Midnight Lichen Group is a bouldering area in Washington, about 1.2 miles from the town of Reiter. It sits close to two other climbing spots, Midnight Lichen boulder and Tetris Boulder, both about 0.1 mile away, and makes an easy pairing with the Lake Isabel Trail, roughly 0.6 mile off. The climbing here is all bouldering, with two routes on the V4 to V5 scale. Stinkin' Slopers Direct is a V4, and Stinkin' Slopers is a V5. The area is small, so plan on a short session rather than a full day. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Baring weather station show July and August highs around 77°F with only about seven wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the low 40s and frequent snow days. For more time outdoors, the Wallace River offers canoeing about 2.7 miles away, and Wallace Falls State Park Campground is about 3.7 miles off.
