Summary
Canary.
Happy to witness friends’ first time out climbing. Started with some nice moderate cracks on Mounties Dome and when those proved more than doable (& since the enthusiasm was high), moved on to Canary on Castle Dome in the afternoon. Sunday was spent doing slabby moderates above Icicle Creek Road . A great fun outing with first rate company in the not-so-hot Leavenworth . Is all.
PS:
Mountaineers Dome: Left Crack (5.6) and Roof Crack (5.9). Playground Point: Baby Steps (5.4), Birthday Boy (5.7), an unknown 5.6 and unknown 5.8.
