ken4ord Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 No I don't have a picture or anything, I just can't remeber the name of that area up along the coast here in WA that has some good seaside or seaview climbing. Mt. something? Where is it? What is the name? And what routes would you reccomend? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChocChick Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 You aren't talking about Mt. Erie, are you? The one with the view of the San Juans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dberdinka Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Mt Erie? A great place! The main wall has zig-zag a mega fun 2-4 pitch 5.7. Lots of sandwiched, bolted 5.8-5.10 pitches put up as variations in the last few years. Also several 5.11 sport routes at the base. The view (particularly at sunset is amazing) N Cascades, puget sound, rainier, olympics san juans all from one perpsective. Lots of eagles can see riding thermals as well. Right outside of Anacortes.

ken4ord Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 Yeah that's it, thanks B and T. I guess I am just a pothead, short term memory loss or something like that. So what routes would you reccomend? where is Mount Erie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distel32 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 there is a super good boulder at erie as well, the Goliath boulder. Problems from left to right: vb, v0, v3, v8/9, v7/8, v10, v5, v5, then some easy variations over a usually swampy landing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrgo Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 You should check out all the climbs in the shady hollow area, Allen Henshaw pre-memorial route 5.6 is fun, the slab on the left, finger licking good 10b? is also fun. If your gonna do zig zag, do the spring board variation 5.7. On the last pitch walk out on the dead snag do one commiting move off the tree and clip a crappy old piton, very fun.

The springboard is not recommended if you are a fattie. It's getting awfully brittle. It has been dead for many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
