icegirl Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 Ben, if you've been following these threads (I assume you have) you will notice that there is mention of a rotating Index, Leavenworth, Exit 32, Exit 38 schedule. I assume you have a nice set of 5.5-5.7 routes selected for us when we do head to Index??? Right now Leavenworth is a soot factory, and being that I only just got the smoke smell out of my pack, I'm not that keen on heading up there right away... Index is a great idea, but we are a talking about people with little or no climbing experience here, I really want to give them a chance to get on some things that they will find easy enough to complete, and not get disheartend by failures... So far exit 38 seems to work quite well for this, it's basically an outdoor gym, with a better view, no strange ass music or gruntin' boulder boys, an approach shorter than the UW gym (if you don't want to pay an arm and a leg to park), and cleaner air...

BreezyD Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Yeaow ... Many thanks to Icegirl for assuring me that I am not a liability despite my lame lack of skills! I am going to try my hardest to make it and hopefully take a few notes from y'all. Can someone shoot me some more detailed directions and whereabouts as I will be coming more on the 5:00 ish side? Thanks! Brianna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icegirl Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 http://www.northbendrock.com/Deception/index.htm Park at the Deception Crags trailhead, follow the trail up (it's not too far, about 8 min or so) pass the "Substation" area (the first climbing area next to the trestle), continue on to the top of the trail, where it meets Iron Horse trail (gravel road)look immediately to your left, and there is "Write Off Rock" if we are not there, then we will be to the East, on "We Did Rock" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szyjakowski Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 yeah and what about Erie? actually, nevermind, index is too buggy and muggy for you girls.... have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icegirl Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 So there is like one good climb in the range I'm looking for, but it's multipitch... right? Or am I mistaken. I've climbed at Erie, it's nice, but well, we are looking for places that are close and good for after work... Knock it off with the "for us girls" stuff. Either be of help, or not. I don't mind either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 You can drive to Erie in about 1 hour, 15 minutes. Seems like it could take that long to drive to Index. So those two are a push timewise. Mt Erie has a few multi-pitch climbs in the 5.7-5.9 range (Snag Buttress) but most of the terrain is top-rope stuff. All in all, it is just another place one can go when one wants to have some variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowByrd Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 index is too buggy and muggy Its time for a new "quote" BOY-O! Whats wrong with buggy n muggy? Exit 38 is close...I have to get to work at 6:00 AM to get there by 3...so what time would I have to get to work to be at Index in time to climb? 4:30 a.m.? Oi! You'll get your 'girl' climb if you're nice to Icegirl (maybe)...you gots to be patient man! Some of us aren't ready to meet the Granite God just yet! Are you this impatient in EVERY situation?

marylou Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Godzilla is NOT a beginner route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrgo Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 I agree, I know climbers who have a decent amount of experience and have fallen off that layback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szyjakowski Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 godzilla is a 5.9 and can easily be set up as toprope... hence beginner (slash for allison) intermediate route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
