Prime Rib on the Goat Wall in Mazama is a 5.9 sport climb that can be climbed in 7 or 8 pitches.

This is a mostly moderate route with a couple of 5.9- moves and a harder 5.9 pitch which comes at the very end.  We will car shuttle so we can "walk off" the route, rather then rappel.   I'm keeping the party size small to decrease impacts on this popular wall.

You should be a confident 5.8/5.9 leader (on bolts) because there is a good amount of climbing involved with longish pitches at sustained moderate (5.7/5.8) range, and because this is a longer MULTI-PITCH route.
