Nate J Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 where would you find info on first ascents in the leavenworth area other than the current guidebook (Kramar 2010)? climbed something near Bear Cave Crag this weekend- wondering if it's documented?

Sol Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 How hard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate J Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 i'd say 5.9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate J Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 it's a hand-crack traverse on solid rock- right off the trail. many folks must walk by and see it. bit dirty- doesn't see much/ hasn't seen any traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Did summit-chaser do a documentary on that route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telemarker Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Theres no such thing as a FA in Leavenworth that's within 1,500' of the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate J Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 thats what i figure too. it's a cool climb though. worthwhile if you're in the area and climb 5.9s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottP Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Theres no such thing as a FA in Leavenworth that's within 1,500' of the road. Would that be vertical, or linear, or both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate J Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Here's a pic of the climb [img:center]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-QG-WWLBEYMA/UUaCmr9w0kI/AAAAAAAAAOo/cvyFOA3zA9o/s800/IMG_2759.JPG[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmatt Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 The fact that the rock is pretty clean probably tells you everything. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hi Nate, That would be "Shazzam" 5.9, gear to 3.5 FA: Brad Metz, Danielle Szabo You should have seen it before the scrubdown, FILTHY! Still could use a little love,but being so short, I never really made it a priority. I'm surprised you didn't notice the two Madrock hangers set back from the top of the crack. Nice send dude!
