Trip Description

Frenchman Coulee, or more commonly known as Vantage, is an enjoyable rock climbing destination in central Washington. Climbing is primarily on basalt columns, many perched on the edge of a large gorge. Its a beautiful spot. There is a mix of sport and trad, but I always focus on the sport side when I head there. 

Late February should have sunny days, but possibly cold and windy nights. 

Drive time is approx 5 hours. Exact dates will depend on the weather forecast, but plan on a somewhat early departure on day 1, and a somewhat late return on day 3.

There is primitive camping at the crag - bathrooms, but no running water. We will stop for a groceries on the drive down. 

Participants should be comfortable top rope belaying. Just to make things easy at the border, would prefer participants be travelling with a passport that won't require a stop at the border.
