Enjoyed the fun and moderate Becky Route. Great way to bite your teeth into Cascade rock, I do believe.

Becky Route
Fantastic route and summit. A bit tricky on the approach - following the snow gully straight up, we had to negotiate a 20-foot high, wet rock step that we ended up belaying, which was quite time-consuming. On the way down we realized that there is a fairly easy way around this obstacle. Still, all in all a great day out and tremendous views!

fun climb. very easy. love this part of the cascades. want to do this one again. some of the anchors for repelling were questionable in my opinion

Several Times
Beckey - Twice. Classic
Overexposure - Outstanding 2nd pitch. When you are rapping off this mt, definitely pull your rope and lead up that fun corner!
Rapple Grapple - Kind of fun. 2nd pitch crack was entertaining but then the final pitch was dirty and not-so-safe.

Gotta love Washington Pass
8.24: Despite protests, started late (14.40ish?) to do the Beckey route. Enjoyable, but coming from Cali, almost didn't seem worth it (yes, I know the 1st ascent history) compared to what we were used to- climbing time was comparable to the approach/descent time. Whatever- have had worse approaches, climb was fun, we were in the beautiful North Cascades, and we had the most beautiful sunset I'd experienced in Washington that night. Great climb!
8.27: W/ Faith again. Like an alpine Yosemite big wall in foreign territory. Rock (solid granite) was familiar, but snowfield approach added to the allure (shots from above looked like they were straight out of Alpinist; well, maybe not, but you get the idea). Climb not as hard or sustained as what I was used to in the Valley, but regardless- great climbing, exposure, and views! Due to our less-than-F1 pace, we bivied at the spacious ledge below P8. As a result (despite Faith's f&%$ed-up eye, due to her leaving her contacts in, in spite of my warning that we could very well spend the night somewhere on the wall), we had a comparatively "relaxing" (speaking for myself) day after the main climbing day. Views from the top were grand, descent mild, peaches from generous WA climbers at the parking lot delicious, and beer in Winthrop great. Best climb in the North Cascades (so far, at least)!

Heading there for the 3rd time tomorrow to enjoy the great north Cascades views. I don't think I'll ever get tired of this one.
Got rained off the Liberty Crack so we went up the other side. Great views!

Beckey route and too much time on top
A very fun climb. Even I (not much of a rock climber) thought the finger traverse pretty easy. Spent too much time on the top on a beautiful day, got caught behind others going down, and had to hike out in the dark. The drive home was by far the hardest part!

Beckey Route
With Andy Mac. Fun route (but not as good as north face of Concord Tower).
Lots of fun, climbed Overexposure, a two pitch 5.8 route that climbs up to the rap anchors that drop you into the Liberty-Concord gully.
Also climbed the Becky route, lots of fun, but not as classic as I was lead to believe.
Also climbed Spontneity arete on the neighboring La Petit Cheval, a 5-7 pitch 5.7 with lots of harder variations. By far one of the best routes in the area for its grade, much more interesting climbing and pitch after pitch goodness than the Becky route in my opinion, very highly recommended.

Beckey RouteDid this route over 26 years ago - no crowds back then :-) Only one rap station then and it took two 50m ropes.
