Ramona Falls wall beta?

[Kevin_Matlock]

Suppose this post could go in "rock climbing" or "oregon", but oh well....

 

Has anyone climbed at the 1/4 mile long crag on the longer leg of the Ramona Falls loop? Some of the rock looks shitty but other sections look like it would go (if you can handle the 2 mile trail approach).

 

Anyone know if this area has a name other than " the 1/4 mile long crag on the longer leg of the Ramona Falls loop "?

Beta anybody?

I saw a guy selling a topo to Ramona Falls out of his van at the crag in Renton

I have wondered the same thing, and i would be willing to go check it out if you needed a partner who didn't mind the 2 mile approach.

I've gone back and forth on this. Part of me wants to schlep some gear there and see what lines might exist, and part of me asks the pragmatic question "since this is a super popular trail, and if the rock was good, why isn't this place packed with climbers?".

 

I'd be curious to know the answer.

I'm just guessing, but this has GOT to be due to the fact that many sportOs don't like more than, say, a 10 minute "approach" to the crag of their choice. I mean, some of the hardest pullers seem to be the laziest people!

 

I guess I fall into the other category of "dumb enough to hike for miles with heavy gear just to pick off a 5.2".

Luckily for me I suck at technical climbing so I don't realize what I'm missing.

I remember looking up from the base of the wall and seeing a plethora of enormous, deadly, kitchen table-sized guillotines that reminded me of the saying, "geological time is now."

 

...but have at it!

I believe there are some routes here described in the Dodge book. I know I have read it somewhere but do not have the information handy.
