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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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