Description
The cliff's trail flattens out below Wasabe Groove, distinguishable by a bolt on the right face of its crux corner. Raven Ridge starts down the trail from this and begins at a groove below the first bolt. Walk the groove up (or mantle?) to get established on the slab and make your first clip. Follow the scoop of the slab up past a few more bolts to gain a nice ledge midway up the route. The slab eases up (and is a run out) up and follows a large left facing corner (potential small pro?) until the next bolt. Make a fun move over the corner out right and continue up to an anchor w/ carabiners.
A 60m rope will lower you into Wasabe Groove's corner where you'll probably need to scramble to get back to your pack. TIE KNOTS AT THE ROPE END
It looks like a second pitch could possibly lead up from here. The anchors give a nice view of the upper part of the cliff out left.
Location
One of the furthest routes to the (climber's) right. Just right of Wasabe Groove's corner (distinguished by a bolt in the right side of the corner).
Protection
Bolted, with possible small pro on the big left facing corner on the upper half. Otherwise, easy runout.
