Hi guys - I'm coming down from Squamish for a few days next week and I'm a little overwhelmed by the amount of crags in the Leavenworth area. Just wondering if you could give me some suggestions of must-do routes in the 5.10/11- range. Ideally I'd like to get on some longer routes that don't have huge approaches. Thanks in advance!

Hyperspace on snow creek wall or suck it up and hike into colchuck balanced rock, acid baby, or Prusik peak.

I don't really climb at that level, but my partners that do talk about these two:

I'd also second the suggestion to go to colchuck balanced rock or do acid baby. Prusik has a 10-mile one way approach and you can't camp without a permit so that would be a long day.

Other suggestion would be to make the hike up to pearly gates, quality rock and climbing up there.

Get the book and expect to get lost unless you're going to Castle or Snow Creek Wall.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
