Otter Falls Sport Route
Great entry level five pitch sport climb next to a waterfall!
Deep in the forests of the Cascades lies a slab of immaculate rock above Tipsy Lake. Poppy’s Folly climbs these slabs over five pitches of easy rock, ideal for your first multi-pitch rock climb and for those transitioning from gym climbing to outdoors. After a four mile walk through a lush Cascade forest, the raging waters of the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River always your companion on the walk in, you’ll arrive lakeside, rope up, and climb this enjoyable route.
While the climb promises an unforgettable day trip from Seattle, why not extend your adventure into a two-day escapade? Explore nearby canyoneering options, immersing yourself in the heart of nature’s playground that is the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River. Choose to camp beneath a starlit sky or indulge in the comfort of a cozy bed in the charming town of North Bend. Either way, this adventure will deliver the goods and take you to the next level.

Trip Insurance
We strongly recommend the purchase of travel cancellation insurance to protect you from the unexpected. You aren’t likely to think of it now, but people do get ill, break a bone, have a family emergency or get assigned to a last-minute business trip. If you are in remote areas, please note that emergency rescue & evacuation can be very expensive.
We also strongly urge you to consider rescue and evacuation insurance if your own policy does not provide the coverage needed. Services available may include, but are not limited to, helicopter evacuation, medical care, etc.
If you choose not to purchase insurance, you assume full responsibility for any expenses incurred in the event of a medical emergency and/or evacuation, as well as for trip cancellation, interruption, lost luggage, etc. We are not the experts and therefore ask that you please consult our travel insurance partner directly with any specific questions.

Mountain Madness has partnered with Redpoint Resolutions as our preferred travel insurance provider. Redpoint’s Ripcord Rescue Travel Insurance™ is designed for adventurers.
