Activity Notes

What to expect - Rooster Rock is less than a 30 minute drive out in the Gorge.  The climb is two pitches.  The first is 4th class and is done on a vertical fixed line.  The second pitch is low 5th class and will be belayed from above.  The climb can be done in boots.  To get down, you rappel the full length of the rope back to the ground.  The hike in is short.  Climbers should be prepared for fixed line travel, top rope climbing on a vertical pitch, rappelling, and all of the knots and safeties these skills require.  

We will meet at towards the west end of the Rooster Rock State Park parking lot (near the bathrooms) and be ready to hike in at 8 AM.  Carpooling is encouraged. An OREGON STATE PARK PERMIT (or equivalent) is required for parking ($5.00 one day pass available at the entrance).  The 2 PM finish time is an estimate - expect to be done by early afternoon.
