Summer-Fall is a climbing area in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, within the Snoqualmie Ranger District of Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington. The Forest Service manages the land, and the area sits inside designated wilderness. The climbing here is a mix of traditional and sport routes, with five routes in total. Four are trad and one is sport, and the grades run from 5.4 to 5.9. The South Face is the easiest at 5.4, and The Tooth Fairy is the hardest at 5.9. The Tooth - Chair Traverse and Southwest Face are also trad, and the East Face is a 5.8-. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to climb. Typical averages from the Stampede Pass weather station, about 13 miles away, show July and August highs near 68 to 69°F with only seven or eight wet days a month, while winter brings highs around 32°F and rain on 20 days a month. That station sits roughly 1,600 feet lower than the area, so temperatures up here run cooler. The Tooth lies just 0.1 mile away, and the Melakwa Lake Trail and Kaleetan Peak Climbers Trail are both within a mile. The Snoqualmie Pass Area climbing area is about 1.5 miles off.
