bird Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I've got a pretty heavy climbing jones right now. Looking at the Smithcam I noticed that the joint is covered in snow. What are the odds next weekend is gonna be decent enough weather to get some routes in? Also, I've never stayed anywhere but the bivuac area, so what is the cheapest, shittiest hotel/motel in the vicinity? Thanks everyone.

Distel32 Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 c'mon bird, no motels!!! Grasslands has free camping like 10mins from smith. Want to carpool if weather is good this weekend? I can be in seattle by lik 5:45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 I was almost too ashamed to post the question. We are most likely going to camp, unless someone comes up with some sweet hotel beta... Carpooling would be cool, but I was originally planning on taking a half-day off since my borderline unemployed partner has no qualms about leaving early. I'll PM you later in the week and let you know if/when we decide to leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlag Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Looks like the weather will be good by friday/Sat. Partly to mostly sunny with mid temps. Perfect for climbing knobs. Axe the cheap hotel, Redmond has some cheap rooms but there ghetto. I live here and I'd rather camp at the Grasslands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_warfield Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Clean cheap and basic motel in Redmond is The Hub and it's on the north side of town as well. I heard a rumor that some climbers stay there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had enough of Smith in the 40's. Fools don't get a job where they have decent free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layton Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 the joint ain't been covered in snow in over a month and even then it was fine. there is no excuse not to go, period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlag Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I'm looking out the window and it's covered now. Won't last long cuz it's already warming up but it probably snowed 3 inches at Smith today. Wazzu, sorry I missed ya, riding fat powder up at Bachy all weekend.
