Water Slip Down

Water Slip Down is another obvious line that folks have stared at for years. Climb an easy, left-facing dihedral to the slopey ledge. Engage the short, steep black wall through seams on quality stone. Fingerlocks with super techy feet make this crux about V6. Continue on more easy terrain to the top of the wall.

Located about 50 yards downstream from

The River Why

, there's an obvious pullout right in front of the wall. After crossing the stream, find a rough trail 20-30 yards upstream from

The River Why

. This takes you up and around to a grassy area above the cliff. There's an anchor here from which you can rappel, or carefully downclimb to chain anchors near the lip. Take the time to place your quickdraws and chalk holds on the way down to the semi-hanging belay.

If you are concerned about getting back out, leave a fixed line, and bring a jug so you can always escape.

TYROL: once someone has done the hike around and rappeled in, you can easily set up a temporary Tyrolean. There's a two bolt anchor on a large boulder directly below the pullout, across from the hanging belay. Folks can ferry across to climb, and it makes it less of a cluster at the belay. You can also escape this way if you have good tactics. PLEASE do not leave fixed lines up, the Forest Service and Boating Community do not approve of them.

9 bolts + a 2 bolt anchor.
