We're standing in front of a granite crag lying just west of the prominent granite mountain called the Castle. This crag provides many awesome climbs from bolted to crack.

Here's a great shot of the view while climbing on the Castle. Moosedrool and I couldn't help but climb here while we should have been at Frenchmen's Coulee. Sorry guys.

Here's proof that Moosedrool and I did actually make it to Frenchmen's. Though it was after dark and we had to head home early. Sorry again. What a great place to hang. Sorry we didn't get to meet you.

Good start to this little friction route. Comes with it's own bolts. I haven't seen any publications describing this rock yet, but would guess this was 5.7ish. Plenty of 5.10 to 5.11 to be found... Maybe even more.

Mike taking a break near the top of the second pitch of a route on the Southeast face. I'm sure it has an official name, but Moosedrool and I decided on "Up with the sickness"

Shot of Moosedrool sliming up the Peaceful Warrior @ Frenchmen's Couleee, WA. Variable route from 5.60 up the crack to 5.10 on the Arete. Good job Drool!

This is the top of the first pitch of unknown route on the Castle... Second pitch was 5.10 to 5.8, 3rd pitch couldn't climb due to weather. But a later trip showed multiple choices with varying dificulty.

Best I can tell, this Granit is part of a larger Granite mountain called the Castle, just South of Grand Coulee, Washington... I'm no pro but think it's probably 5.10ish.

'nother shot of Moosedrool, Congrat's on his first lead-redpoint! Peacefull Warrior - Sunshine Wall - Frenchmen's Coulee. WA

Smith Rocks near the dihedrals...Lichen It 5.1+ ;-> I think it's 5.7 actually!!! what an awesome day!

Just a great view of the Volcanic tuft we call Smith Rocks. I wish this was my back yard.

I think it looks more like one of the Sleestacks from The Land of the Lost.

Great spots for the hot days when your looking for some shade. What a cool place to hang.

Early morning just prior to acquiring the Ridge...Our first water break.

Cragging around after being turned back from a rotten Route up the Adams Glacier, Mount Adams, WA

High camp on Mount Baker,Spent an entire afternoon working the maze of crevasses to make it go...no luck...had to cruze around the upper portion then followed North Ridge... I realize this isn't rock, but I'm working on those pictures.

Our Mount Baker high camp again...watching the clouds roll in hoping they don't bring weather...

Nice and rotten "honeycomb" ice cliff...last words from my belay..."don't fall" I think he almost blew when we topped out. Great Day!
