63. Denny Creek Area ~5600' (Snoqualmie Pass)
Directions: Just W of Snoqualmie Pass on N side of I-90. Take Denny Creek Exit. Go N on Denny Creek Trail. The rock-lined ridge above Denny Creek includes Chair Peak and The Tooth.
Notes: On the 400' east face of Chair Peak sits its best rock climbing (death pianos - but good ice climbing). The Tooth's 500' E Face is its longest. Mostly sound rock. Nearby Guye Peak also offers technical rock through intermittent bands via the Improbable Traverse and Kennedy-Crooks Route (II 5.7). Room for more difficult routes on sound rock.
Classics: Chair Peak- E Face 5, Tooth Rock
