Choss and the Art of Bolt Placement

Begin on a detached pillar, climbing past a couple bolts. At the top of the pillar, step across to the main wall and continue climbing on blocky terrain to an anchor the top of the formation. The rock quality probably won't inspire confidence, but the length of the climb might be refreshing if you've only climbed at the lower cliff.

The name is a reference to the classic novel "Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".... and the rock quality of the upper cliff. This was the first route I bolted at Wallula

Make your way into the drainage south of the formation.  Follow this trail up the drainage before cutting across the slope to the wall. This route starts on a notable, detached pilar
