Rockfax Description
One of Portland's very best routes, that ascends the white headwall via some exquisite moves. Start just to the right of a low corner next to a large boulder embedded in the ground. Climb the lower wall and then make a rising traverse left to a thin crack and tiny corner. Climb the thin crack and finish up the right-hand bolt-line. © Rockfax
