Description:
From the gully, scramble down & right until you get to the very end of a tree-covered ledge extending out on to the slab. This start avoids the pitches below that are not worthwhile. 4 pitches, total of 360'. Need mostly nuts and cams.

First Multipitch
This was my first multipitch climb. Amazingly perfect and easy climb with ample protection and perfect ledges to belay from. The third pitch is money fo sho.

Midnight Ascent
First time climbing in the gorge and first time night climbing. Still quite a bit of exposure even at midnight, can't imagine the climb in the daylight. The hike in and out was definately worth the expereince!!

Midnight Train
Excellent first time on the Prow. 5 of us decided to hike out and simul-climb it in 3 pitches. Took 2 ropes and tied in half-ways. Great climb must go back for a daytime redpoint. Sweet lightening across the gorge came in - booked it back to camp :)
