WA Pass Alpine


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hey, I've climbed for a while, but I'm new to climbing in the cascades. Looking through the guide books there seem to be a lot of great routes around Washington Pass.

 

I was wondering what others might recommend as a good route to do your first time up there. I can lead in the 5.10 range.

 

Thanks

Liberty Crack! It has many (6?) *** pitches between 5.7 and 5.9. Highly featured, solid granite, and steep! You just gotta get through (or have someone with you to lead) the aid pitches at the start [big Grin] .

 

NW Corner of NEWS is also excellent. It only has 3 *** pitches, but is much less work than LC.

 

Haven't done the DEB SEWS but (almost) everyone raves about it.
