We're (me, becky, carolyn, porno puppies) are leaving bend this evening and will be getting in pretty late. Who else is going to be around Friday for craggin?

 

I'm hoping (like always) to do some easier stuff that has walk offs as Becky don't like da rappel. Any suggestions?

For truly moderate multipitch routes and a simple approach/descent Castle Rock has the finest and most scenic climbs in Leavenworth. Hands down.

 

The South Face of Jello Tower is similar to that stupid sport climb at Duty Dome that everybody loves (cover of guide one version ago), but kicks its ass in so many ways...

 

...course, it's not a sport climb.

 

 

ETA: I remembered the name now, Jazzy Document.

It could be 5.8+ but ChucK's point was that it is a good steep face climb (though short). And there are megabolts and chains at the top for the sport-type lowering set up.

 

I don't think it is a dangerous climb if you know what you are doing, but I suppose it may be a dangerous climb for one who is relatively new to placing gear or who's belayer is going to stand away from the bottom of the climb and be all casual about it and stuff. E may be right, though, that people deck from it a lot. There is a cruxy move right near the start, and you have to place gear while hanging on your arms, and those gear placements are not 100% straight forward. Above this, there is a stretch where most people run it out on easier ground for a little bit, too. But I don't think it merits an "R" in the guidebook or anything.
