Access Issue: Extremely Sensitive Access - Please Read
Details
The majority of Ozone is likely owned by Washington Department of Transportation. Climbing is not officially condoned or acknowledged, though they are aware that it's happening. Every climber here must adhere to the following guidelines if we want to maintain long-term access:
1.) DON'T GET HURT! Rescues are the biggest liability and headache. Make conservative climbing choices and be crystal-clear about commands to your partner.
2.) Park legally! Your vehicle must be within the white line and perpendicular to the road. No parking parallel to the road; this is to save space as well as make it easier when leaving. No parking along the guard rail or anywhere except the two pullouts.
3.) Pack everything out! Wrappers, poop, banana peels, all of it. If your thing falls down the slope, retrieve it.
4.) Dogs must be on good behavior. Better yet, leave them at home. If they're digging or chasing wildlife or barking, put them back in the car.
5.) Leave your music player at home and enjoy your intoxicants somewhere else.
It is absolutely ESSENTIAL that climbers keep themselves off the radar here or we risk access to one of the region's most popular crags.
Access Issue: Private Property
Details
Sport School Wall and Stratosphere are on private property. Climb at your own risk; access has not been formally granted. Contact Portland Area Climbers Coalition with any questions or concerns you might have.
Description
Ozone's 5.5 testpiece :) A good route to learn leading, setting anchors, etc. Otherwise unremarkable. 3 bolts to an anchor with rap rings. Not climbed very often so it may be mossy. Don't ask where the name comes from.
Location
About 30 feet to the left of "Playing Hooky" and "1st Grade Problems" there are two bolted sport routes. This is the one on the left. The one on the right is about 5.7 or 5.8.
