long for casual conversation.
