I met Rob Mulligan yesterday and he was spraying to us about squamish grades......in squamish, to locals, lame

good areas near seattle: goldbar, index area, middle earth, tons of undeveloped rock. I don't know about most concentrated. Leavenworth is obviously spread out. Park your car and walk, Squamish, hehe. We should just include it in washington since its so close and sooooo good. The scene in the ham is good. Clayton and Larabee (the beach bouldering) is ok, traverses and some up problems, mostly eliminates. Fun if its a nice day out, but you can only climb eliminates for so long, and by so long I mean not very long. There are 4 or so main developed areas up here, some hard problems, couple of 9's and 10's. Two projects that will be around 10-11 range.

Distel32, thanks for response. Lworth rocks for sure. Sweetwater should be called Sweetboulder. The Forest Service Boulders up the Icicle is pretty rad, needed a lot more development last time I was there (3 years?). Any other areas have a good concentration of problems? Do you know details on any of V-hard boulder problems (loc, FA, rock type)? Blowboarder Icicle has been heavily developed in the last few years, but there is still no shortage of rock. Tumwater is still being developed as well, one main area about .4mi in from the junction. Cole Allen has put up some hard stuff as has Johnny G. Cole has said he has done some problems in the 11ish range. No shortage of projects that could be higher that those though.

I'll be in squam all day, leaving the ham right now. Be sportclimbin and shit in the boulders.

yeah, it was a good read. my favorite part: "yeah its natural.....naturally drilled."

thtas some good shit for sure. motivational tape style, making me want to go pull down in squamish in about.....9 hrs. I'm psyched.

Best developed in 11worth imo. Give goldbar 3-4 years and then we'll talk again. hardest problem is unconfirmed. There are quite a few confirmed 10's, and maybe an eleven or two, but nothing confirmed harder than that.

bwahahahahahzhaha cracked gives in after years of arguing about rock climbing ethics.

I vote 10d, then again I only tred it once, but not 11b. E, did you bring this up because last time we climbed together I said, "hey whats the name of that really over rated crack in the christian brothers?"

there is one near Greenlake, couple blocks from the baskin robbins.

yeah. you get a flapper and you don't climb until you aren't bleeding anymore. Just bad form. I mean if you cut up your knuckle and get a little in a crack, I think thats fine, but if you're getting it all over the place or ganking up every hold on a problem, that is bad for you, bad for the rock, and the people to climb on it in the future as well.

well if you live in seattle, a membership for students is like 320 or so?? I would buy another membership if I still lived here.

the bham garages have nothing on sg

sg4lyfe wish I still had a place like that to train at..... bham needs a solid gym......

don't worry E, I'll tell you about the secret Mod forum

c'mon man I'm young! give me some time to experience all of them for myself

do boulder problems count? There are some I've probably done 50+ times. I did pocket rocket 4 times in like 30mins.

yeah me too! took my last one at 8am this morning. In seattle for a few days then moving back up to the Ham. Will be at stone gardens tonight. You know what I look like, neckbeard, tattoos, black glasses, no muscles, skinny white ass.......

Full TR is needed: liberty caps or cubenzis?
