Dirtyleaf Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 My partner and I attempted the Blueberry Route on Exfoliation Dome at Darrington 2 weeks ago. We climbed up to pitch 4 and had to bail because of nightfall. The route is in excellent condition and the crux + slab areas are bolt protected and the route has double bolted and chained rappel anchors. Plenty of protection up to pitch 3+4 where the bolts start. Quote
ScottP Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 Central/Eastern Washington: It's about half way between Oregon and BC.... Quote
sobo Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 since when is Darrington in Eastern Washington? Relax, Dru. The guy's got like what, 2 posts? He's new... Quote
Dru Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 You mean they didn't move it over by Vantage? I thought it might have suddenly gotten dryer there. Quote
matt_warfield Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Maybe this poster's request for no "VSC" partners in another section can be related. Quote
chucK Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 (edited) Is this you guys? If so, PM me and I can email you a less crappy version of this photo (and the people in this photo are on p3 of Dark Rhythm). Edited May 12, 2005 by chucK Quote

Plenty of protection up to pitch 3+4 where the bolts start. My guess is that perhap you started out on the West Buttress and then ended up straying onto Dark Rhythm on the third pitch. The West Buttress is all trad except for two bolts. Dark Rhythm has bolts that start at the very beginning. Quote

Dustin_B Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 How far is the road open? I think there was a thread about access here a little while back but I can't find it. Anyone got it? Quote
