The third time must be the charm! I’ve gotten up the route just fine both times before (see last year’s Liberty Crack: Then & Now) but just a couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to guide the climb for North Cascades Mountain Guides with a super strong guest from Pennsylvania and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. We had a great two days out there, fixing lines the first and blasting off the second. We made it car to car in about twelve hours and knocked off a classic: Liberty Crack (V 5.10 C2), 12 pitches, Liberty Bell Spire, Washington Pass, WA. Classic indeed.

A complete photoset of the adventure is up here.

Christopher Wright

My name is Chris Wright and I'm a mountain guide. My short story is that I was born in the UK, grew up in Pennsylvania and live and work year-round as a mountain guide and avalanche educator in Oregon, Alaska, Colorado and points elsewhere. I'm a member of the American Mountain Guides Association, and am a Certified Rock Guide as well as an Alpine Guide Aspirant. I guide mostly technical alpine and rock climbing, with the occasional expedition and ski trip thrown in there. I'm AIARE Level III Certified and instruct AIARE Level I avalanche courses as well.

In the spring I work in Alaska with the Alaska Mountaineering School, in the summer and fall I live in Bend and work for Timberline Mountain Guides, and in the winter you can most likely find me on Orizaba or in Ouray.

At almost all times you can find me with a pack, a rack and a rope pretty close by.

You can check out photos from all of my trips at the Zenfolio link below, and shoot me an email at chris@timberlinemtguides.com if you're interested in putting together a trip to climb in the Oregon Cascades, Washington's North Cascades, Ouray and Silverton ice climbing, or Mexico and Ecuador's volcanos.

I am a Certified Rock Guide with the American Mountain Guides Association. This means that I've achieved the highest possible certification available in the field of rock guiding. Let's go climbing.
