The Rock is really similar to Equinox in density and texture as well as features. Some calcified bits (white walls with Blue/Grey streaks. Looks superb.

Word! As a smoker i generally try to police my crap before i leave a sector, but i've probably picked up as many beer cans as butts, and even more tape!

Looks like potential for a whole fartload. From easy to real, real hard Psyched to do work!

Either way this spray about a turd on the trailside of index is kind of ridiculous. Time to go climbing and remember that grades in general are a rough yardstick to measure difficulty. Also it's index, grades don't matter anyway.

Thanks man! I generally work there fri-monday, so it sounds like a miss. But to recap there is no ban, just grumpy locals? Also looks like some fun bouldering around there as well with 1 or 2 potential "harder" problems. Also who can i talk to about developing?

i think if you climb the right side of the arete it's v0, and if you climb the left side v2/3, there are variations as well. Check out the arete just up hill in the corner it's super choice.

Just been working out on lopez island and discovered Watmough bay nand some potential climbing. Someone must know something. Looks uber!

Pocket Rocketv6 soft must see! Low Tide v6 soft Full service v5 soft The Dish v3 Any of the boulders by the river have a number of moderate problem that are enjoyable Really any of the steep juggy v0-v2 problems near the dish in area 51. There's a sick camping spot on the left past the main zone kind of dips off the road and has a nice little wind break in the trees

Does anyone have a recommendation for a digital push button dummy camera that takes decent pictures and holds up to abuse in the mountains? Price range is < $200-250 Thank you.

Its actually in Seattle. Mapquest Stone Gardens.

Okay mabye poison balance isn't sustained overhanging, but the crux is overhanging, pressure drop surely is barely overhanging, perrys is overhanging and arching, and grandaddy, could be on the line as it's under an overhang and does overhang slightly.

Pumpline 11b, leavenworth poison balance 12a, leavenworth perrys lieback 11a,squish Black catbone 11d, index the crack isn't vertical persay but still overhanging Kieths Crack 11c, index, overhangs slightly and then pulls thrua bulge Bravo Jean-marc, Index 11b, Prolly dirty right now Pressure Drop 11b Index Grandaddy Overhang 11c, Nightmare Squish Another Mans car 11c, index havn't done it but looks tittilating highplanes drifter 11+, squish perspective 11a squish

nice work Ben!! lets not forget The Beast project. that thing looks super severe. There are a handful of open projects in leavenworth worth taking a look at, and the thing that Tom bolted across from the snow creek parking lot, the big scooped roof.

Ivan you should make yourself a sign that says "Official Chalk Arbiter" Joseph, perhaps if you dislike buckets of chalk dumped at the base of five gallon buckts or some other warmup you should warmup elsewhere and find some obscure classics rather than strutting your prowess on a heavily trafficked visible route, or for that matter climb some new routes, prolly no chalk there, or yet another suggestion, climb on the non chalked holds.

If you don't like chalk maybe you should start a blog and keep track of your efforts in trying to eradicate the white scourge from the prestine faces of our crags. Or maybe you should get off your little stepladder of non-chalked faux elitism that you cling to. Try being elitist about something else, like the merits of using the carrock bend as a better rappel knot, wearing hand jammies, harnesses, climbing shoes or aid climbing in general. Until you come up with something useful to say i suggest that you shut up and enjoy the f@#$ing sport. my $.02

Equinox crag is the best thing anywhere near bellingham but it takes about as long to get there as is does Index. So maybe Index is the best thing close to bellingham. Also Rosario is a good workout, it's like the pumphouse at Baker but the rock is like 2% better and the average grade is 5.12.

- Rutabaga 11a, the last 15 feet it say are still 11a or b but are quite tricky. - Rear Ender pitch on Freeway 11a, definately a wakeup call first thing in the morning - Milk Run corner, Long Pumpy 10d no stopper moves just heavy breathin'

The utw will probably br dry if it doesn't rain anym ore today and the wind blows. DHLA, wait the first pitch of most everything will most likely be wet. we'll see on sunday

yup, PNW/SWBC strike again killing seemingly from nowhere. Just proud of all the bros in patagonia Jesse, Dylan, Tobey, Dave T.(okay not dave but he puffs tough enough to be from here) Colin. Torre Trverse, Casarotto Pillar, Poincenot ina push , grade VII solo of some damn thing. Just keeps getting better, and theres more to come

Ninja Bedwetter 11+/12a alltime incredible pitch ever Indian Creek 2nd meat wall. Every thing, thin hands, off fingers in a flare and flaring fingers/thinhands face splitter. 140 feet of fun!!!

If you don't tell her your a tool, just so you know i saw the link for this on supertopo

Has anyone navigated the decent on Robbie Reid inrecent memory, also how cost effective is it to fly in.
