Amazing sport climbing unlike anything else in Washington, roofs, techy, steep, powerful: Gneiss at it's best.
20 minute hike from Hwy 2, 1 mile West of the Rest Area on East side of the pass.
An access trail has been blazed in the last couple of years that eliminates the private property issue.
I owned land within 1/2 mile of the area for 3 years and did a fair bit of developing.
The reticent locals thought I put my bolts "too far" apart, I found out later via an e-mail threat to add 20 bolts to my routes. Sortly thereafter, the communal "list" we had all been adding to disappeared.
There are at my last check (over 2 years ago, BTW), over 40 routes from 5.10 to 5.12, and tons more to develop.
My pride and joy is "Rufus" an .11c I put up with Glacier and Alpinfox over a period that pulls a 5-foot horizontal roof with multiple .11 cruxes. Also, Gunstone, in memory of a good friend .11b, Airborne Ranger, .11b, and the "Mod Squad Wall", which Alpinfox and I developed one wonderful spring, sporting some "moderates"
Thanks to Alpinfox, Glacier, Skyclimb, Distel and Wirlwind for your time, help and excitement during this fun development!
Go get sum.
