| Summary | Chimney Rocks | Backcountry setting, rough old closed gravel road to reach the site, some new regrowth of spruce and fir trees (Yacolt forest fire burnt this region thoroughly in the 1930s and it is only gradually rebuilding a soil base sufficient for trees). A long 2.5 mile uphill hike on gated roads managed by a local timer company. | A ridge-top wind-swept set of prominent spires with rock climbing opportunities on all sides of the main spire. A minor north-facing shorter bluff offers some additional climbing. | Primary paved roads leaving Washougal, WA, then secondary paved road, and then several miles of maintained gravel roads to the parking spot next to a steel gate. | From the gate its a 2.5 mile uphill hike to reach the site, which is perched on a open sunny ridge crest. | Basic to intermediate. | It's a set of tall rock spires. The main pinnacle is 80' on its east aspect, but nearly 250' on its west aspect. The remaining pinnacles are somewhat shorter. A short north-facing bluff next to the main pinnacle offers additional climbing. | Intrusive (plutonic) Aplite mantled diorite. Very dense rock, but has some infrequent pebbles or loose stones on less traveled lines. These rock pinnacles are a quality enjoyable experience for those who like to hike to their climbing destination. | 3400' elevation. |
| Details | Usually from June through October, though its best to avoid on windy days. | Generally mixed traditional gear leads with some fixed gear. A few routes are sport climbs. | Single pitch (40-100') routes. Some longer routes up to 200' but these can be done in a single very long lead. | A rack of gear from stoppers to cams (up to 4”). Pitons may be helpful on some routes. | Approximately 20 routes with room for future potential. | A helmet is advisory. | Can be cold and uncomfortable on windy days. | Located on the boundary of Forest Service and privately owned land. The gated gravel road is owned by a regional timber company. | PRC-NWOR |

About 45 minutes drive from Washougal, Washington. | A minor plug of rock formation with 360° opportunities for rock climbing. Presently AM-PM sunshine, though as the new fir forest regrows around the plug it will eventually become enveloped in trees again. | Well-graded gravel roads to the site. | A 2-minute uphill jaunt to the plug. | Basic to intermediate. | About 20' on the uphill side, and about 40' on the taller west side. Vertical in spots and less than vertical on the easier routes. | A peripheral outcrop remnant of the basaltic / dioritic stock composition on the southern slopes of Larch Mtn. | 2900' elevation. |
