billcoe Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 don't forget the huge buttress with the splitter crack in Renton, near the school I've heard that the massive granite schoolroom crack got done and the new Renton guidebook is out.

Cobra_Commander Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Be careful with the Renton situation. You can still climb there but there have been a few access issues. I don't think that guidebook was a good idea considering how our access could get yanked at any moment. It would be a real shame to lose such nice climbs so close to Seattle. It doesn't seem like a lot of folks are getting in there these days either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Its pretty weird though, that sweet finger to hand crack I scrubbed last spring is already starting to get mossy again. Its indicative of a lot of routes there. I don't know why it doesn't see more traffic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
