Left is a climbing area in Quincy Lakes, Washington, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. It sits among several other climbing areas, with Centre, Clearview Crag and River View Point West Alcove all about 0.1 mile away. The cluster makes for easy linking between different crags, and Riverview Point is about 0.2 mile off. The area has 10 routes, with 9 of them sport climbs and one trad, spread across grades from 5.4 to 5.11b. Some of the named routes include When Angels Dress in Closets Deep at 5.4 and Euphoric Nothingness at 5.11b, both by Leland Windham. The climbing is sport-focused, so trad climbers may find only a single route to work with. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable windows. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Quincy run from highs around 73°F in May to about 78°F in September, with July and August highs near 87°F.
