Frenchman's Coulee, WA

Miranda went climbing with new friends Kathy, Parker and Marissa last Saturday. We had an awesome time. Parker has a fancy camera, and more importantly, knows how to use it. Frenchman's Coulee is in the middle of WA, about 3 hours away. It actually rained lightly on us for about an hour, but you can't tell in the pics. Thankfully, the wall stayed dry.

I was so intent on the climb that I never noticed the skull grafiti until I saw the pictures.

5.8 warm-up

This climb was a little reachy and delicate- I'm pretty proud of this lead.

The sun finally came out at the end of the day!
