Pearly Gapes

[Dru]

I thought this would be a good topic name. Lets see some flamage about gapers and bumblies swarming over your secret crags. Personall yI feel there is no such thing as a secret crag. If you can find it everyone else can too. You gotta be dumb to wait for published info to find out about a cool area. Word of mouth is 100X faster.

"Viktor Kramar and Dave Bale have developed a new crag in the Icicle Creek Canyon. Dubbed "Pearly Gates," this crag features mostly crack routes in the 5.6-5.11+ range, many around 5.9, with good anchors. At Viktor's invitation, several other climbers have visited, cleaning up the crag and adding additional routes. The rock is white granite reminiscent of Donner Summit, said to be some of the best rock in the Icicle. To get there, hike up Snow Creek Trail to the first switchback, where a faint climbers' trail leads across the creek and follows cairns up the hill to the crag; about 30 minutes to approach. For information about particular routes, click here." (08/08/01)

 

Plenty of info to associate yourself with the area.

The rock sux too. Much better at Smith Rox or Vantage or North Bend. I hear the gyms are even cooler
