Blake Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 It seems like weather is not cooperating recently, what are you all doing to get your fix of climbing in? Do you have any tried and true areas you like to head to for times like this weekend when it looks showery, but not rainy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtom Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Scuba diving. Weather's always the same. 100% chance of wetness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 A week of field work next week along the Methow, Columbia, and Okanagon. Bring the shoes for some boulder time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterC Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Easy alpine climbs. Try W. Ridge N. Twin Sister. Rock is quite grippy, even in a rainstorm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_Puget Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 This weekend will be spent listening to Evanescence and playing Sims2. While not climbing it's still pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelawgoddess Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 thank god for crappy weather this weekend. i have a test i need to study for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMR Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 would that test start with a "B" and end w/ an "R"??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshK Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Staying in Colorado... Â I ended up bailing on my trip home when I saw the forecasted weather. It's been sunny every day here since. For once I didn't screw myself listening to the weather-guessers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawgoddess Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 would that test start with a "B" and end w/ an "R"??? god no! why would i go and do a thing like that??? i left work at 3:30 today and the traffic sucked the worst i've seen it since i started this job. i'm blaming it on the weather because the traffic sucked after 6pm yesterday, too. and to stay on topic, vantage can often be a good alternative.

Drederek Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Was nice at Leav yesterday. If the winds are calm there are dry lines at Lil Si and Fossil. Climbing up and down scaffolding at work. Looking at new areas on the web. Slumming at this site. And there is always the Warehouse Rock Gym down here in Olympia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k.rose Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Out here in Pt. Angeles the climbing at the Elwha overhangs enough that many climbs stay dry as does the base of the cliff. I've been doing a session every day this last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 The Tieton! The rock dries out in, like, seconds! You got it! It rained a little on Saturday afternoon, but it was beautiful on Sunday. Ran into Leland and Dave W. Climbed lots of great routes, including Jam Exam and Inca Roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 ...Climbed lots of great routes, including Jam Exam and Inca Roads. Â Excellent! I couldn't play cuz I was packing for the migration to the Dry Shitties. We'll be outta the the Palm Springs of Washington by Memorial Day. Â So much to do, so much still left to do...

Sol Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 there are at least 3 crags in WA, west of leavenworth, that have routes which stay dry all year round. unfortunatly, you'll have to find them yourself cuz i don't want to see you and your posse blowing up the scene the next time it rains. sorry. Â also, don't forget about the lost art of aid climbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmace Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Ditto for Skaha, although I have never seen so many parked cars, the out of the way crags were baren. Â Now when in the hell did they start charging 3 bucks per person?? Â At least dont put up a sign saying there have been breakins, they should watch for you for an average 10$ per car.
