Smokey Leavenworth

I decided to head out to Leavenworth with a big group of people at the last minute over the weekend. I had a good time, checked out a few different crags, and climbed some fun routes. Icicle canyon was eerily quiet because of nearby fires. We saw the flames close up when we were going over Blewett Pass, it was scary how close we got. Throughout the weekend the canyon got more and more smokey, it cast a red hue on everything which was pretty cool. The highlight was climbing Condorphamine Addiction with Tony. Its a 7 pitch bolted 10b, we linked it into 4 pitches and got a crux pitch each, I would highly recommend it.

At the top of Condorphamine Addiction, notice the smoke in the background.
By Sunday it started getting really smokey.
