So I was scrambling around Rocky Butte because it's basically my backyard and I saw what looked like one of the most difficult single pitches I have ever seen bolted, but I am wondering if the holds are chopped out. It's next to the water drainage that comes down next to the guard rail below the fence, I believe that wall is called "Mean Streets." I can't find my Portland Rock Guide at the moment so that's part of my predicament. This route is overhanging the whole way with seemingly no foot holds except maybe a heel hook on the far off arete to the right. It's pretty blank except for some pockets that look like they are almost too perfectly placed, I mean you can just about see the moves from the ground. It finishes with two monos to a relative jug just below the anchors. I was wondering if anyone knew what was up with this route, I would just like to see someone climb it, it looks crazy.

just looked at my book - sounds like "Packin' Heat", .13A. Just a little to the left of the water drainage, 5-6 bolts angling kind of to the left as it goes up, prominent arete.

I don't know anything about the history of the route, but the FA is listed in '93. The guy who did the FA is still somewhat local & still climbs, so you could ask him.

assuming he can find out the dude's name, phone #, email, eh? :)
