US Highway 2 has been temporarily closed from Coles Corner to Leavenworth while the USFS works to contain a fire in Tumwater Canyon. The fires and the closure are not adversely affecting Leavenworth Rock Climbing Courses offered by the Northwest Mountain School in the Leavenworth area.
During the road closure we will not be offering climbs in Tumwater Canyon. The main climbs that this takes off the table for us are the routes on Castle Rock, which can easily be substituted with similar routes in the Icicle Creek Canyon.
The latest report on the fire can be found on the USFS website here:
We are open for business as usual and expecting a busy weekend with courses in basic rock climbing, multi-pitch climbs, and rock rescue programs occurring on the weekend of August 20-21, 2011. If interested in details of climbs that can be reached during the fire season, feel free to call the Northwest Mountain School at 509-548-5823 for details.
