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. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

This route is a somewhat adventurous sport route. A little funky, a little spicy, but not too much drama. Begin immediately left of tunnel #1, and climb up the (somewhat) sparsely bolted face. This is a good introduction to the steeper routes at Beacon.

Location 

Hike down the "climbers trail" past the popular Southeast face route. The route is located immediately left of tunnel #1.

Protection 

Four bolts to a two-bolt anchor. A #2 metolius cam or equivalent is highly recommended for the pod between the first and second bolts. Optional mid-range gear placements are high on the route.
