Let me save you a wasted day:

Park at the iron bridge, follow the river to an old road. Follow the road up hill a bit, then pick up the trail to the base. Climb a chossy, dirty chimney thing, traverse left on big holds, sling a tree, and make a little move and climb a dirty, slabby crack to a big ledge. Traverse again, and clip the new(?) bolts, make a move of 5.9, then climb the really chossy, dirty crack to the top. Enjoy the view. Walk back down the old road, pick up your gear and wonder why you wasted your day.

Wes is spot on with this one. Definitely one of the worst routes ever. I wish I had been given this advice before wasting my day 12 or so years ago.

I liked it. The bottom half is very dirty and chossy, but I remember the top half as being pretty clean. I thought the top half made it worthwhile.

Different strokes for different folks. I think it's an awesome route.

Good route. The most confusing part is where to start it but if you figure that out, you go about 80 feet on mossy choss, but pretty easy climbing. Of course then you are rewarded with a really cool, exposed headwall. Also, the bolts in the middle were shiny and new in 2007.

i like the route. most of it is choss, the last pitch is money and would get done if it were on the ground at fortress or other trad crags.

what i like about it is its not a lowest common denominator clip up with 40 people, 16 dogs a jam box and 3 kids kinda place. you do it for what it is. embrace the choss and all the bad that go with it. its worth it in the end. you dont have many adventure routes up such cool looking features in the red.

dont listen to wes and the other rock snobs. wes doesnt like it cause he cant get tania to hang the rope on it and the base doesnt have room for 52TR's fan club posse or a pc to blog from up top.

enojy the choss and being alone.......

wow

Best post of the month.

Please pay close attention to RRO. There will be more room for me and my fan club posse at the real crags when all the gumbys flock to Nevermore.

And after you've spent the whole day on an absolute choss pile of a 180 foot route that would be 1 pitch and 1 star on a real cliff, I'll say I told you so...from my PC, in a blog.
