Washington is the central plug of an extinct volcano and has notorious poor rock. We will climb the North Ridge from the PCT TH which is close to Big Lake where we'll car camp Friday night. Our route will be pretty easy climbing with the toughest pitches being 5.0-5.3 depending on the pitch we choose. The difficult part of the climb will be the bad rock, not the pitch. We'll be up and down in one day.

Member requirements: Members need rock experience more to make sure we don't kick down rock then the actual difficulty of the pitches. We might just set hand lines but please know how to belay.

Required equipment: Harness, helmet.

Signing up for the climb:

I will open the climb for sign up right away but with everybody on the waiting list. I'll choose the climb team off the waiting list no later 30 days before the climb.

Cancellation policy:

Do not ask to be part of this climb if you might have a scheduling conflict. It seems to be a pattern for Meetup activities for people to sign up as place holders and then cancel in the last minute. If you are one of the people with that habit, this climb is not for you. No cancellations for other then medical emergencies after July 12th.

There will be a mandatory pre climb meeting on July 23rd.
