Heel Hook Rock

Washington > Central-E Casca… > Leavenworth > Tumwater Canyon > * Bouldering in… > Swiftwater Boul… > Swiftwater Picnic Area

Description

Short overhangy routes directly off the walking path offer some quite fun and quick climbing. Not much room for crowds here and there is no reason to spend more than a few moments ticking these lines off as you make your way to the adjacent areas.

The rock is easy on the hands and not too far from water if you needed to cool down.

Getting There

Across the parking area from Hate Rock you will find a well establish path. Follow for a few hundred meters until you spot this rock on your left. Heel Hook Rock stands at about 6 feet in height and has an obvious short roof with established lines.
