Routes in Central Cascade Mountains

Tall compressiony hugging up a gorgeous feature.

Continue past the anchor just past the roof of the short version through a difficult crux. Easier climbing follows. It may be possible to aid through the crux on a bolt.

This is the second/bigger left-trending roof from the left side of LTW. After turning the corner of the roof, follow the chimney to an excellent splitter. Most climbers stop at the chains for a 5.10b adventure. Continue through the roof for full value at 5.11b.

Hard undercring start leads to interesting crimping and a committing top.

this route is well protected and will most likely become popular for entry-level climbers at Index.

The route is about 15 feet to the right of Behind the Tombstone. It is a right-facing corner, with a bulge at the top. Climb up and over a detached flake at the base of the route. Step over and onto the wall. Make several face moves until you clip the first of 8 bolts. Go back and forth between using face moves and the right-facing corner. If the move seems hard, look around you might be missing a hidden hold (most are on the left side). Climb up a slab section and move left, over onto the bulge. This is an exposed move, but exciting face climbing with 2 bolts to protect the last moves
