4 out of 5 stars Good beginner stuff

A number of slabby variants from easy to trickier. Jump in the river when you are done or go raft/kayak the Rogue. Watch for poison oak

5 out of 5 stars This route is worth the drive

If you like "chainsaw psycho dork" at Rattlesnake, you will love this one! Jugs but steep, a few relatively powerful pulls, then it gets thinner just when you are pumped the most! Try to stay on the line straight up at that point but the "pyramid" is on route I guess. Cool back step, heel hook layback, cross-thru, hand switch, then power pull.

5 out of 5 stars Always a favorite

Glad to see so many enjoyed this route. Not sure why but it was always just a kick in the pants despite the crummy first 8 feet. The real story of the route name is a bit long to post here, but had to do with a strange grad student at UO in the mid 80s that everyone who lived in Carson Hall called "captain quaalude". "Don't mess with captain quaalude, he might be a chainsaw psycho dork" my friend Jim told me once.

3 out of 5 stars Chiseled

There were no chiseled holds when I did the first ascent in 97. Bill prepped it, I lead it. One of the first routes done up there.
