I grew up near Confier, so I can relate to your issues. While there is great climbing in the Splat, Boulder, etc. I have found the climbing here to be great (assuming you get the weather window). If you are just into rock, then I would suggest that you stay in Colorado, you will never beat the amount of nice sunny days. If you like to climb a variety of things (ice, alpine, rock, mountains), then I say WA is the place to be. The CO 14ers are just not as interesting as the mountains out here.
