This is a beautiful, 80 foot dihedral/corner crack. It is great, clean hands to fingers in the corner. The name is from locals who told us about it. It is a great climb with great protection.

Crack A Oh No

Working Stiff

Hemingway's Farewell

Air Gilman

Air Gilman sits on the fourth formation after Working Stiff and is one of two lines on this crag. Start on the face on the left, or from the corner a more direct variation is possible. Several hard moves on a steep wall kick up one of the better lines at Gilman. Rastaman, to the right, is an easier way up the crag but requires several mid sized camming units.

One quarte mile from the parking is a dark cliff with its main wall facing the rr tracks. This crag hosts three bolted 60 ft lines. Working Stiff is the left most of the three. Climb up on good edges, solid stone, and interesting climbing.

Hemingway's Farewll is on the West side of the creek. Most of the climbs in Gilman are on the East side. From the parking area, follow the railroad tracks until they fork --take the left fork (west side of creek) for about ten minutes, and look for a mile marker "295" sign on your left.  Just past the sign -- scramble up the talus for 40 feet.  Hemingway's Farewell is the middle of the 3 sport routes. It was the first route on the wall.  Face climb up the slightly overhanging black granite wall on crimps and slopers, pass the upper hang and head slightly right for the chains.  The route is surprisingly pumpy and requires a bit of endurance and some technique between bolts #2 and #3.
