The 70sWe climbed here a couple of times after we bailed on Rainier due to bad weather. Leavenworth, the Pinnacles and Icicle Canyon were our plan B.

MidwayAs in midway between a good route and a shitty one. extremely polished and far more popular than it deserves to be.

MidwayEnjoyed climbing Midway on a very hot evening. Great climb for a "rest" day.

Midway To SummitI love the layback crack near the top. Ryan led and I used a grigri device for the first time.

MidwayAndrew led, but I did it! Climbed this about 40 years ago with Seattle Mountaineers. Great day and not crowded.

Fun climbWith a 60m rope, you can reach the top of castle rock in one pitch from the top of Jello Tower.

Fault / CatapultFault was kind of odd feeling. Catapult was awesome! Really great moves. Loved the hand jams in the middle section. The roof-like section at the beginning is amazing! Saved midway for another day. Classic!
