Index rules. Bring a large rack and prepare to get squashed by the ratings. Looks like a mini Squamish or something.. Good sportos at Country dont know much else on that subject.

Free camping and parking kick ass. [big Drink] Pub nearby with lowlife rednecks are always entertaining.

Ray:

Your application to the Eastern Snohomish County chapter of the Lowlife Redneck Fellows has finally been reviewed and subsequently approved.

We are willing to overlook your aparant addiction to Duran Duran and WHAM! music because you can party with the best of them and your apparant desire to kill mountain goats.

We look forward to an initiation ritual next meeting where you will be required to play "I'm a Cowboy Baby" by Kid Rock on a banjo.

The 5.8 on the extreme right hand side of Upper Town Wall - classic! Princely is pretty 9+/10a, not 5.8. Maybe the 2nd pitch, but not the first!

I have been up on a 5.8 (?) route called the Backroad on the extreme left margin of the Upper Wall twice now and have never figured out where it goes to get to the top. Has anyone actually done that route to the top, and if so, where does it go from the rightward traverse onto the ledge?

Also, the rock to the east of the Beyond has been developed from what I hear. Has anyone done any of those routes, and if so, are they worth the walk?

I haven't seen anyone mention p1 of The Zipper. Stemming up an overhanging finger crack, then a thin crack up a slab with interesting features. 10a/b-ish and real nice. p2 is a nice aid pitch through a huge roof ("ice cream scoop roof") if you like aid.
