Summary
Condorphamine Addiction.
Post-work, Friday night drive up to Wenatchee and a stay in some different shithole motel. Wake up early, grab coffee and make the trailhead just past 6am. An hour long hike up in pleasant conditions and no company. An OK climb (6P, 5.10-; easily links into 3 pitches) but the main goal was to test Benny’s ability to wait for us at the base of a multi-pitch route. He did great until we were back on the ground and pulling our ropes…at which point the barking started just as a another party arrived (sorry – hopefully he’ll improve).

First time waiting for us while we climb a multi-pitch (albeit a tiny one) route (June 2017).
I think this is the pitch 2 top-out (June 2017).

Now rock onto your left foot and reach for the rail (above & left of the bolt).
Almost there…
