PSA: Darrington/Three o clock rock access partially blocked

There is a massive deadfall blocking the road 2.5 miles up NF #2060/ frog creek rd. If your car is not very tall it’s possible to pass under but you’re probably rolling the dice to an extent. No chance our high roof van was making it. We considered mountain biking the rest of the way but ended up just bailing…

Yup, this has been the case since the spring/ winter. Normal sized cars are able to fit under, but those high top vans definitely have problems. I've seen a few sprinter type vans turned away.
It's still a pretty long way out to 3 O'Clock / Exfoliation Dome from the log, so plan accordingly.

If the tree collapses/road is surprisingly closed a decent back up plan would be to visit cumberland crags (for mixed climbs) or umbrella rock (for sport climbs)

Alt backup plan, Static Point, I heard Whitelaw wants more people out there.

Or these other [edit no I'm not telling you about that]
