[Dougie]

Monday is my only day off this week and i was hopeing to make it up to the drytooling park at exit 38. if this sounds like fun, give me a pm. i get off work at midnight tonight so it would be kinda a late start(10am). plus this would my first time for "mixed climbing". i have a car, rope ect and i would more than happy to drive.

Nevermind.

The drytooling area in the Alpental valley is called "Rap Wall". It is above source lake at the head of the valley.

 

There are four or five routes from M5 to Mhard.

There is a picture of Roger Strong climbing there in the most recent R&I magazine although R&I messed up his name and said that Alpental Valley was in Alaska.

 

Cheers.

Just to add to the apparent confusion, there is a drytooling crag at exit 38 too. It features 4 sets of TR anchors and one lead-bolted route, all on slabby rock from Mveryeasy to around M4+. If you want real detailed information, see Washington Ice or PM me.

Alex,

 

Where was the Mveryeasy? They all seemed M-HowTheHellDoIClimbThis to me.

bump- this is an old one. They added a few routes since this thread. I'd say there's a total of 5. We did two of the rightward ones. Good times. Don't know the grades but comprable to maybe 5.9?

Anybody want to go climb at Rap Wall this weekend?

All of it felt hard to me.
