Location: WA : Tieton River : Royal Columns : Orange Sunshine area : Paul Maul (5.10c)

Location: WA : Tieton River : Royal Columns : Orange Sunshine area : Orange Sunshine (5.10b)

The top out feels a bit insecure but protects fine. Removed two lethargic rattlesnakes from the base of the route. They might've been living in the cave to the right of the climb. One of them returned later in the day.

The rock is suspect at times, hollow and fractured, but it gets better the higher you go. We belayed from the Madame G's rap bolts. It's easy to step right and rest in a couple places, doing so makes it seem soft for a 10b, but who cares, it's still a good climb. Arriving at the Le Teton crack this way makes for an elegant pitch.
A climber soloing nearby said that he had climbed the route many times. Maybe... more >>
