Pitchoff Chimney Cliff is an impressive rock face very close to Highway 73 near the top of Cascade Pass, overlooking Lower Cascade Lake. The cliff is named for an interesting chimney feature on the right end that actually separates a good portion of the cliff from the mountain behind it such that the rock face is almost a free-standing feature. The high elevation and cool breezes of the pass, combined with easy access, make this a very popular summer destination. The good rock (not the regional standard anorthosite) features several moderate to difficult, excellent crack and face routes in addition to the historic Chimney route. There is also a "Practice Wall" below the main cliff where there are several easy routes suitable for toproping. Parking is limited to the pullouts along the highway
