Description Suggest change

Please do not climb as of August 23, 2023. Per the Yosemite Climbing Rangers, "A new crack system appeared overnight and there is concern that a major rockfall could happen. The park Geologist will be assessing the scene and we will keep you updated on any further changes." See here for closure.

This climb is down and left of the start of "Royal Arches Route", and just right of the creek coming from Royal Arches Cascade.

Climb a flake and thin crack to a two bolt anchor.

Location Suggest change

From the Ahwahnee parking lot, follow the horse trail toward Washington's Column. Take a left just past the first stream and follow a climber's trail up toward the waterfall. Follow the base of the cliff to the right to find the start of the climb.

Walk off the top to the left.

Protection Suggest change

Thin. Bring a standard rack. Include up to a #4 Camalot for the bottom flake.
