Castle Rock Climbing Leavenworth Day 2

I was lucky enough to catch Super Dave Morales during one of his morning workouts on Castle Rock. His hour long tour consisted of Smut to Brass Balls then a traverse to Catapult which he down climbed. Then he re-climbed Catapult with a finish on The Bone. He just added the upside down foot cam bat hang to his routine. After Lower Castle was finished he cruised Scary Canary and finished via a down climb of Saber. After that it was down the trail where Dave traded in the rock shoes for a kayak paddle and shredded the Wenatchee River Via the Tumwater Canyon. Thanks for the tour on the rock and the river Dave!

Wenatchee River Rafting

The Wenatchee River offers up class 3-4 rapids one after another for those seeking high adventure. It also serves up the standard rafting trip with class 2-3 for those with a milder taste to their adventure. The Wenatchee also offers up a scenic family float that anyone can enjoy. It's an amazing river in a spectacular setting and has something for everyone. Here are a few images of the high adventure rafting the lower end of Tumwater Canyon.

Leavenworth Mountain Biking

Recently I was lucky enough to spend a day on the mountain bike with local shredder Rex Flake of Trail Washington. He showed me around some of his favorite Mt. Bike terrain that is located high above Leavenworth. I am not much of a mountain biker so it was a rare treat for me to see this beautiful country side.The topography was filled with rolling hills, cliffs, steeps, gap jumps and technical rock slabs. I had a hard time walking my bike around some of these crazy features.

Rex didn't roll around every jump like I did he took all the jumps with speed and style. I was happy to stand on the ground and take pictures of him doing what he enjoys! Thanks for showing me this gorgeous hillside Rex!
