    What a place to start our trip! Average time to climb: 5 days. Long, sustained and flawless, the Nose may be the best rock climb in the world; it is certainly the best known. On paper, at 5.9 C1, The Nose sounds easy. It’s not. With over 31 pitches of steep, exposed and strenuous climbing, The Nose is an immense physical and psychological drain. Extensive climbing experience on long routes is mandatory. The failure rate is high. That said, anyone who is deeply committed to training for this climb can do it.

      Smith Rock is a the sport climbing Mecca for the NW US! Over 1,000 routes, mostly bolted sport climbs, some Aid, and many good traditional climbs. This place is home to some of the hardest routes on earth, yet still offers challenges to climbers of all abilities. Suggested by: ADVStephanie

        On the eastern side of Washington State’s Cascade Mountains, Chelan provides a combination of mountain and flat-land flying. The area is known for its strong thermals and the potential for long cross-country flights. Mid-July is considered prime thermal cross-country flying season in Chelan. Paraglider and handglider pilots flying in Chelan often reach altitudes above 3,600 meters (11,811 feet). Many roads provide easy retrieval. Suggested by: Dfillipp

          The cliffs and crags surrounding the town of Index have long offered some of the best granite climbing in Washington. The Lower Town Wall is the gem of the area and has been touted as one of the best climbing crags in the United States. Several years ago the British climbing magazine Mountain declared it one of the top 10 crags in North America and it remains a vibrant hub for local and visiting climbers. The climbing is diverse in both difficulty and style and there is truly something for every rock climber at the Lower Town Wall and its satellite cliffs. This is the only year round granite climbing in the State. Suggested by: Mike Fortney

            Squamish is probably the best known rock climbing area in Canada. Climbers first began climbing here in the late 50’s and early 60’s, drawn by the huge granite faces of the Stawamus Chief. Squamish has something to everyone, with well over 1500 routes from casual beginner climbs to 5.14 test pieces, and plenty of potential for new development. The rock is exclusively granitic - most of excellent quality - though it ranges widely in texture.

              With no through trail between Montana and Idaho, the closed-end Sheafman Canyon is home to several (officially) unnamed and seldom-visited highpoints. But the summit which attracts the most attention by far is Castle Crag. A well-known Bitterroot Landmark, Castle Crag is easily recognizable from many places in the valley. But because it is such a long way from the trailhead, 7 miles, few climbers are willing to make the lengthy trek. Suggested by: Jo Swartz

                    The rocks of Suesca are considered the birthplace of Colombian rock climbing, and feature hundreds of routes on excellent quality sandstone up to several pitches in length, with a majority of routes being one pitch. The area is best known for traditional climbing, but there are many sport (bolted) routes as well. Suggested by: MotoNomadas
