This route features some fun crack climbing down low, a transition rightward to a horizontal, followed by heady bolt-protected face moves through black rock to the top.

Ape Man Hop

Northwest Passage

Toprope the slab between Route 66 and Hit it Ethel. This is a long pitch of very continuous, sustained 5.8 slab climbing; at the top move slightly right and climb up a thin seam in patina (5.9).

The obvious curved hand crack on Mary Ann's face. Rap from bolted anchor and rings above Hit it Ethel.

Just left of a hand/fist crack ( Route 66 )on the main upper slab lies this route.  It meaders up past a bolt to a roof.  It passes the roof left to another bolt and continue to the top.

2 of 5 stars.

To approach this climb tunnel under a large boulder left of the main Gilligan's Island face.  This is visable as a red stained arete on the high face.

Interesting moves past the first bolt leads to average slab climbing.  Interest is kept alive through the first three bolts as they all appear quite decrepit and the second seems to have a crack.

Barely 1 of 5 *'s.
