Routes in Washington for selected grade

sit down start

Iffy rock quality, variation of normal West route.

Probably free climbable(?)

freeclimb possible?

An aesthetic alternative to the standard gully used to reach the summit. On a clear day you have uninterrupted views of Mt Baker through to Rainier. The rock is bomber and the location incredible.

Gain the ridge at the obvious notch. Solo for as long as your whole party feels comfortable and then rope up to protect the upper pitches. Can be done in 1-8 Pitches depending on your methods. Some scrambling between belay platforms helps to reduce rope drag and the number of pitches required.

Rappel the gulley to skiers right of the ridge. This is the standard climb and is often solo'd at class 4 so be wary of sending loose rocks down. Twin 30m ropes are fine.

Plenty of natural pro, BD #0.5 to #2 to zipper it up. Glacier gear for the approach via Fisher Chimneys (III) or Sulphide glacier (II).

Car to car in a day is possible if you are unable to get a camping pass. However, be wary of down climbing the Chimney's at night.

This is an absolute classic in the region!

The left-most climb at Write-Off is sometimes called “The Tree Route” due to the now dead tree that used to be slung for protection. These days, your only option is to solo to the fixed carabiners at the top.

PG 13 due to the runout to the second bolt. However it is possible to place a small cam between if you choose.

Climb the cool little chimney next to "me too"
