Description:

12 pitches of exquisite granite on the huge east face of Liberty Bell. Everything except the Lithuanian Lip can be climbed free at up to 5.11C, except the bolt ladder. One of the fifty classic climbs in North America. The Pacific Northwest's most famous wall climb. Don't miss it. on the third pitch instead of hooking a pink tricam fits in the pocket perfectly. Edit by Alpinfox: I think the grade is better presented as IV, 5.10-/C2. Free climbing up to mid 11 pases most of the aid. The aid sections are quite easy for C2.

5 out of 5 stars really good

absolutely classic. We french freed the first pitch, aided pitched 2 and 3 and sat back a couple times later on. The moves onto and off the rotten block are kinda trickey.

It's not 11c.

The grade should be IV, 5.10-/C2. The more free climbing you can do, the faster the route will go, but if you can only free climb 10-, you will be able to do the route.
