Access
(private land on river side): boulders from Millennium Traverse to Cool Whip on the river side of Icicle Road — Beautification, WAS, Penrose Step, Heads Will Roll, Cotton Pony, Turbulence — are on private property. The landowner has requested no night climbing, no music, and quiet respectful behaviour. Comply or the access closes.

About Straightaway Boulders

Straightaway Boulders sits along the eponymous straightaway of Icicle Road, a hundred metres past the Forestland parking area near Leavenworth. The zone holds elite-grade bouldering on high-quality Icicle granite, including the world-class problems WAS (V8), Cotton Pony (V10), and the modern testpiece Penrose Step (V14). The east-of-crest rain-shadow climate keeps drying times short — May through October is prime.
