Guillotine

Bolts to Nowhere

Al Tesoro

Upriver Justice

Kinnikinnick

Rainy Day Woman

Shiny Yellow Crane

The first half of Guillotine stops at the top of the corner system and stays (mostly) dry even in heavy rain.

Shares initial bolts with Shiny Yellow Crane to gain the major ledge 20 feet up the wall.

Oso or "Indian Plum" is a native NW plant. In Spanish Oso means bear. The route has a distinct crux halfway, which may be easier for taller people.

This line was originally left incomplete by a traveling Russian climber. The boulder problem from the upper ledge has caught the attention on many passing climbers over the last 20 years. The project has recently been retro bolted and climbed, clocking in at 5.13a. "Al Tesoro" is spanish for "to the treasure"

This is an alternative start to "Guillotine" taking a more direct path to the top crux. Scramble 20' up the loose gully before stepping onto the route with an undercling and right into some steep juggy climbing. Clip a few bolts, using a series of underclings and side pulls to join Guillotine right before the crux. Tricky moves at the very end make for an exciting redpoint crux.

Kinnikinnick or "bear berry" is a native NW plant. It was used by Native Americans as a smoking herb, with medicinal and spiritual qualities.

Requires a 70M rope to top rope/lower off (or two ropes)
