We Did Rock

Washington > Central-W Casca… > N Bend & Vicinity > Exit 38 > Deception Crags

Description

We Did Rock is just east of Deception Wall on the Iron Horse trail. Though it faces north, the rock is exposed and gets a reasonable amount of sun in the summer months. It is split between a tall, grippy slab on the right and a steeper blocky section on the left. It can be one of the most crowded crags at Deception, mainly because it has so many quality 5.9s and the approach is a breeze.

Getting There

From the top of the Deception crag approach trail, head east on the railroad grade over the trestle, past the side trail to Nevermind, and past Deception crag. There is a Honey Bucket near the base of We Did Rock.

[Hide Comment] The routes here are divided into two groups, which are separated by some shrubs and unappealing looking rock. Most of the climbs are in the east (left) section (including Blockhead and Absolutely Nothing); there are four in the west (right) section. Aug 23, 2011

[Hide Comment] Great crag, don't worry about run-outs, this place is very well bolted. A little loose rock but not terribly loose. Use good judgement your first go. Aug 9, 2012

[Hide Comment] Pretty chossy in my opinion... Quite a few of the chalked up features are just loose rocks. Totally climbable but ya use caution. Jul 12, 2016

[Hide Comment] Polished, crowded, lackluster climbs, generally overrated. Pretty consistent with the majority of Deception, aside from Nevermind. Aug 13, 2023

[Hide Comment] The routes on the main wall are slightly harder for the grade than many other over at far side in my opinion. At least more intimidating bolt space for the newer leader. Super busy. Jun 8, 2024
