alright well I'm heading to the crags this sunday. my driver doesn't want to go too far, so i have the choice of three different places: 1) exit 32 2) exit 38 3) fossil rock never been to fossil rock, and i've only been to x32 and x38 very little. i've got some beginner climbers with me, so there needs to be a lot of easier climbs (about 5.10b at the most). every opinion helps. please, help me out here! thanks! -james

haha you guys misunderstood me. i climb with older people all the time. i would just like to climb with somebody a little closer in age to me. if i didn't like older people, i would never get a chance to climb, because everyone i climb with is at least 25.

yeah, it seems like most people on this site are umm...lets just say....a little more "ripe". it would be nice to find someone closer to my age (almost 16). there's gotta be somebody. anyone? yeah well PM me if you wanna hook up sometime. i'm in bremerton.

yeah i heard from a friend that it had been developed a lot in the past few years and there are quite a few bolted lines there. he didnt have any real beta though. anyone else have any info?

i hear rumors of a sport crag near the elwah river damn. any info/beta/online guides/directions? anything will be helpful.

Well, i can give you guys the real cause. In the July edition of Rock and Ice there was a very informative short article on it. The man and his partner had a 200 foot rope, with no middle mark on it. They dealt out half of the rope down the cliff, so that it was touching the ground. They figured they could just throw the other half of the rope down and it would be the right length. It was a very windy day at the coulee, and what they didn't notice was that the wind had actually pulled more of the rope through the chains, leaving just 12 feet at one end. The man began his rappel, but the rope quickly shot through his rappel device. He grabbed the end of the rope before it got out of reach, but slipped within seconds. Great apologies to you, and kudos to those who tried to help him.

that is truly awesone. one of the best TRs i've read in a while. Those climbs

i dont know what forcast you're looking at, but all the other ones are calling for a 50-60% chance of thunderstorms there on saturday.

mostly just sport routes and boulders

yeah, i'm up for smiff if you'll drive...you got any problems with taking a 15-year-old? pm me please

where are you leaving from? if you go on saturday, i'm in! shoot me a pm.

I'm open for weekend sport climbing until the middle of june. From then on I'm free during the week, too. I have all my own gear, and experience. I live in the bremerton area, and can take the ferry over to seattle, too. I'm comfortable leading about a 5.9 or 10, but I'll do harder stuff also. pm me or post a reply if interested. p.s. I'm also available for memorial day weekend...lets go!!!

its gonna be super crowded memorial day weekend...you're better off calling in sick for a few days during the week, but if you want, I'll be free. shoot me a pm if you're intersted.

check ur pm's, man

Anyone know of any good crags near Bremerton? I dont have much time to get around, so they have to be within about a half hour's drive. I know there's little secret spots around here somewhere, I just don't know exactly where. pm or post reply please.

so, are you thinking only alpine, or some rock, too? cuz im up for both, but im more of a rock climber.... but gettin some turns in would be awesome too....if there's anything left to make them on. ok, well pm me if that sounds good. james
