Climbing spots

[gregdwulet]

In addition to aviation, one of the other things that I constantly think about and spent lots of time doing is climbing. Rock, ice, mountains, you name it.

Does anyone know of cool climbing areas that are accessible by small plane? I'm currently located in Eastern WA, so I'm thinking Idaho mountains or maybe the Cascades, which are not exactly known for great flying weather.

In case you don't already know about it, there is a site with a browsable map intended to focus on uncharted and unimproved airfields; the kind most likely to be near climbing spots:

Something with STOL capability would probably prove useful in getting close.
