JonNelson Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I've heard that Nason Creek (near Leavenworth) has a lot of moderate, yet steep sport climbs. I've never been to the area. Where can I get info about the area and the routes? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-spotter Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Try googling "Nason Ridge" instead of "Nason Creek" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete_H Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I know access is an issue, but secret crags are so stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rad Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I know access is an issue, but secret crags are so stupid. Amen. I understand the main developers have moved away or moved on - so now there are a bunch of routes that are not getting climbed. Maybe time to have a conversation with the land owners and get this thing in the open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Nason is far from a secret crag, and who would want to keep it secret, it's an uber choss pile. Nonetheless it's fun climbing and I never see people up there anymore. I am friends with the landowners, they currently have no problems with people climbing there but have asked that directions not be posted on the internet. Best to PM someone who's responded to this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimmo Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 nothing wrong with secret crags. might not suit everyone's fancy for "equal access for all"; just reality. not everything is equal opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete_H Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I propose ADA wheelchair accessable paved trails to all routes in Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boadman Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I'm actually not being sarcastic when I agree that it's a pile. I can't see any reason to go there this time of year when stuff on the west-side is climbable. If you're going to drive to leavy, might as well boulder.

bwrts Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 If you're going to drive to leavy, might as well boulder. 'cause thats all the good rock we got in this sheithole of a town. but remember pick up your cigerette butts, tapewads and don't tick the rocks unless you are going to clean ugly mess off when done. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGecko Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Anyone want to go to Nason for a tour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderman Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 From the rest stop on Highway 2, head west about 2.1-2.2 miles and park next to a cluster of mailboxes on the north side of the highway. The trail starts right behind the mailboxes, north of highway 2, and 3 feet east of a driveway. The trail parallels the driveway ON THE NORTH-EAST side of it. STAY OFF THE DRIVEWAY-as that is private property. Climb some of the best and most overhung sport routes in Washington. You won't miss the overhanging caves with a 10-20 minute approach. Have fun.
