Guest Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 the post was about renton granite. there are three climbs, all of which were in a semi-established state when i stumbled on to them. its not much but there is room for more and the close proximity to where many live makes it an excellent after work lap area. brief directions are: exit 405 at maple valley enumclaw exit, drive m.v. highway a few miles, then right on 140th. make a left into fairwood greens entrance, another left before the downhill to f.w. elementary. walk to end of ball field, jump fence and decend easy trail. traverse climbers right and you will be right under a nice 5.9 crack, can't miss it and the walk, not worthy to be called approach, is super casual.hope someone else scopes it and has as much fun as i do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordonb Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 So on that Renton Granite, how easy is it to thow a top rope on that? It sounds close enough to me that we should at least give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 gordo, its like gold if you live nearby, and although the routes are best led on gear you could easily set up a tr off one of the many trees. i encourage you to hit it up and rip it up.

dyno_merchant Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 When I lived in Utah, I knew of a crag that was similar to the fabled Mill Creek...unknown to about everyone, no guide, few routes but great potential, occasionally a pic would hit the mags and I'd hold my breath hoping the caption didn't give it away. Basically a few hardcore from SLC were the only ones in the know beyond the five or six climbers in my town (of 300) which was as close to "local" for this crag as you get. I;ve seen at least five or six photos of this area in the mags always caption simply "southern Utah". I've told a total of 4 people about this place, 2 boulderers and 2 trad climbers, all good friends and partners. I doubt it would be an issue even if people knew where it was because it's remote, I'm not giving up the stash and it's bomber granite in the high desert. More of an issue is the fact that there is a rad boulder field at the base of the wall. Yes, as an American it's your land too, but so what, you go find it. been there.

willstrickland Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Have you now? Why don't you PM me and we'll see if it's the same area we're talking about...I know of more than one that meet the description I wrote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordonb Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 I might give the Renton Granite a try this weekend. I don't have any gear besides rope and quickdraws, I havn't been climbing that long and I can only acquire gear (and the knowledge to use it) so fast. So there are accessable anchors at the top where I could sling some webbing to run a TR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 p.m. is the preferred way to handle these sorts of disputes, afterall you contacted us first and you've taken that quote completely out of context. don't ruin a fine topic with your filthy spray and words of deceit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordonb Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 I didn't get up there. My Mother-in-law grabbed my wife for a shopping trip so I would have been without belay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
