LaCamas Pinnacle (aka Camas Plug)

A rather minor outcrop of rock in outer suburbia northeast of Camas, Washington. Though partially developed, once it is well refined it may yield about 12 routes ranging from 5.5 to 5.11- (see diagram) for 360° around the plug, the shortest being 15’ and the longest about 40’ tall.

Road access conditions: Good paved roads exist to Livingstone Mtn (or Bear Prairie) and then maintained rough gravel roads to the site (with quality sidewall tires you could drive much faster, though I've not heard of too many persons itching to go there).
