Backpacking to a crag
|

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

if you could settle for sport climbing near backpacking I'd suggest Cushman cliffs then heading up the Skok from Staircase. |

'Back-country sport climbing' is pretty much an oxymoron, at least in the PNW. Best option is to go backpacking somewhere there are nice little cliffs you could set a top-rope on. Bring some slings and a wire brush and maybe bag a FA or two! |

If you can get a copy of Darryl Cramer's Sky Valley Rock, look up Holomene (?) Ridge near the end of the book. It might not be a great backpacking destination, but you probably would have the place to yourselves. |

Not sure where you're at, but I'm thinking about "Lil Lover's Leap" in NW CA - mountainproject.com/area/11… |

Not sure where you're located but this route is like 97% a sport route (from what I recall) with all bolted belays. I promise you'll get a full value backpacking experience getting to the bivy at the base of the wall. |
