layton Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 If you make a rt onto Fairhave st off Chuckanut drive (there's an art gallery/espresso joint there) and follow it to Mud Cove during low tide, you will be rewarded with a crapload of bouldering. Down low are shorter probs, up high are much longer walls. the rock isn't as good as Clayton, which isn't saying much. Happy hunting. p.s also some gear and aid routes available. I have to F.A. on everything so don't get too excited. Quote
Mr._Natural Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 peeps been climbing down at mud bay for a long time mike. Quote
RyanTriplett Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 exactly, so when did your "FA's" go down? Quote
Distel32 Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 Joe lives on mud cove on the property that the city is buying, he's done pretty much everything there, a few years ago Quote
layton Posted June 22, 2004 Author Posted June 22, 2004 That typo on the last sentance was better than my original intention. It's climbed out and i named ever route after myself. i don't care if people have been climbing there for a long time since I traveled back in time to steal the precious ascents. Â Actually, i just wanted to let folks know there was some stuff there cuz not many people know about it. It gets the Bellingham one star. Quote
Mr._Natural Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 there is a hi res areial here but i am having trouble linking to the image cause its an ftp site. Quote
rat Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 you might check out the area north of mud cove. take the right turn prior to the park just south of fairhaven (name? the one with the rose garden next to the road). there used to be some public access to the shoreline along to the southwest but this could easily have changed. good bouldering above a narrow bench that drops straight to the water. don't bother bringing your humping pad.

Szyjakowski Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 yup, what year were you bham rat? and there was no rock climbers before you climbing the choss heaps on chuckanut drive, right?!? Â Â overheard on a boulder somewhere.......... name the variation to the elimination bro bra, blah fuking blah. please pass the pad i think i am going to fall off this mantle after that last bong tokee. yo!!!!!!!

AlpineK Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 ML and Distel you and your friends are the first to think of climbing around Bham...no really. Â Quote
Distel32 Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 I didn't say he was the first to do them Kurt, just that he has done everything there thats all. Doesn't matter who did it first. Quote
rat Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 and there was no rock climbers before you climbing the choss heaps on chuckanut drive, right?!? Â nope, not a one before 1983. 'nough o' this silliness. Quote
ashw_justin Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 It's all about boulder problems with water landings at high tide. There are a couple easy ones at Clayton and that spot down the way on Post Point. Â You also send those better after a couple of beers. Or rather, your FA is not legit unless your hands and feet are soaking wet AND you already had a couple beers. In fact, Bellingham Beer Bouldering ratings go B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B2, B17, B-uh... in that order, indicating how many beers it takes before you can't send the problem. Also, the beers help you find boulder problems that weren't there before you partook of said beers. Bring your dog so he can fish you out on those hard B12's. Quote
layton Posted June 22, 2004 Author Posted June 22, 2004 I declare the north cascades CLIMBED OUT Quote
ashw_justin Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 Sounds like someone better come up with a cc.com Layton-izer. All route names converted and all photos replaced with Layton carnage. Quote
layton Posted June 22, 2004 Author Posted June 22, 2004 I remember free-soloing the Diamond on Bear Mtn after skyboarding with the guatamalean geko farmers and being like, whoa, didn't you just take a bunch of peyote buttons? could this all be in your head? Â P.S. thanks for the awesome party Darin and folks. good burgers, beer, and slideshows despite polish bob's best efforts. Quote

fern Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 yeah it was an AWESOME party ... thanks for inviting me d00ds!!!!! Quote
layton Posted June 23, 2004 Author Posted June 23, 2004 Dru and Jordan were in charge of the Canadian Section, and since they are both flaming gay, it should be clear why you did not get the invite. Wish you were there, but concider it a blessing in disguise. Polish bob was foaming at the mouth (and not from the rabies either if you get my drift ) Quote
layton Posted June 23, 2004 Author Posted June 23, 2004 Bob was choking Layton from 5 feet away! Â WRONG! I won the game and am trying to eat the cracker... Quote
