Description

North Flakes Tower has two distinct climbing faces, The North Flakes and The West Face.The North Flakes: A wide chimney breaks the north face into two segments, with two routes on the left and three on the right.The West Face: Three climbs (so far) clustered at the upper end of the West Face, opposite Moon Flakes on General Friction Slab.

Getting There

The access trail from general Rock brings you down to a ledge at the top of North Flakes. From here scramble down the “Exit Gully” to the upper end of the West Face or use the abseil anchors that deposit you at the base of Mindful Friction. The base of North Flakes Tower and General Friction Slab are close together and connected with short trails, so accessing the base of either gives you access to all climbs. There is plenty of shade in the dense forest surrounding the base.
