Intermediate Rock Climb - Liberty Bell/Southwest Face

The Liberty Bell Beckey Route is a classic route. It's a great trip for anyone from competent first-year trad climbers who felt solid on their multipitch routes as a part of the class to folks who've been climbing for years and just want to have some fun. This trip is open to anyone who wants to join, although I do want to keep the group small to avoid crowding.

For first-year trad climbers who have done the Leavenworth multipitches and are considering whether they are ready for this route, I personally find the Beckey Route to be a little bit harder than R&D and easier than Saber or Midway. Since it's a popular route, we should have a group that is relatively dialed and smooth on belay transitions so we don't waste too much time and cause traffic jams. First-year trad climbers should do a couple other multi-pitch climbs before this, like rope leading some basic climbs. 

Very early at the Blue Lake trailhead, probably 6 AM https://maps.app.goo.gl/FbXW8TsbfdH79Td7A 

Everyone should plan to sleep nearby the night before, at one of the campgrounds or in a car at a trailhead.
