Spokane Bouldering

Purchase this book

For the past six decades, bouldering in the Eastern Washington area has served as a training and testing ground for some of the world’s grittiest climbers. With the sprawling and diverse collection of conveniently accessible and excellent rock, the Spokane River Valley spans rugged hillsides with panoramic views to tucked-away hidden hallways of stone. Climbers of any skill level can enjoy the exploration and challenges that have cultivated the accomplishments and pride of the people who have helped develop the area. Nate Lynch and Shane Collins have spent over a decade cleaning, climbing, and cataloging the Spokane boulders to bring you this comprehensive guide. This book is sure to inspire you with over 700 problems, detailed maps, accurate history, seemingly unnecessary commentary on Star Wars, and action photographs.

Weekend Rock Washington

Purchase this book

This guide is for climbers with busy lives who want to make the most of their time on the rock. Trips can be completed in a day or two: most approaches are short, drive time from urban centers is noted, and estimated climbing times range from a few minutes to a full day for these routes rated 5.0 to 5.10a. But-more important-these routes have been selected for quality of experience, rated on a three-star system.

There is something here for everyone: sandstone pinnacles, alpine granite, and cliffs rising above high desert terrain. There are classic routes like Midway on Castle Rock (Washington's first rock climb and a super-classic 5.6, a great multi-pitch route for intermediate leaders) and routes in two previously unpublished areas, Banks Lake and The Half Moon Crags. Other major climbing areas featured are Leavenworth, Index, Darrington, Tieton, Mount Erie, Exit 38, and Frenchman Coulee.
