Description:
The first pitch is only about 60 feet up to a small ledge with a pine tree on it and a set of shuts. 2 pitch is a about 80 feet and is also bolted and has a set of shuts. 3rd pitch isn't really worth doing unless you just want to reach lunch ledge.It's more like a 4th class climb.Fun climb for beginers or somebody just starting to lead. It starts at the same point as Skip to my Lou and just right of Peek A Boo.

Good 1st lead
This route is a good 1st lead. Take a light rack (singles of BD's) Easy , (crux seams to be to the first bolt) easy to route find for an onsight, suggest you do the 3rd P to Lunch Ledge then rap down. Most all of the rock above Lunch Ledge is covered in lichen, lots and lots of lichen. Don't suggest any of the topouts to a new leader. Great views, bring your camra!

OK...
wanted to climb the north ridge but another
party beat us to it....we couldn't wait so decided
to climb this up to get on "my route". to lunch ledge
and another party in front...so climbed straight up off of the
belay at top of P3 through the roof/bulges to lightning ledge.
not what we wanted but it was climbing...fun route.

Excllent
My first multi pitch lead. I loved this route. The second pitch was absolutely incredible. The weather was perfect and the air was clear, and I could see for miles. The exposure is unbelievable as you go around the arete. This is definately a must do when visiting the Gorge. Just because the 3rd pitch isnt that tough, it's still a fun addition to the climb. Without it, the climb seems to just kinda end abruptly. 2 ropes will let you rap down from the top of the 3rd pitch, or you could just scurry off lunch ledge.
