Name that route by description PNW edition (#3)
|
|
A north cascades moderate, not exactly a classic but worth getting on to escape the crowds of a nearby uber-popular route. Despite the name, you probably don't need a headlamp. |

The Cave Route of Concord Tower? |

To visit these bluffs and not try this stout and stellar finger crack would be downright criminal. Though perhaps not as criminal as the Lindbergh kidnapping. |
|
|
...Crime of the Century? |
|
|
Bingo. Extra points for speed! |

This route in a popular climbing area has a mouthful of a name that came from a newspaper headline around the time of the FA. It has a bolted low crux and finishes on easier terrain that could be supplemented with gear. |

900 oil striken water fowl taken to ocean shores! |

You got it Evan! |

Alright, this striking route was first climbed by someone more well known for their contributions to climbing media. However it took a while to see a free ascent, partially due to the approach and partially because it’s just nails. |

Many of you have seen this route from one of the more popular easy alpine rock climbs in the state. Also by coincidence, a certain trad climbing wunderkind was just in town trying this. |

Prayer for a friend |
|
|
That’s the one. |

The developer of this route liked the name so much he used it on another climb. |

In the time it took to read this and the previous sentence, you likely could have climbed it. This was highlighted in a climbing magazine article from before I was born. |

I was gonna guess lizard king before that last hint, but now I dunno. Trevor do you have like 3 mountain project accounts??? Or is someone trolling with princess puppy luvr |
|

it’s kinda a Batman dark knight rises situation. I thought I was the joker, but now I guess there are other jokers. And we all look alike but are not the same person. It’s a route I have never climbed. But resides in index, and bolted by the index slab master himself. In fact the second route is right next to the first. |

Avenging the Goddess Kring |

|
No but the name is even longer than that! |

Brad Driscoll outnumbered his guests, but a good time was had by all? |
