Steeple Rock - Wings
5.8, 3 pitches
https://www.summitpost.org/steeple-rock/394209 Doesn’t really sound that neat, only a 200 ft cliff? Not great rock quality either? Apparently it is sport. Maybe bring a single rack and nuts just in case? Approach The road is essentially right below the peak (200 vertical feet below and 0.1 mile away). It looks like you park a little before…
Spire Point - East Face
5.3, 1 pitch
Credit Thanks to https://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8032143 which helped me find the right route documented below! Gear Ropes: Two 30m’s or one 60m The 2 rappels are just under 30m When climbing, the second pitch is technically ~38m since it traverses more than the rappel (our 35m rope came up short and the belayer had to walk forward…
Junior's Farm
5.8+, 8 pitches
A true hidden gym, this 8 pitch sport route is well bolted (usually every 7 feet), on fun rock, has some good views, and is only a 5 minute walk from the car! Pitch ratings are our best guess after climbing the route. Gear 12 quickdraws, including 3 single alpines is all you need! Include…
Salami Slabs - Snagglepuss
5.8+, 7 pitches
Overall: 3/4 stars Approach: 3/4 stars. Pretty good! At a very slow pace, it took us 50 mins including wrong turn, and on the way down we found the better trail that does NOT go through the rocky gully with the devil’s club! Climbing: 3/4 stars. Slab, slab, and more slab. But kinda fun! Basically…
Devils Peak - Standard Route
Class 4
Info on SummitPost: https://www.summitpost.org/devils-peak/799734 Drive Deer Creek Road just over one mile to a closed logging spur (elevation 1968′). Walk this road approximately two miles until reaching the third switchback (variations are possible – read agreenstreet’s page on Devils Thumb for an excellent route description and map). The road is not in great shape, but…
Bacon Peak - From East
Class 2
Steph’s description: http://www.stephabegg.com/home/tripreports/washington/northcascades/bacon A lovely snowy high camp, no trailhead!
Icy Peak - Icy Peak via Ruth Mountain
Class 4
This is a fun/great peak for two reasons or more. One is the moderate climbing required to summit. Two is that this is still a North Cascade Peak not climbed by hordes of people giving you some remoteness without bushwhacking or spending days getting to the peak. Some reports are from climbers doing the Ruth…
Nooksack Tower - Beckey-Schmidtke
5.4, 6 pitches
A glacier approach leads to a 50+ degree, 800-foot (240m) snow & ice gully, then to another 800 feet of rock climbing, ranging from class 3 to perhaps 5.4. Objective hazards include crevasses, a bergschrund, steep snow/ice, avalanches, and steep, loose rock. While a fast party can do it in a weekend, our threesome took…
