A view down Shortoff with climbers on Straight and Narrow.

Seasonal bird closure area topo. This is a good cooler weather area. Also, these routes are longer than they appear in this pic and are easily accessed from top via a 200' rap from a pine with slings. The rap in goes directly over "Learning To Fly".

Mr Brown, all smiles, following the last pitch of his line, "Tall Order".

Before/after the 1916 flood.

The start of the decent trail follows the arrow. If you are facing the spring , the trail is ~10ft to your right and behind you.
