Eastern Wa. aint to bad climate wise, but having spent some time in E. Wenatchee you might want to look else where. With all the chemicals that have been sprayed in the orchards for the last few decades, It's finally taking it's toll on the population. Some of the most grizzly murders have taken place in that town in the last couple years from the good neighbor next door. Some time location isn't worth the risk. Winthrop is pretty sweet too, but not much work in the winter, unless you can get on at the BIG lodge. Great biking in the summer and close to some serious winter climbs.

I haven't been out there in a couple of years, but I know form past experience, the owner is being more than generous in letting us climb out there,($5 well spent) plus there are some pretty decent routes for such a small area. Stay's fairly cool in the summer too!

What's PRG charging now for the honor of pulling on plastic at their little piece of climbers paradise?

East side or West side? Lucky lab is good on the East, or there's a McMinimins on every corner, right next to the nearest Starbucks

I thought I saw talk of this a week or so ago, but has anyone in Oregon thought of starting a PC in the Portland area?

Thanks for the info. I have a copy of Oregon High, but was wondering about the section the book shows as hidden. I hope the weather holds because the route looks sweet.

Weather permitting (and it doesn't look like it will) I'm planning a bomb run on the Reid late tonight/early Saturday morning. I climbed about half the route last Saturday untill I turned around, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the route finding is as straight forward on the upper half as it is on the lower half. I appreciate all beta.
