tivoli_mike Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Hey all, I was perusing my Smoot, and came across the chapter for Ramone Rock. Having just started leading in trad, this looks like a decent area to check out ( nice low grades that I could flail up ). So , is it worth checking out ? Thx.

Greg_W Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Is that the rock across the highway from Stevens Pass Ski Area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottP Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 The rock is good, but the routes are really short. It's a fun diversion, but IMO, not worth the drive in itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew_Jones Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 climbed all over it last year and ripped the hell out my fingers. I agree with ScottP - not a destination crag. Stop on your way to 11worth maybe. Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 mike: I am sure you already know, but, there is plenty of eashy stuff on the Great Northern Slab at the lower town wall to practice on, that is were I cut my teeth (and still am) several short pitches 5.0-5.10 and short approach. Have a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCramer Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Mr. W - Your posting privileges are hereby revoked until further notice! I actually had a so-called "partner" cancel on me this am for a Sunday trip to those very crags you mentioned. One word of warning tho - don't go in hot weather!!!!! If I can figure out how to get my SCSI card working I'll scan some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidW Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 almost 20 years ago Chris Greyell and I put up about 15 routes on the group of small granite crags about a mile to the left of Ramone Rock. You can see them directly across the valley from the road near the terminus of what I guess is Skyline Ridge. There are several rocks that have 3-5 75' routes in the 5.7-5.10 range. We spent about 5 days there and called them the Half Moon Crags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jopa Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Has anyone been up to Half Moon Crags? Is it worth the trek? Also, does anyone know which direction the climbs face? I know that the crag is in Dave W's latest guidebook but I don't have a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
