Leavenworth is a tourist town located in central Washington, and on the eastern flank of the Cascade Range. The area offers a variety of sport, traditional, bouldering, crack, and face climbing. The weather here is usually drier compared to other spots in Washington as it sits in a rain-shadow, and it can get rather hot during the summer months. The Karma Crags are a series of outcrops and towers that are located above the pipeline bridge from The Beach parking lot. Look for cairns as you're hiking up into the vegetation. Be cautious of rattlesnakes, ticks, bats, yellow-jackets, and hunters during hunting season. Bring gear that includes thin nuts, a variety of cams, slings, and ropes (50, 60, and 70 meters). Rock type: Granite/diorite and some alluvium.
