moderate sport near Portland? Ozone?

[Chris C]

I'll be in Portland for a short visit soon, and am hoping to get out for a quick day of climbing; I'm looking for some not-too-hard climbing on bolted routes - say 5.8-5.10a.

 

Is Ozone a good bet? (I know there's a guidebook - I'll pick one up when I get to town...) Smith is too much driving. Somewhere better?

 

Thanks.

sounds like ozone is just for you!

ozone is a good bet for sport in that range. high concentration of all bolted routes, plus mixed and trad routes as well. only a couple 5.8 or under bolted routes, but if you can lead 10a on bolts there's more to do than most climbers would lead in a day.

 

guidebooks are limited edition, and might be available at climbmax in NE portland - but call to confirm this. (sometimes at portland rock gym also, but right now i believe they are sold out)

 

however, go here and jon bell can get you one if climbmax is out:

Thanks much, all - can hardly wait.

The climb in the picture is called Masterpiece Theatre. It’s a cool climb and you should get on it if you climb the grade.

though maybe the first bolt is lacking a hanger at the moment?

I believe Masterpiece to not be missing any hangers……cheers.

Ivan, it turns out to be House Of Pain that was the route in question on that "Popped Bolt" thread here in the RC forum.
