We heard whispers of a new 14 pitch adventure sport/slab climb above the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River. It’s true, but there’s a catch. We wouldn’t have done this if there was anyone above us…

Climbed by Simon Hoke, Po Fines, and Alex Kabatski on September 21st, 2024

Po leads Pitch 1

Shoe tags are required for this route

Alex prepares to overcome agricultural shrubbery

Choss Factory Wall (check out those loose flakes overhanging the route)

Thank you for reading – please let me know if you have any questions about the route!

      Okay so they’re not actually required, but Po just got a new pair of TC Pros delivered the very night before our climb, so he decided to keep the tag on them, and whatd’ya know, it actually survived and stayed on for all 14 pitches of climbing! Hopefully he doesn’t develop a muscle imbalance from one leg being two grams heavier…
