Shirley starting up the Cocaine Connection (May 2004).Shirley & I made our first trip to Leavenworth in early May of 2004. We climbed the 2-pitchCocaine Connection (5.7 nice, mostly easy slab route) and then joined up with the third pitch of R & D route (5.6) following that to the top of Icicle Buttress. A nice day out even if we spent quite a bit of time waiting for the party ahead.
