Rooster Rock is a well-known 180-foot pillar of Columbia River basalt located below the cliffs of Crown Point at the western end of Rooster Rock State Park. The rock was an ancient Indian place of worship and was originally called Woutoulat. This is probably the rock mentioned by Lewis & Clark as their camping place on November 2, 1805. According to Oregon Geographic Names, the modern name is of phallic significance.

Activity Notes

This is the perfect first alpine style climb for the BCEP Graduate. Long, easy 5th class rock with a double rope rappel. It is close to town and offers great views up and down the Columbia Gorge. 

This climb is primarily for the BCEP Graduate, but I would like to offer up a Leadership Development evaluation for assisting and/or the lead to a recent AR graduate. 

Full gear list and carpool list once the team is selected.

Feel free to email me with any questions.
