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

Rooster rock is a fun rock climb in the gorge. It is low fifth class and accessible to anyone who has taken BCEP. It is open to ALL BCEP students. Since we are climbing on Monday, it will not be crowded and we will have a great time. I anticipate 3 hours total from the time we meet at 5pm to when we get back to the cars. But we have allocated 4 hours in case we are delayed. Please email the leader if you have any questions.
