About Rocky Butte:
| Open 24/7, this secluded crag hosts some varied routes of basalt. North facing, it remains cool in summer but can be damp and buggy. The ugly stepchild of Portland crags, this area suffers from varying amounts of vagrants, trash, and the noise of a nearby freeway. However, some fantastic short climbs can be found here, making a good alternative to Broughton Bluff on crowded days. |
| Nearest town or city: | Portland |
| Directions: | Take I-84 take 82nd. Ave. exit(eastbound), drive north to the intersection of Freemont and 82nd. Turn right (east), drive approximately 1/2 mile. The road curves north to become 91st street, (eventually to loop clockwise around to the top of Rocky Butte).The cliffs are located notrh side of the road near the Bible Temple Church "domes." |
