Ascent Notes for: Beckey Route - 5.6 popular Average Rating : 4.71/5

this is a great route and is great to learn the descent. We simul climbed it and it took less than an hour.

first multipitch climb

I took the 5.7 hand crack variation mentioned in the Falcon Guide to Wa. After the initial chimney go right 20ft or so to a splitter crack. Follow it 30ft up to a small alcove and belay here. Above the alcove the crack doglegs up and left for 20ft to the lip of the face and emeges just below the roof traverse on the normal route.

finally di dthe classic. straightforward. low fifth class mostly

Simulclimbed in our party of 3 the route in 49 minutes. :)

Get there early before the masses...

Nice, sunny day for the climb. I led pitches 1-3. Both were straightforward, fun, and easy. 3rd pitch was pretty cool, don't clip the fixed pitons, you'll just get bad rope drag. Lot's of placement options.

Awesome day... awesome climb. Stoked this to be my first alpine ascent.

I loved the first 2 pitches. The 3rd pitch is OK but I had some bad rope drag. I have climbed it twice and wouldn't mind doing it a third time!
