• Lets call it “Multi Pitch day on goat wall”. That explains it ok, I think.
• But first things first. After a late arrival on day 6 we put up camp on some USFS campground, our base for the next days. In close driving distance are several nice rocks and the famous western theme town of winthrop.

• Back to climbing:

The Goat Wall

myself climbing up

• For the guys interested in details, the route was “prime rib”. It's a 5.9 and there was one difficult bit I had to try twice but otherwise it was a rather easy climb. But we didn't manage the whole 11 pitches, we had to turn back somewhere in the middle.

• Some tourist pointers.. we were in “Mazama Valley” a secluded part of the Cascade Range east of Bellingham. A cool spot if you want to avoid crowds.

• The luck we've had with the weather so far was changing. In short the usual west coast weather took over and it started to rain.

• We spent some time at “fun wall” building anchors. When the weather didn't improve we went to <townIforgot> and did skill training in some City Park Pavillion thingy.
