Access Issue: Safer Seward Hwy Project Threatens Alaska Climbing Details

Deadline for public comments: February 27, 2026

See Access Fund's page for more info ( accessfund.org/action-alert…)

Description

A nice collection of moderate sport routes. As with nearly all Seward Highway climbs, it can be quite windy, and have some cruddy rock, so wear your helmet!

Getting There

Mile 4.7 on the Seward Highway, look for a pullout parking area on the north side of the highway. Walk down the grassy area to the east (along the highway) to find the climbs.

This is a very popular area, park perpendicular to the rocks, parallel parking is for cities.
