klar404 Posted May 9, 2003 Posted May 9, 2003 Weather? Mo'monism ( or lack of beer)? Climbing? check this thread ..... a thread The climbing is outta site but it might be early..... Quote
Szyjakowski Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 its rad like jtree but alpine-like! i have a guidebook you could borrow.. its old and a photocopy but there is mucho to do in it. let me know if its needed Quote
Charlie Posted May 10, 2003 Author Posted May 10, 2003 I'm flying in may 29- that's not too early is it? My coworker came up to me today and asked if I wanted to go- 10 minutes later I had a flight booked!!! $102- that's less than I would've spent on gas. Quote
Szyjakowski Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 not to sure...only been there twice. first time was springbreak and it was still snowy. second time july and it wasn't snowy at all. its springtime in the mts. be prepared for all conditions. do want book? Quote
Charlie Posted May 10, 2003 Author Posted May 10, 2003 yes- don't mind my babbling- it's been a rough week- ever had an arrogant bastard? I'm having one right now- not bad. We'll have to hook up before I go- maybe I'll take you on the Tavern Tour of lovely West Seattle. Quote
specialed Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 Charlie I think you'll be fine. Generally June in pretty nice there, and often May is too. It will defenitly be climbable unless you get some heinous wind. Have fun dude!! Â Donini's Crack Tribal Boundaries Crack of Doom Funky Bolt ... and many others Quote

Â Whoa, access just opened to that ranch that Access Fund acquired? I heard that the approach was the issue, but some folks had been hiking in the long way and putting some stuff up. Seemed to me like the area in question was maybe 2/3 the size of the City proper? Lots and lots of rock. New route goldrush. The climbing is great at the City, has the flavor of JTree, but as reported, more alpine. That means willows and pines in the draws, prickly pear on top of the ridges with plenty of sagebrush. You'll have a great time, and the timing should be grand. Quote
ctuller Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 You should be fine. There may be snow in the evening, but it'll melt off when the sun comes out, but be prepared for wetness. The climbing is stellar tho, a blast to climb and the new area should be sweet. I've got an old guidebook (circa 1990 or so) but you should be able to pickup an updated one out there. Quote
