Washington Pass, WA - Lexington Tower, East Face

A late season foray to the pass to finish off one of the routes that had been sitting on my tick list. Sarah joined me for a fun outing and her first serious alpine adventure. For some reason she enjoys the off widths and found it rather comical when I dropped the #5 Camalot, my only BIG piece, during the wide section of the route. However, I was not the only one to have a mishap as we discovered on the summit that Sarah's shoe was swallowed by one of the off widths. Being a good sport she ran down Blue Lake Trail in her climbing shoes.

Almost at the belay - them roofs look big!

Let Toph tackle that wide stuff...
