Trip: Static Point - Lost Charms, 5.9, 5 p

Trip Date: 08/30/2020

Trip Report:

 

Did a search and the last TR for Static Point was from ten years ago! 

 

Rat and I climbed Lost Charms yesterday; beautiful day and we had the place all to ourselves.  If you're looking to avoid the Vantage/Leavenworth crowds, this would be a good place to do it.  Beta for Lost Charms can be found on Mtn Project or in Sky Valley Rock if you are or know an old coot who has the book.  Fun route; more route-finding necessary than most slab routes as you're not just following a line of bolts.  We agreed the 5.6 finger crack was a particularly fun pitch. 

Trail is in stellar shape and Online is sporting shiny brand new bolts and rap stations.  Go get it.

Gear Notes:
Rack to #3 Camalot, slings, double 60m ropes

Approach Notes:
US 2, north on Sultan Basin Road to Spada Reservoir, take the right fork after reservoir, park in first pullout on left after you cross the bridge, hike up blocked-off logging road directly across from the pullout ~1 hour, then turn left at massive cairn and go uphill  ~0.5 hour.

Glad to hear the trail is in great shape and new hardware on the classic. I need to make it back out. That place is old school and quite good.

You know, I never have climbed there.  Sounds like I need to change that!
