Constellation of wilderness
granite domes nestled deep in the WA jungle. Mostly multipitch
bolted slabs and face, with the occasional crack. Two hour drive
from Seattle, with 1/2 to 1 hour approaches. West of the crest and
directly East of the Straights, so if it's gonna be wet anywhere...

High on Dreamer (5.9) from Michael
Stanton's page
directions:
  From the 2nd floor of the parking garage at
the REI FLAGSHIP STORE head
down the garage following the arrows pointing to EXIT, except at the spot
where it says to turn right but the EXIT is actually right there on the
left. Just blow off that sign and go left. Then fight your way onto the
street right, then right again then right again and get in the middle lane.
Go straight through the intersection and make an illegal hard left onto
the Express Lanes entrance I-5 North. Oh, only don't do this if the express
lanes are closed (as that means the express lanes are going the other way,
in which case this would be an express lanes exit! and you might kill yourself and others).
Anyway...once you are on I-5 North, drive to Arlington. Take hwy 530 (exit 208) to Darrington.
Turn right on the Mtn. Loop Highway. Soon after the road turns to dirt,
turn right on Clear Creek Road (#2060, just past Clear Creek Campground).
See area map, and Perkins'
site for diro's to specific crags.
