Jens Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 A little bit of scrubbing is going on off SR-900 (Renton-Issaquah highway). * The boulder 10 minutes up the trail from the Wilderness peak trailhead is sporting some chalk and scrubbed holds. I've always dismissed the thing as to dirty but it looks like now it may have a few nice problems. * The boulder 10 feet off SR-900 as you descend towards Issaquah sports a problem I did a long time ago. I noticed it is sporting some new chalked holds and some more scrubbed stone. * The old "Issa-quarry" or "spy rock" at the divide is seeing more climbers than I can ever remember. Any more spots to mention anyone? Everyone bring a wire brush and contribute. With more traffic, these could be even more clean and fun.

kix Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 any other boulders? any good lines coming out from the overhangs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 any other boulders? any good lines coming out from the overhangs? Yeah, the entire cougar mt. area has some boulders scattered in the area. Checkout the ones I mentioned above off the Renton-Issaquah highway (SR900). Also, up the wilderness peak trailhead a ways farther their may be some more potential. Also I haven't looked at the "fantastic erratic" (marked on all maps) boulder in a long time but with some scrubbing it might be OK? With enough traffic, somebody could string together a circuit.

DPS Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 There is a really nice boulder off of the Tiger Mountain Trail on Tiger Mountain, maybe 6-8 miles in from the closest trailhead. It is signed 'Lone Rock'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kix Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 6-8 miles in from the closest trailhead. It is signed 'Lone Rock'. hahahahahahaaaaaa and so it shall likely remain. boulderers are far more intelligent than to schlep some ridiculous distance just to climb some obscurity. my beer would be warm before I even got there. ---- I will have to re-tour cougar mtn. I have not hiked there since I started climbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock-ice Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 On a somewhat related note is the water level low enough to boulder at rattlesnake (I would think so)? Also does anyone know about some boulders near the base of si's north pilar. Caveman said something about them a couple years ago, I've never checked it out.

chirp Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I was up there yesterday and 90% of the boulder has about 1'-4' of water around it. We putzed around after hitting E-38 but the session was less than stellar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrogdortheBurninator Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 That rattlesnake boulder is way harder in waders and oversized felt soled wading boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClipStick Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 This is the gardens at Lil Si right. It looks awesome. Some ass at rockclimbing.com told me it wasn't worth my time. Looks like a nice area to me. With enought traffic any rock will be clean. I don't think Squamish boulder clean themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
