Description
Against the Grain is an awesome, bouldery, little rig on great rock. Some tricky movement for the first three bolts leads to a good clipping hold and then the crux - some dynamic moves on perfect crimps up the steepest part of the wall.
The Kimballs installed an anchor on top of this unique feature in the mid 2000s (?). The uphill side of Woodstone is short, but the rock is awesome and steep! Now, with four great routes on this chunk of stone it is certainly worth the hike.
Also, if you wandered all of the way over here for this thing, you cannot leave until you try 'Purple Heart,' 12+, on the steep south side of that incredible pillar just down from Woodstone. Find it listed under 'Slot Rock' on Mountain Project.
