| jacobsmith | Sport leading  Date Climbed: Feb 17, 2013 | |
| With my main trad climbing partners out of town, me and John headed to Vantage to do some sport climbing. led 7 routes in the Feather and Sunshine Wall and top-roped House of Cards on the way out, basically tripling the amount of sport leading i've done. it was John's first time rock climbing and he did great! | |

| Josh Lewis | One of the Best in Washington Date Climbed: Nov 4, 2012 | |
| This is probably the second coolest crag place in Washington (Index still being my favorite). Even for clouds predicted in the forecast there were lots of people at Vantage. Good thing that there is also lots of climbs. | |

| It´s been so long I´ve forgotten the routes I´ve climbed, but I definitely came here. Woke up to a huge rattlesnake napping outside the tent door. | |

| Vinny | various since 1999 | |
| This is a great place and I wish I made it there more often. The site of my then 2 year old's first route- that staircase at the Feathers. I have witnessed casualties due to loose rock (incl boulderer 25 footer to bust his ankles) even at the benign feathers - helmets everyone! | |

| mcmedved | The Feathers Date Climbed: Sep 11, 2006 | |
| Vantage is a great spot to climb when its rainy elsewhere, with a whole different ambiance. To my Midwestern sensibilities, the rock is bizarre and the formations fantastic. | |

| AJones | Fun Place | |
| I used to climb in Vantage a lot in the early to mid 90's (before the washrooms). It was quite fun, with a nice mix of sport and trad routes. Good early season spot. | |

| baloodh2000 | Great Climbing Date Climbed: Oct 1, 2007 | |
| Been climbing the feathers all season. Next season I think focus will be the sunshine wall. Still getting used to the vertical. Losing my climbing buddy Nick, but Ash and I are still up for some good times! Excellent adventure area. columbia river... | |

| J Fox | Multiple Routes | |
| This was my default climbing destination when I was in grad school from 1997-1999. An awesome place to climb. The basalt columns make for a cool atmosphere and the number and range of climbs available is staggering. I did my first trad lead here on Seven Virgins and a Mule. | |
