Description Suggest change

Moscow Mountain offers some great opportunities to beginner climbers. Most routes here are less than 5.7, all require gear, and new routes will need a lot of cleaning. If you live on the Palouse and want to get into trad climbing, this is a surprisingly good spot to learn.

Getting There Suggest change

CAUTION! Moscow Mountain Rd is very washed out once you get off of Tamarack Rd. So be prepared.
