chucK Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 Hey! A while back someone asked for general Seattle crag beta. I thought about it, and figured that the only currently available overviews that I know about are Smoot's book, and one on Alex's webpage. So....I got to workin' The new totally biased from my perspective, possibly informative to the area visitor, possibly entertaining to the local cragster Seattle Area Crag Overview is now available online. Look at it if you dare. If you got some good beta for one of these areas in the vein of the presentation and you think people ought to know it, contact me and we can discuss putting it on the page. In ref to the other recent webpage thread, I've liberally used other people's pictures in this crag overview. I have attempted to credit all, and furnish links to where I found the picture. The pics are linked to, not copied and presented. If you find a picture in here that is yours and you don't like it. Please let me know. There are some pics from CC.com linked. Scot-teryx's site, Klar's site, MVS's site, Smoot's site, Colt45's site, DBB's site, GregM's site and probably more that I am forgetting about at the moment. Quote
slothrop Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 Nice job, chuck. Is that horrible picture on the Vantage page designed to make people never want to go there? You can't read anything on the page with that image behind it! Quote
klar404 Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 Looking good Chuck! You have been spending way too much time in front of the monitor!Now if I could only figure out where the Zipper lost it's letter grade......Keep up the work and link away! Quote
JoshK Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 Why exactly do you refer to squamish and smith as washington climbing areas!? Squamish is in canadia and smiff is in oregon. Quote
Dru Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 Fraser Valley rox is closer to Seattle than Squampton if you like single pitchy stuff Steve is climbing some 10d one move wonder arete here (that I couldnt do the move on lead & backed down ) Quote
slothrop Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 No climbing area is complete without grafitti. Where is this place, Dru? Quote
slothrop Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 But there are cougars on the rocks in Fraser Valley! Quote
chucK Posted June 3, 2003 Author Posted June 3, 2003 Thank you all for your kind comments. Dru, if you're serious, write up a little sumpin about that Fraser Rox place (I've never been there) and I'll put it on there. Klar, sorry about the sandbag, I fix it, maybe. Sloppy, I thought my Vantage page was truly inspirational on a visual level . JoshK said: Squamish is in canadia and smiff is in oregon. Where exactly are these canadia and smiff places? Quote
ScottP Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 directions: From the 2nd floor of the parking garage at the REI FLAGSHIP STORE head down the garage following the arrows pointing to EXIT, except at the spot where it says to turn right but the EXIT is actually right there on the left. Just blow off that sign and go left. Then fight your way onto the street right, then right again then right again and get in the middle lane... Quote
