As a little end of trail treat my dear friend Shawn Murphy came up to meet ABear and I at Hart’s Pass to bring us some end of trail supplies, go climbing, as stretch our last few days on trail out as long as possible.
Shawn and I were planning to climb Prime Rib, a massive multi-pitch sport route outside Mazama, but I haven’t climbed all summer, so it seemed a little too challenging. Instead we ended up doing some easier single-pitch sport at the Sun Rocks. We even brought ABear along, who redpointed a 5.8 in chacos and rappelled for the first time.
We also spent some time in Winthrop, which, along with Mazama and the rest of the Methow Valley, is one of my favorite places on earth. We ate breakfast at the Duckbrand, drank blueberry beer at the Old Schoolhouse Brewery and resupplied at the awesome candy store. A most excellent town stop.
