Jens Posted June 22, 2002 Posted June 22, 2002 I unexpectedly found myself with two free hours this morning before my lunch commitment and figured I'd head up to 38 for some bouldering and soloing by the trestle area. I also brought my rope, to hook up with others. At the I-90 off ramp, I noticed somebody had put up a huge poster that humorously degraded the climbing and climbers at exit 38. I will agree that the place is kinda chossy, and has more clips than moves but it also has some pretty cool stuff going for it. It sure beats bullshitting at the Gym, UW rock, or Marymoor. Sure I'd love to be able to head up to index after work or in the morning for an hour. But if you live in places like Renton, Kent, Auburn, North Bend or Issaquah., that can be sort of tricky to do. The traffic on 405, and highway 2 aboslutely blows. You can have your one lap on Godzilla or iron horse that you've done for the 1001th time. I'll take 8 or 9 garbage pitches at 38 over traversing around a practice rock or getting in 1and and half laps in at index. Or throw your mt. boots on and climb- It's a lot like the North Cascades choss. Besides, 38 has even a few climbs that would give Ron Kauk at least a moderate pump. And not all of the climbs have had their first onsight yet. Quote
chucK Posted June 23, 2002 Posted June 23, 2002 Dude, you should just go for the Tooth. It rules. It'd be a scramble for you. A poster huh? That sounds lame . What's their problem? If they don't like Exit 38 they should just go to the Tooth and mind their own business. [ 06-22-2002, 06:12 PM: Message edited by: chucK ] Quote
Dennis_Harmon Posted June 24, 2002 Posted June 24, 2002 Better yet, Jens, just take up the sport of SCUBA diving. It is really fun because you get to breath underwater without drowning and see a lot of fish. Dennis Quote

RURP Posted June 24, 2002 Posted June 24, 2002 This is RURP. What did the poster say? RURP has spoken. Quote
icegirl Posted June 25, 2002 Posted June 25, 2002 Dennis, how long have you been diving? You seem awfully fixated on it. Perhaps this list is not the best place to keep bringing it up. You are acting like a bubble baby who has about just completed your open water one checkout dives a month an a half ago and done 6 dives outside of class 3 at Alki, 3 at the Edmonds underwater park Jetty. I apologize if I am incorrect (and it's 10 dives) but that does not change the fact that this site is about climbing and climbing spray, not diving. One post about diving was more than enough Oh, and to bring this back into the thread of things, what did the sign say? Quote
