Burge North (Tonasket) Climbing

This page includes four separate crags just a couple of miles NE of Burge Mtn. on the lower NW/W/SW slopes of Mt Pheobe, all composed of gneiss, all on FS land, and all accessed from the same parking spot on the Burge Mtn Rd - #3235

Listed from north to south;

Hidden Canyon is the most northern and isolated crag, up to 220' tall with a variety of short and long, easy and hard routes (26 mixed and sport routes, 5.5 to 5.12a as well as some boulder problems V-easy to V3).

The secluded CSC Bouldering Area just above and west of the small pond about 1/2 way in to Hidden Canyon (34 short problems V-easy to V1-).

The small SJW Wall about 1/3 of the way in to Hidden Canyon. A fun place to visit with relatively easy access and nice views from the top. It has good rock, a nicely featured short SW face with some easy sport climbs, a longer more interesting west face and a shaded north facing bouldering wall (9 routes 5.5 to 5.10d, and 8 problems V1 to V5).

And the small and delightfully secluded Burge Hollow - Hidden Canyon South area just a few hundred yards south of the parking turn off, with some great rock and short moderate climbs (21 mixed and sport routes 5.7 to 5.11d/12a).

One big plus; no rattlers, same as at Burge.
