Directions:

From Fall City, go to the Snoqualmie Falls tourist Vista. From there, hike down to the base of falls. At the wooden platform (end of trail) decend to the riverbed, and there is a small traverse wall immediately below the platform. Head towards the falls and the main bouldering area is situated on the left and very near the falls.

Notes:

Good quality hard bouldering near waterfalls. Advisable to boulder here when the falls are pretty low, otherwise bring a wet suit. Great sandy landings and very hard problems. Access would appear to be unthreatened, but climbing on the cliffs above is definitely off limits. Problems ranging from about V3 to "futuristic". Rock is generally excellent, though lacking holds.
