Description:
A great sport route that ascends an overhanging face. The lower part is tarnished a bit by some loose rock but the upper part is classic. Located on the west facing side of the Dominator. Stays dry in the winter.Descent Options:

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.

A Rattlesnake Classic
Sweet route including "Phil's crouch" and a 5th bolt knee clip. A little bit of everything combined to make a definite must-do at rattlesnake.

Steep
Steep but holds are there. TR'ed this a bunch while living in southern Oregon, had to return after moving away before RP came.
