Chair Peak - Voie de Chaise 8p 5.9-

Voie de Chaise—loosely translated as Route of the Chair—is a modern alpine rock classic on the East Face of Chair Peak at Snoqualmie Pass. Rising directly above the Alpental Valley and easily visible from the Alpental parking lot, this striking line offers some of the best accessible alpine rock climbing near Seattle. The route combines excellent climbing, spectacular views, and a true Cascade alpine feel with a relatively short approach, making it an outstanding objective for climbers looking to experience multi-pitch alpine climbing in Washington.

With a few short sections of 5.8 and a single 5.9- pitch, most of Voie de Chaise is 5.7 and below, allowing climbers to move efficiently through varied mountain terrain. The climbing is engaging, the position on Chair Peak is spectacular, and the route feels remarkably adventurous considering its proximity to the Snoqualmie Pass trailhead. For climbers looking to develop alpine climbing skills, experience a longer multi-pitch route, or simply enjoy a classic day of guided climbing in the Cascade Mountains, Voie de Chaise is one of the most memorable alpine rock routes at Snoqualmie Pass.
