Robin Lakes & Granite Mountain (near Mt. Daniel)

[CaleHoopes]

Hey,

 

Anyone have any beta on rock climbs around Robin Lakes & Granite Mountain ridge?

 

I went up there camping on Labor Day and saw what I think is quite a bit of great multi-pitch opportunities on the northeast side of upper Robin Lake and quite a bit of multi-pitch opportunities on the eastern side of the high point of Granite Mountain. In addition, some really great bouldering opportunities above upper Robin Lake with easy access.

 

Thoughts?

 

I thought I'd see some beta in CAG but it looks like it's too far for Beckey to walk (or the gullies aren't obvious enough).

I know Cappelini and Rolf climbed the N Face of granite a few years back. Maybe a write up in the NWMJ but I'm not sure.

Hey guys! Thanks for the responses. Great TR.

 

It looks like great rock, and while there's a potentially "long" approach, the camping opportunities are awesome and beautiful.

 

Seems like a great place to put up some new routes.
