[Hide Comment] This climb pictured is not Tears of a Clown or Atkins Diet. These climbs are referred to as the Judith Pond climbs and do not have official names. The actual “Tears of a Clown” and “Atkins Diet” climbs, first climbed by Bill Robins & Paul Certa are down in the coulee closer to Ancient Lake. Mar 26, 2022

[Hide Comment] Unnamed is a lame name. We here in Central WA have decided to rename it Tears of the Coyote. In honor of the spirited trickster who has suffered at the hand of the white man for too long. Dec 30, 2022
