12 miles of hiking • 4500' elevation gain •

Another exploration of the area near Grays Creek, this time to the west under Indian Point. Three gullies - the first was the Shooting Gallery, which we turned back from due to rockfall. Second dead ended. Third was a long straight shot all the way up to the Gorton Creek trail, making this the directiest line yet. Off and on rain, tons of mist, exciting and steep scrambling.

Estimated numbers because I don't have a GPS.

Directiest is my new favorite adjective.

Thanks to you, I spent an hour scouring the PDX area for a copy of Olsen's Gorge Classic Climbs. I've been to Indian Pt., but now Wyeth Crown is on the list. Thanks for the stoke!

Cool Nat, I look forward to your Wyeth Crown TR! Just try your approach from the west (right side of it as seen from the 400 trail). That route should be much easier than the one we did last weekend.
