Peter_Puget Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Why don't we get a list going of good buildering locations. I'll start off the Boulding wall in Woodlawn Park or the 11c liebacks too PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirp Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 (edited) Kanasket, WA/Green River Semi-Urban, 50-100' leads and Top-rope routes, glueup and carved on concrete pillars on the Green River. 5.10 to 5.12. Access concerns: I havent been here in 7 years but good sources tell me peeps still climb here. You still need to respect BNRR postings, local property owners, and trucks full of rednecks toting guns.

Peter_Puget Posted June 21, 2003 Author Share Posted June 21, 2003 I have been there not so Urban but definately man made. One tip don't go if its cold! When I went there it was freezing despite being sunny. PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWolfe Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 I was bummed when the highway department chopped James' routes on the 520 pillars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWolfe Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 The early exit for North Bend (heading east) has a great wall for bouldering/warm-up. Take a left under the freeway and park. The wall is on the east side support column Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcmurra Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 UW buildering Personal recommendation: along Eastlake north of REI, several of the I-5 support columns feature perfect hand cracks. They are of varying height, from a little tiny one directly across from REI (you could pull the roof, too) to an 80'-er or so by the northbound on-ramp from Mercer. Also, the east entrance to the Bon Marche at Northgate has a great wall for traversing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottP Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 Hands to off-hands on the expansion joints of the pedestrian overpass between UW campus and the Hospital. NBD to bone crunching landings. On a side note, a friend and I got caught by a campus cop while climbing the flaring stem problem to gain the roof of the Humboldt State University theater building one stoned night in 1980. The Ucop let us go after determining we were really rock climbers. It seems he had done the same route some 10 years earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWolfe Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 A buddy and I climbed a sequoia a WWU in '83 wacked on , and got caught mooing like cows 4 stories up (and laughing our asses off). We were ticketed for reckless endangerment - he didn't care if we hurt ourselves, his concern was that we might land on someone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
