Notable People

Don Gonthier is the person who, upon driving back to Portland one day after climbing together with a friend, said to Abbott, "Hey, there is this spot along the old scenic U.S. 35 Highway in the Columbia Gorge that I think you might be interested in."
So they stopped by at the Cave and took a tour.
It was the future Rat Cave, and indeed Abbott was interested in it.

We now know that it was through Don's indefatigable on-the-road search and discovery efforts that brought so many of small crags to the light of day for various rock climbers in the Portland region. From mini crags over in the Bulo area, to Hunchback Wall, including the Rat Cave, and more.

Thanks Don!
