It's Thursday for me this week.

I have never been to exit 38. Could someone possibly shoot me some directions? Via email, pm, or your method of choice. I know its exit 38 off of I-90 but then were do you go? Is it right off the exit?

I'll be heading out there with a friend of mine, we'll probably stick to the trestle area.

There are three main areas: Far Side, Trestle, and Mt. Washington. You'd have to know where the group was going. See www.northbendrock.com for maps to the various areas.

Thanks catbird and weekend climberz.

Sendfest last night

 

CBS, you need to come up and give us an objective grading.

[catbirdseat]

Are you talking about your new projects? I might just do that.

[Rad]

Still some loose rock to be cleaned so be careful.

[catbirdseat]

The weather forecast is a bit better for Thursday than it is for Wednesday, so Thursday is the day for me this week.

[Weekend_Climberz]

I'm on for Thursday, and I think Alex was planning on that too.

 

Bring your lunch money

Is there a group going out on Thursday? Mind if I come along?

[Weekend_Climberz]

We're meeting today at QFC at 4:30 in the 'Quah. Look a few pages back for direction. Cheers

Anybody for climbing this WE...

 

I'm new (I arrived two month and an half ago) in town and I climbed a couple of nice routes at the exits but I'm still looking for a bunch of buddies to climb to the exits more regularly...

Exit 38 Mini Trip Report:

 

Jens and, I believe, Allison pass us on the freeway just before Exit 34 on their way to Exit 32. They honk and wave with Jens grinning from ear to ear.

 

Hit some object on I-90 in North Bend, which punctured left rear tire. Pulled off right after Ken's Truck Stop exit. Tried to get spare out, but hold down bolt was corroded from being in place for 18 year (apparently). Used the jack to crank on bolt but the wings just sheared off (no vice grips because my tool box had been stolen).

 

Auto Club's trucks all are busy, minimum three hour wait. They tell me I can call an independent and they'll reimburse me.

 

Removed tire and took it to Ken's Truck Stop where we bought a plug kit. Filled the tire with air, plugged the hole and headed back to the car. Martin says he hears a leak. I couldn't hear it because I have ringing in my ears all the time. He says he's quite sure.

 

We arrive back at my car and he pulls the tire out and finds a second, smaller leak. We plugged that too, almost breaking off the reamer tool in the process. The tire still had enough air to use, so we put it back on the car and off to the Far Side, arriving at 6 pm.

 

We climbed like mad and actually put up 8 routes between us and each climbed at least 5 route before it got dark.

 

Beer and Supernachos at NBBG, per usual.

 

Moral of the story: check your spare and make sure it can be removed, has air and that you have a good jack, wrench and all that s---.

[Weekend_Climberz]

Damn dude

 

Did I ever tell you my Hearts Pass flat tire story?

[catbirdseat]

Anyone interested in checking out Fee Demo Wall after work on Thursday? I think it only take about 20-30 minutes longer to reach than Exit 38. Sounds like something different to do.

Highlight of the story: you have a reamer tool.
