OlympicMtnBoy Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Seen a few bolts on sandstone spires up that way while hiking. Anyone know anything about any of these random blobs of rock? Exclamation point rock looking like interesting aid on scary old rivets but some rocks up near Cheese looked like newer glue ins. Might be camping over there next weekend with family but may bring a bit of gear to explore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rat Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Not sure but they're probably a combination of older & newer efforts by Cle Elum/Ellensburg locals. Maybe also some contributions from the Tacoma crew that did routes in the Swauk Pinnacles (late 90's if I remember correctly). But you already knew that. Leland Windham et. al. have been active up the North Fork. You'll also find numerous small sandstone pinnacles along side roads (e.g. Shaser Cr.) of the Old Blewett Pass Hwy. Leavenworth locals played on those in the '80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicMtnBoy Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 Thanks Rat, that’s about what I figured, just have to take some gear up and check things out. Now I just need someone to hold a baby for a few minutes so my wife can belay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicMtnBoy Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 Yep, we climbed a fun little pitch up there! Maybe the “Four Pillars”? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
