Jason_Martin Posted November 12, 2002 Posted November 12, 2002 In the year 2000 the Mountaineers Ice course went to Brian Burdo and asked him where there could be a so called "official" drytooling area. The result is the location previously posted here. Â This particular area is not super hot. It's a bit low angle and slabby. However there are numerous climbs here. Â However, there have been reports of fun mixed climbs down the railroad grade a bit at the Exit 38 climbing area. Periodically there is ice between "Slippery when Wet" and "Stick Boy", sometimes there's ice between "Hangover Helper" and "Home Erectus" and sometimes on "Just Dessert." Â The Cobblestone Wall on Mt. Baker Highway has seen a bit of drytooling action. Apparently Scott DeCapio has sent a 5.8 route here in full ice climbing regalia. Â And lastly, the Toolshed, which requires real skill to climb at can be found near Pan Dome Falls in the Mt. Baker Ski Area. Â Jason

If you die out there, let me know where its gonna be so I can be first on the scene and score the newly-available used gear before anyone else does.

Maybe nighttime for added training intensity??  If not, other suggestions... Try the nice lil' M7 at sehome hill. Good practice on dicey rock. Still waiting a lead ascent (make sure I'm nowhere around). Newhalem rock is kinda fun too. Better yer, go to Gov. Lister Cliffs of Chuckanut drive, if you can drytool there, you'll be ready for a mixed ascent of the chossiest route. Helmets seriously required.  Of course, I've never never done any of these suggestion(for all you local fanatics  [ 11-12-2002, 04:44 PM: Message edited by: michael_layton ]

Dumpster_Diver Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 Drytooling is not a beginner sport. Plus it can be fucking hazardous to your dental work and cranium bone. Get off the hype lawgoddess and quit fondling through magazines so much. Within about 20 minutes I bet you'd find it real boring anyway. Pulling on plastic is more fun. Besides I am with Lambone when he mentions ruining gear and will not improve any ice climbing skills you have. I doubt you'll do much drytooling this winter while out seeking ice anyhow. Usually it's sick shit and doesnt really compare to what the Cascade Crags gym has to offer.
Lambone Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 I agree, although i've gotten some killer work outs drytooling in bouldering caves on plastic holds. Great for the abs...or beer gut, as the case may be...

Lambone Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 It's right by Pan-Dome Falls Cavey (to the right I think), there are several lines.
Cpt.Caveman Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 From the looks of it I have to say that it aint in my bag of tricks. But damn with the trees like that I had to assume it was the Cascades. Forrest is that you or one of your buds
