South Wall

Washington > Okanogan > Chewiliken Cree… > Lower Crag

Description

The south end of the long east face includes some shorted high quality face climbing routes focused around the first large corner. The rock at the southern end of the valley/East Face is noticeably better quality than that further north.

Also includes the shorter (60+') upper south facing wall with the "snake dike" running up it.

Getting There

Best approached from the SW - 20+ minutes (park along the river just south of the orchard, and hike up Chewilikan Creek).
