Do you know what that thing is rated? Please, no V grade, like I said I am not really a boulderer. Thanks, Probably 5.11 something (hard to transfer Vscale to 5th class and get exact grade) Get on it! By the way...I haven't been down there recently, is the wall dry? Bring a pad or two. dm Quote

Actually I thought his routes at the Pumphouse and Pee-Wee's Playhouse were right on. It was a couple of climbs at Oyster Dome I thought were off on their grades. So WTF is up with "your just weak. Do some pullups." quote?! Nice grammer too might I add. Until you meet somebody it is best advised to you to shut up and keep your opinions to yourself. And don't worry, I'll keep myself away from your "precious" Chuckanut shitstone relax...isn't climbing supposed to be fun! Come on up and I'll show you some rad new stuff and I won't sandbag you. Chuckanut rock is "shitstone" but it's all we got. Quote

OX Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 I know I'm bringing this thread back from the dead, but it needs to be said again. B'ham bouldering rocks your dome. Don't belive me? Come on out and see! I'll show you around personally. Just take a look if you want. No commitment required. You can keep on driving to Squish if you don't like it, but I think you will. Just stock up on your strong juice, make sure your tips are hard, and do a few crunches the week before, you will need it! See you when you get here... Quote
Dru Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Hmm, a chosspile or Squamish. Big hard choice Quote
payaso Posted August 28, 2002 Posted August 28, 2002 Yonder Mountain String Band in Bham on Friday! Yeehaw! Quote

The stuff in bellingham is super good. It, obviously, isn't as extensive as Squamish but you will be very pleasantly suprised if you get a tour from someone and get to see and climb on alot of the newer stuff and even some of the old classics. Or you could go to Squamish all the time or hope or Leavenworth or...you could climb on something besides granite....I ain't jokin' this stuff is worth the visit if your a pad totin' pebble pincher.

I'd join the club and diss chuckyournut sandstone too-if I wanted to hord the good stuff for myself...Yeah-you can't climb sandstone-it's choss-don't even try-all the holds crumble in your hand and then you'll land in the ocean and cut your butt open on shells and oysters and be eaten by a crab! Stay away-go to squamish!!! Whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! drew...we should hook up sometime and I'll show you some of the good stuff. Quote

durkee1 Posted September 1, 2002 Posted September 1, 2002 hey just wanted to say hi to all the bellingham locals, and welcome to back to you, Jason. Well, I wanted to say that the local stuff at Larrabee are good for practice, and well to work on, I've been working down their, trying to do problems that I might get or not get, but I feel that the climbing is part of the process of what makes it fun. I am not really interested in what is sand bagged or what is right on. I am more interested in the process of it. Well had to defend the Bellingham scene; I have traveled to a lot of good spots when I was in the rangers (army), from Moores wall NC, Looking Glass NC, Table Top TN, to Joshua tree, to Red Rocks, and many more areas. I feel that they all offer something from natural beauty to some really awesome climbing. I may not be the strongest climber, but I like to have fun when I climb, I think that is what it is all about right? Quote
dyno_merchant Posted September 3, 2002 Author Posted September 3, 2002 .[/qb]when are you gonna put up some routes on the Van Zandt pinacles and make it the next Peshastin [/QB] I've been up to those cliffs years ago and access sucks. You either have to park at someones house and ask them if you can hike through their property or hope that the local logging company has a gate open and go the long way... either way the rock is a super hastle to get to and would only be the next peshastin if it were next to the road and didn't have any trees, dirt and moss on it! The quality of the rock actually isn't that bad but just not worth it! I'll stick to pebblepinching on the boulders. Quote
