westernbackcountryskier Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 Does anyone have any beta on pearly gates in leavenworth, I've only heard rumors of it, and just wondered where it is, what the ratings are, that kind of thing, had a good weekend climbing givler's crack and Bo derek. Good weekend at leavenworth despite thousands of mountaineers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 It is about a 40 minute walk from Snow Creek Parking lot. Ratings are 5.7 -5.11 cracks mostly taking the best routes. Â To get there : Â Hike across the bridge towards snow creek wall. Cross drainage. At first switchback cut right and across Snow Creek. Lots of downed trees. Gain faint trail heading up and left. Follow cairns to the white looking rock on the back side of snow creek wall.. Â Chain anchors all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 i agree with ray, there are plenty of obvious routes that you do not need a guidebook....lead in the .10s and you can have a great time there....lead in the .8s and you can have a great time there.....i have a hard time seeing any r rated routes, unless you do not bring gear, then those cracks will probably be quite sporting if protected by quickdraws..... Â it is a great crag.... Â enjoy and be safe erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And crackbolter should make sure the equipment has been sterilized before he gets that bolt installed. He he you guys troll each other good.

It seems you think you know all about washington climbing 'cause you hear yourself yabbering so much. Thing is, you don't realize there are quite a few (relatively silent) people out there who hear you and know enough to see you're full of shit (reference CrackBolter's comment above). Of all the disgusting disease, diareah of the mouth is the worst. Â and yes, I do know about this crag. Tried to scope it (ok, from the car) about a month ago. What, you think I never make it back to WA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayborbon Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Good for you max. I dont care about other quiet climbers that think I am full of it. Godo for them too. I am capable of saying any remakr I wish. Only you choose to defend anyone that does not like me even if they make dumb remarks like noted above <--- c'mon lick those dingleberries off max.

Retrosaurus Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Max, I hear that all climbs have updated info in the new book. You should stay home until it comes out for your own safety. Hopefully it will be obsolete by the time it is available, then you should just stay home. Â One word: ADVENTURE. Been there? Can't find it in a guide book.

rayborbon Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Crackbolter, Â You are silly. No need for a book to climb on rock. I never had one and climbed plenty of routes there without an issue. I dont think I climb well either. I was able to spot the routes that looked good. Â R rated or not you can always TR the stuff. Get real. People dont need a book to make it "Safe" at Pearly Gates. Â I can only suspect you are a friend of or are slapphappy. BTW was that you scrubbing moss across from Castle Rock this weekend?
