5.5 miles of hiking • 1250' elevation gain •
Awesome spot. It was made even better by the root gully,nearly vertical, exposed, class 3/4 amazing climb to the mouth of the upper falls. The route is left side, looking from the bottom, and allows exploration of all the tiers from the basalt shelves.
It does not seem doable from the bottom, the consequences are severe, PH never mentions the option and I would never down-climb it.
That said, It was Soooo Fun. You should do it. The first 15 feet are the hardest. You should do it.
Props to Scott Cook, Curious Gorge - Entry # 57.
