Beta for Leavenworth Area
|
Heading up to a wedding near Leavenworth and we are are going to have about a week to climb and explore the area. I have found tons of trad routes to check out, but I also wondering about sport areas. Does any one know any good sport climbing crags in the area with routes from 5.10 - 5.12? |
|
Do Das Musak on castle rock 11d, it's high up on my list. |
|
For sport routes at that grade, you'll get more bang for your buck in Index. For trad too. Just go and you'll understand. |
|
rattlesnake rock for face, bathtub dome for bolted slab, cantaloupe island slab, drip wall for harder stuff. get trad gear man |
|
If you're wanting some easier sport multi-pitch you should check out Condorphamine Addiction (10b 7 pitches). It's a nice way to spend half a day. |
|
If you've never been, go to Pearly Gates. There's bolted, mixed, and trad all on a very nice wall...some of the best routes in Leavenworth. 5.8 - 11.d |

When you're in L-worth drop into Der Sportsman or L-worth Mtn Sports and grab Viktor Kramer's new L-worth guide. Lot's of stuff nearby, some sport routes. Also Frenchman'd Coulee south of the town of Quincy has lot's of .10/.11 sports routes, about an 1 1/2 hrs from L-worth. L-worth sport routes are mostly slab, Frenchman's are face and crack climbs. |
