Not those two. This can be a devastating natural disaster and it’s effects are both near and far. 

Jacob, so close. Accidental use of your answer leads to the real answer.

This classic multipitch has a slightly harder variation through a finger crack if you want to bypass the crowds. After topping out, consider a visit to the refreshing swimming hole nearby.

southwest rib of SEWS- first guess but actually I think your referring to Skywalker in Squamish (based on the swimming hole option)

Got it with Skywalker, Dan!

I would consider Blue Lake a refreshing swimming hole.

Here are three unrelated clues: (EDIT; EDIT)

The name of this BOULDER PROBLEM is also a specific type of medical equipment.

A photo of this climb happens to be featured at a climbing gym in the PNW- In the MEN'S BATHROOM AT CIRCUIT NORTHEAST in Portland.

The FA is known for their ability to climb at an elite level in multiple disciplines of climbing- known for THE SECOND ASCENT OF A FAMOUS YOSEMITE SINGLE PITCH CLIMB, YEARS AFTER THE FIRST ASCENT.

CAT Scan on Morning Glory? Only based off the medical equipment clue.

The Penrose Step...going deep with that one Dan! Although the name refers to an MC Escher-esque visual puzzle, not a Penrose drain (medical device)

This crack climb, at the time it was established, was the hardest first ascent ever made by a female.

While the start is no gimme, you'll want to fully rest up on the recliner before the stout finish.
