Off_White Posted June 23, 2010 Author Posted June 23, 2010 I'll check again this afternoon and post an update, but yesterday it wasn't looking encouraging. On the right side, only Calvin & Hobbs and Rubber Boa were dry, everything else had substantial drips somewhere.
Off_White Posted June 23, 2010 Author Posted June 23, 2010 So here's the afternoon update: Â It's a pretty mixed bag, and I'm conflicted because I really really want to climb. Some things are wet, some are dry, and I can't really tell how tender the stone is. Manly, Futility Bill, Hercules, & The Governor are definitely wet. Riddler, Boa, Virgins, & Calvin are dry. Confucius, Pete & Teds, Squirt Theory, and Never Surrender are maybe dry. Â I suppose the answer is just be really considerate and careful about climbing this evening, but its gonna rain again tomorrow, so lets make hay while the sun is shining.
Off_White Posted June 30, 2010 Author Posted June 30, 2010 We're on for tomorrow. Â Parking is becoming an issue, folks should carpool or leave extra vehicles at the store in Tenino. There are about 7 parking spaces available: one just before the bridge on the left, 3 in the new pullout on the left after the bridge, two in the old turnout on the left before the trail, and one (rough) just in front of the gate to the new field at the start of the trail. After that, folks gotta start parking out on the street. Â Â
sobo Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Damn, Off, urban sprawl in Tenino? WTF has the world come to??? Â Mebbe you should put up some parking meters or sumpin. Jus' sayin'...
Off_White Posted June 30, 2010 Author Posted June 30, 2010 Yeah, it kinda freaks me out too, not to mention my wife. She said a few weeks back that some couple of strangers gave her the hairy eyeball for driving down her own driveway, she was about ready to jump out and punch their lights out. Â I can't charge for climbing without compromising my liability exemption as provided in the WA State Law (Thanks for getting climbing specifically included in that legislation Andy Fitz!), but I bet I could charge for parking. Â Who knows, I might have to make a "Crag Full, Go Home" sign to put in the road.
sobo Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Who knows, I might have to make a "Crag Full, Go Home" sign to put in the road. Â NO ROCK FOR YOU! COME BACK, ONE YEAR! Â
zhanx Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 ok schedule is clear for this Wednesday. Hopefully it stays that way. I have only been able to hike a bike and mountain bike late in the evening.

damage Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 I'm interested in bumming a ride to the crag this wed if there's anyone in oly-town headed there. thanks!
Off_White Posted August 9, 2010 Author Posted August 9, 2010 I'm out of town until Sept 6th, so while the event still runs for folks already registered, there is a moratorium on new folks until I'm back. Sorry for the inconvenience, see you in September.
damage Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) sept it is then, thanks off white Edited August 15, 2010 by damage
Off_White Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 This song's for you! [video:youtube] Â Maybe maybe maybe, if it stays dry. I'll go check it out tomorrow afternoon and see if this Wednesday we couldn't have a go at it.
Off_White Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 Nope, not yet I'm afraid. Most everything is wet at the top and the stone is noticeably damp to the touch. We're still getting at least one good shower a day out here. Perhaps by the weekend...
Off_White Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 Yeah, fuckin' hell, eh? It cut loose pretty well out here today, undid any benefit we had out of the grey gloomy weekend. Looks like another late start season here in Tenino... Â
