The lower Tieton crags (Royal Columns and the Bend) are closed for raptor nesting beginning February 1 each year. Depending on nest location and success, the closure can be lifted as early as April or as late as July.
Wildcat Cliff from the approach road
Description
Do you like sustained 100 foot routes that are classic start to finish? This is the place for you! Sun doesn't hit this wall until 4pm in late spring, haven't climbed here in the summer yet. Temps there are perfect in 80 degree weather!
Getting There
Take Wild Cat rode off of High Way 12, roughly 30 minutes outside of Naches. It's two roads past a small store, there's a doll thingy of a guy with a bear chasing him up a tree right out from of the store. Once on Wild Cat road, follow it past a cabin resort, pavements ends here. Take every left for following that. About 2 miles up this road you will drive between two crazy walls, one is honey combed and the other one has long hexongal like rock formations, park 100 yards past these. Walk back to those walls and cut right just before reaching them, follow the trail 10 minutes down this to the wall.
