Onsight ascent by:
Nothing but Fun: Well, after the approach anyway.
I had wanted to do this for a long time. The approach is a bit longer and a little tricky: We underestimated the approach time and had to turnaround before the summit the first time I tried it. Once on the rock it is blocky beautiful rock and scenery. The Seattle Mountaineers are often there teaching classes. Belay points are set up more frequently than needed. You can rap out from bottom of the technical route straight down 60 meters but wear a helmet, there is a small amount of loose rock there.

Good practice rock for beginners
Instructed beginning climbers on this route with top rope.
Fun easy climb for people starting out. The route has at a variation that makes it slightly more difficult. I probably lead it w/o pro to set up the anchors.

Foggy day
Fog hindered navigation, but we enjoyed it nevertheless. We rappelled down the steep loose gully from the base of the rock climb. Wear a helmet and have a 60m (30m doubled) rope as the next anchor is exactly 30m below the top anchor. You are back to the talus slope with one more 30m rap. Don't underestimate the approach/exit. It is more arduous than you might expect. A very nice alpine climb in late spring and summer. Avalanche hazard is high in winter. I used very little pro and it is often done solo).

Relax, it is a practice route.
It is what it is. It is short and if you are a hot shot I'm sure it will not interest you. For some of us mortals it is a good place to warm up or show a beginner a few things.

Practice route
A fun, but short practice route with bolts and chains at the top. I thought it would be easy to set up a top rope. Walk around to the left through some brush to a wooded summit.

Duplicated elsewhere
This route is also listed elsewere, perhaps under Exit 38 in general but belongs here in "Far Side". I did my report, accidentally, on the other listing.

Fun
For a 5.6 it made me think and look some, but there are lots of holds and a fun easy warm up.

A fine 5.7 route
I wasn't sure which side of the major cubical stone in the middle of the route to take. I went left to some bolts, but the Book (Whitelaw) shows going up the right (more less straight up the dihedral actually) side of this block. Either would probably work.
Considered the best 5.7 area at Exit 38 by some peope.

Second ascent by:
Difficult standing at chains
Nice route with a couple of challenging moves. At the chains it is difficult to stand with any comfort. The chains are above a bulge and the only obvious stance is to the climbers left. Maybe you should bring a long runner and make a "hand rail" between the bolts and the tree. Maybe.

Good practice
On a fine day it doesn't get better. Probably low in grade, or we missed something.
