The two massive boulders supporting the wooden platform under this route finally gave out and rolled into the river on earth day 4/22/08. We lost a rope (6 or 7 core shots as the largest boulder rolled over the stacked line) and some toenails but walked away. I do not recommend sitting on the now unsupported wooden rail. Does anyone know how hard the seam is 15 ft to the right of the route?

*What is "Route Beta"?
It's climber slang for information or tips on a route as in, "what's
the beta on that route?" As a service to fellow climbers we ask SuperTopo
