corvallisclimb Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 Climb: Rooster Rock (Menagerie Wilderness)-Regular North Face w/ 5.6 variation Date of Climb: 7/9/2004 Trip Report: I took 2 of my female friends up rooster rock today, my first time as well. We slogged up the 2000ft in 2 miles approach trail, wich definatly keeps the masses away. Didnt quite know what to expect so I carried my whole rack wich was completly unessesary. We only had one rope with three people so I led up to where there where two old bolts from when there was a fire tower, belayed the girls up to there. Then led the last 60ft to the summit, there was a long run out at the end that was acctually pretty fun cuz the climbing was easy. Brought the girls up one at a time, it was awsome seeing there expressions when they peered over the rock to see the veiw, it was definatly a first for them. I lowerd em down to the middle anchors then lowerd my self to there, we all rapped on our own from there and called it a day. I was totaly stoaked with the trip, at first I was a little nervous taking the girls out, but everything went perfectly. I can't wait to get out there and do some of the other climbs there, that wilderness is just awsome. Gear Notes: 3 draws, #4 HB flex cam, #5 & #8 power cam Quote

texplorer Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 That 5.8 on the chicken has got to be one of my favorite climbs of the grade ever. Quote
Dru Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 if you got the right person to lead it you could have a chicken on the 5.8 on the chicken and it'd be self-referential! Quote
