Climbing in Metaline Falls, Washington this summer

[Phil Persson]

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone wants to hit up Metaline Falls/Pend Oreille Village crags this weekend and any other time this summer? I am a 21 year old student living in Metaline Falls this summer for an internship as a geologist at Teck-Cominco's Pend Oreille Mine here, and have a house right in town which has plenty of space so if anyone is thinking about headin up from Spokane ect... is lookin to climb over the weekend and crash in town for the night you are welcome to! I lead up to ~5.11d sport but would be happy to belay people on harder stuff or TR. Also looking for partners for surrounding climbing and mountaineering in Northeastern WA and Southeastern B.C; I climb sport a lot but I like alpine multipitch trad much more; have rack + gear + experience looking for partners!!

Best Regards,

Phil Persson.

Anyone in Spokane or Nelson B.C area interested in doing some climbing in Northeastern WA/Southern B.C in the next few weeks and lookin for partners? Let me know, there's all this great climbing around here, I mean I can look out my window here in Metaline Falls and see 70+ routes 1/4 mile away, but ALAS NO CLIMBERS!! I'm convinced there must be some climbers somewhere up here in the wilds of Northeastern Washington haha...
