Description Suggest change

No really, some of the best steep bolted rock in the Portland metro, similar to Wild Things at Madrone or Critical Mass at Broughton. The original line stays left of the arete, making crux moves to reach the left side anchor (11c). If you step right and finish on the right side anchors for Rise Up, take 11b. Either way it's an intoxicating flurry of steep positive jugs. 

In keeping with the memorial theme of this wall, this route was put up with Jerry Dellorusso in mind. You were the first climber I ever met, I remember seeing your gear in the closet at college and you talking about this place called the Gunks and driving 95 to get there, and I didn't even know what climbing was back then. I didn't climb until later and we never climbed together, but in your final year you'd started climbing again and we were making plans to finally rope up. You left this place too soon but you left your mark on me and many. Love and miss you, I'm so glad I got to know you.

Start up Chaitanyna, then step out right into the lichen patch at the 30-35 foot mark (.75 cam to protect the moves) to reach the first of 6 bolts leading up the left side of an arete and to a bolted anchor.
