Leavenworth, WA - Iconoclast

Having not completely finished this route and coming up short on partners I checked out the climbing board to see who might be free. Net result was James and I meeting up with a poster for a run at Icconoclast on Snow Creek Wall. Unfortunately on the approach I snapped a branch off of a fallen log while stepping over, sprained my thumb and put a hole in my leg that kept pumping blood. It took a while for the blood to finally stop but the sprain didn't go away so easily. I led a couple of pitches and swung leads with Charles. The 4th and 5th pitches were spectacular if not challenging with a semi-useless appendage. Its all good beta for the Hyperspace run coming in the near future.

The notorious hard corner pitch 3, tricky small gear and a bit dirty


Pitch 4 belay duty

Also mossy but a sweet traverse begins here and eventually leads to...


..this chicken-head covered face!

Time to go babes these guys are too dehydrated.
