Index, WA

Enjoy a day out at one of the top ten crags in America!

Index Town Walls are home to the best steep granite crack climbing anywhere in the NW. The climbing sits just off Highway 2 near the town of Index only an hour away from Seattle.

Index has a reputation for tough, steep climbing. Of the over 600 routes, only a few of them are below 5.10. Some of those few are quite excellent, however, and Index should not be overlooked by climbers of all abilities.

Don’t be intimidated. A fun day out climbing at the 5.8 level with one of our guides is not to be missed. The easy multi-pitch climbing reveals magnificent views of Mt. Index at the base of the North Cascades!

The climbing eason can be nearly year-round, although the dark and wet months of December and January can be rather grim.

Index climbing is great for intermediate climbers looking to learn the art of crack climbing! The courses best suited for this terrain are Rock 201 and traditional lead climbing.
