Name of area:Spokane Areas
Where:Spokane, of course!
How do I get there from Walla Walla?:Everyone in Walla Walla argues about the best way to go to Spokane. Just get there somehow!
How long of a drive is it? 3-3.5 hours
What's there?:Isolated outcrops of granite, quartzite, basalt, and limestone scattered about the countryside. There are also several steep limestone sport climbing crags (China Bend, etc.) an hour or so north of Spokane. The most famous Spokane area is Minnehaha which is a city park. Depending on the individual area there are sport routes, cracks, and top-ropes. For more detailed info, get a copy of Marty Bland's guidebook to Spokane-area climbing.
Land Ownership: Various
Pros:Convenient, especially if you're in Spokane for some other reason. Most of the rock is reasonably good. Many different rock types in a small area.
Cons: Well-known and easy-access crags are often crowded. Not many moderate sport routes.
Comments:Check out Mountain Gear when you're in the city. It's a great shop.
