KellyS Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Hi Everyone - Just a quick note about the upcoming Leavenworth and Gold Bar guide. Central Washington Bouldering: Leavenworth and Gold Bar will be released sometime during April by Sharp End Books, a small company in Boulder, Colorado. I finished work on it a few months ago, and I'm just now seeing what they've done with the layout. I have to say it looks pretty sweet - the guide will be printed in black and white, but there are plenty of awesome images, as well as detailed maps and photographic 'topos.' The book will list over 550 problems in Leavenworth, 150 in Gold Bar, and a dozen in Index. For the time being, I've uploaded some old climbingfilms.com videos of Leavenworth and Gold Bar on youtube. Check them out here. I will be adding more over time, especially when the weather improves. At this rate, spring will be here soon. Feel free to PM me with any questions, etc. See you all out there!

drater Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Gold Bar and Leavenworth=Central Washington? Quote
DirtyHarry Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Yeah, since when is Gold Bar in Central Washington? Quote
Peter_Puget Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) Are you guys serious? Leavenworth is only a few miles from the center of the state. Goldbar is a stretch..... I bet this guidebook will rock. Edited February 15, 2007 by Peter_Puget Quote
DirtyHarry Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 11worth is central washington. Gold Bar, as anywhere west of the mountains, is not. Quote
Peter_Puget Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 depends on how you define central. I would say an hour east of Leavenworth is still central as would be an hour west. Quote
EWolfe Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Leave the poor girl alone, you Bullies. She's just trying to consolidate areas for ease of reference. Quote
DirtyHarry Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 depends on how you define central. I would say an hour east of Leavenworth is still central as would be an hour west. No way. Central Washington is not anything an hour west of Leavenworth. Central Washington is west of the crest till about the same longitude as Moses Lake. That's a fact. Quote
olyclimber Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 well, it is something worth argueing about on teh interwebnet. central washington is really about a state of mind anyway. Quote
Billygoat Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 You guys are fuckin' tools Thanks Kelly! Quote
sexual_chocolate Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 kelly, check yer pm's. new route info if not too late. Quote
JensHolsten Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 I second the "tools" notion. Thanks for the hard work Kelly. I definetely am looking foward to the book. Quote
Sherri Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 well, it is something worth argueing about on teh interwebnet. central washington is really about a state of mind anyway. Say WA? Quote
drater Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 I suppose Monroe is Central Washington now as well, being close to Gold Bar and all... Someone once posted this really funny map of washington on cc.com, if I wasn't so lazy I might go look for it. It would settle this for sure! Quote
drater Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Anybody know what the physical epicenter of the state is? My guess is within a few miles of Thorpe. Someone please geek out and let me know. Thanks. Quote
DirtyHarry Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Dude, where ever I happen to be is the physical epicenter of the state. Duh. Quote
benighted Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 From the USGS : Because there is no generally accepted definition of a geographic center and no completely satisfactory method of determining it, there may be as many geographic centers of a State or county as there are definitions of the term. The geographic center of an area may be defined as the center of gravity of the surface, or that point on which the surface of an area would balance if it were a plane of uniform thickness. For Washington this is 10 miles west-southwest of Wenatchee Quote
el jefe Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 there is no such thing as central washington, just eastern washington and western washington. oregon, on the other hand, has west, central, and eastern parts. anyone who has lived in the nw for 20 minutes knows this. Quote
kevino Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Anybody know what the physical epicenter of the state is? My guess is within a few miles of Thorpe. Someone please geek out and let me know. Thanks. Two blocks from my house. Quote
ZONK Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Keep Central Washington Free ! Gold Bar is NOT Central Washington ! Its on the Damn Coast ! because its on the other side of the Pass ! Quote
lancegranite Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 There is no such thing as eastern Washington, everything east of Leavenworth is really western Idaho. Quote
archenemy Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 There is no such thing as eastern Washington, everything east of Leavenworth is really western Idaho. Quote
