ApeMan Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I was wondering if anyone here has ever done any of the routes there? It is listed in the Beckey guide book, about 3 miles North of Chinook Pass on the Crest trail. In theory there are at least 3 routes, about 3 pitches long and 5.7. I was wondering about the rock and route quality, if it's reasonable to even go in there. Thanks Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdietsch Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Apeman, Years ago (20+) a buddy and I took a day and I did the Hargis route and one of the two chimneys, can’t recall exactly which one … my best recollection was great views from the top, absolutely no one around,, mediocre climbing on somewhat crappy rock with some loose ones thrown in for spice … pretty dirty … I would not be surprised if these routes haven’t been done since the time we were there … in the 20 years that I lived in Yakima I don’t know of anyone else that ever climbed there ...

sobo Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 D00d, I still think we should just go to Clearwater... Ended up going to Spring Mountain with some old climbing buds from the Tri-Cities and Walla Walla. I've got a couple of flappers now... Curse you, Fab Slab! FWIW, the Nez Perce National Forest/South Fork of the Clearwater River is on fire right now, on the east side of the river about 6 miles south of Strangeville.
