Trip: Vail Tree Farm - various

 

Date: 7/6/2013

 

Trip Report:

Went out climbing at a new quasi-secret crag in the Vail Tree Farm in Thurston County. Tall crag, there are some two pitch routes out there. There are also a couple other formations in addition to this one.

I don't think I'm supposed to post directions on the internet, but feel free to PM me if you want more info. These routes could use more traffic and cleaning, but the climbing is really fun, a little similar to exit 38 and not at all like the not too distant Fossil Rock.

Its choss to be sure, but very entertaining, and there are ample new route opportunities for the vigorous landscaper/climber.

This crag is going to face the same access difficulties Fossil will with the new access restrictions and expensive permit Weyerhauser is proposing starting this August 1st. That'll be a damned shame.

Gear Notes:

all clips and solid bolts, thoughtfully placed.

 

Approach Notes:

You gotta park somewhere and go out past the whatchamcallit.
