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.

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.

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.
