Trip: Sweet Renton Granite -  
  
Date: 1/19/2008 
  
Trip Report: 
  
At Alex’s suggestion, he, Rafael, and I headed for Issaquah for some Sweet Renton drytooling.  The three 30 meter routes actually turned out to be really fun.   The crag is a 3 minute walk south of the Cougar Mt. trailhead on SR900, just S of Issaquah.  
  
In any case, mid winter TRs are few and far between, so this is whatcha get.
