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 climb is for BCEP Team 3 graduates and assistants but others are welcome if the interest from Team 3 is low. There is an Osprey Nest near Rooster Rock that closed climbing for the Summer. There is a chance that State Parks may extend this closure which would cancel this event. Find Activity Financial Aid Info here: https://mazamas.org/financialaid/
