Prime Rib is an 11 pitch, 5.9 bolted climb on Goat Wall in Mazama. It is well protected and all of the belay anchors are in comfortable places. The scramble up to the face, via talus was not pleasant and was less fun in the dark, coming back down! Since it was a holiday weekend, there were 4-5 other teams doing the climb, slowing things down a bit. We did not find any of the pitches terribly difficult and several of them were pleasantly airy. On the other hand, the rappel was a chore and took us much longer than we had planned (12 hours total for the climb & rappel). We learned that we need to work on rope management, but the winds also caused us a lot of problems, blowing the rope across the face and tangling it.
