Location: WA : Index Town Walls : The Side Walls : K Cliff
By: Todd M. Miller When: Aug 21, 2011 | view comment >> |
Comments: Regarding the description above: in the past, this crag was neglected and usually dirty - mainly due to tree branches that came too close to the wall. Recently, this crag received some much needed care - many of the routes have been recleaned and some of the branches, etc that kept this crag shady and grimey have been removed. It feels like a new, much better place.

Location: WA : Index Town Walls : Lookout Point Area : Lookout Point : Peanuts To Serve You (5.9)

Comments: Excellent route! A C4 #5 was nice to have to protect the start of the layback flake.
Some additional information to help you find it: Hike as if heading to Private Idaho, taking the first well-defined trail to the right after passing the boulder and heading uphill. Where this trail forks and heading right would take you over to the base of Private Idaho, go left and uphill following the trail into a drainage/gully. The trail then cuts back right and traverses along the base of the clif... more >>

Location: WA : Index Town Walls : Middle Town Walls : The Blues Cliff : Number 9 (5.10a)

Comments: It should be noted that the route name as I originally saw it was written as #9, however MP would not let me use the # symbol in the title of the route.
Also, I don't know iclimb's real name - if anyone does, please drop a note and I'll fix this description.

Location: WA : Index Town Walls : Upper Wall Lower Cliffs : Shady Lane : Chronic Relief (5.9)

Comments: This route was recleaned in May 2009. Due to the shady nature of the crag, it can be slow to dry. Consider bringing a small brush along (grill brush, etc.) to make any necessary touch ups to keep any invading moss at bay.

Comments: This route was recleaned in May 2009. As the title implies, Shady Lane is, well, shady. Consider bringing a small brush (grill brush, etc.) along and scrubbing off any moss that you may see creeping up.

Comments: NOTE: The lead bolts and anchor bolts on this route are all brand new and bombproof. However, some very old junky webbing was threaded through the new bolts at the anchor. The next person who climbs this should bring:
- A small knife to cut off the old webbing.
- Some fresh webbing and quicklinks (or chains if you're feeling like doing some real community service).
You will be rewarded for your efforts with general appreciation from the climbing community, the 3 carabiners that are curren... more >>

Location: WA : Index Town Walls : Lookout Point Area : Rattletale Wall : Rattletale (5.10a/b)

Comments: Great route! Cheers to whoever put the P1 and P2 anchors in - not so sure how long the fin/boulder with slings on P1 and the sling covered bush on P2 would have supported the route's well-deserved popularity.

Location: WA : Index Town Walls : Upper Wall Lower Cliffs : Shady Lane

Comments: The trail to get to this crag is currently not very well defined at the beginning (but is still smooth walking, definitely no bushwhacking). A few more details to help you find the crag:
Hike almost all the way to the Upper Wall. The Upper Wall trail passes directly beneath a large cliff with some cool looking roofs/overlaps shortly before the last steep bit up to the Upper Wall itself. You can see the Upper Wall just above when approaching this cliff. Go left here and hike along the base ... more >>
