Description

During the construction season of 2022 and 2023 this area was either demolished or drastically changed. Climb at your own risk.

Spring Fling has a collection of about half a dozen routes located on road blasts and slaby cliffs. Some of these routes are of decent quality and they have next to no approach and also little protection from the highway noise.

Getting There

Spring Fling is located 4.5 - 4.7 miles from the weight station or mile marker 109.7- 109.9. Park at the trail head to Northwest Passage and walk to the climbs.
