Beacon Rock is only open to climbers from July 15th through February 2nd due to peregrine falcon nesting. MORE INFO >>>
From the Washington Park's Page Beacon Rock offers excellent opportunities for rock climbing except where it interferes with nesting raptors, primarily on the south face. The presence of the falcon nest requires that the south face be closed to technical rock activity February 1 to mid-July annually; open the rest of the year. The east face is closed year-round due to environmental sensitivity. Call the park at (509) 427-8265 for more information.
Description
This route starts just to the right of pipeline. Climb the discontinuous crack and face on gear till you get to a lone bolt. Finish up a finger and hand crack to the windsurfer anchor.
The protection is there for the first half of this climb, just don't skip any placements! After pulling around the midway roof, the face climbing past the bolt is some of the best at Beacon. Thanks for this route, Markd.
