I got back to Seattle from Colorado on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon I headed out to Leavenworth on the east side of the Cascades. I think this place might be some of my favorite granite I have climbed on. Boyko and I headed to the Beach first with the intention of me doing Goicoechea (V10) while I was fresh as to not have to return later to finish it off. Things worked out and I was able to send in a few hours. Next we went to Mad Meadows we I was able to do The Sail (V9) and then worked The Hueco Project and The Ram to no avail. At Mad Meadows we ran into a crew from Portland including Adam and Kendra. We camped with them and the next day went to Forrestland where I saw many of the classic climbs I have heard about. Worked this V10 for a while but could get all the moves and then Boyko ran up this highball V6 with a hard topout. Next we sessioned The Coffee Cup (V11) and The Practitioner (V12). Good progress was made on the Coffee Cup and I feel like it could go with some more work. We finished off the day with a little work on this classic unnammed V8/9 but my tips were shot so we headed back to Seattle.
