G-spotter Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Hello sprayers Here is a math problem. If Climber #1 leaves Chilliwack and drives south, and Climber #2 leaves Seattle and drives north, where will they meet up on Sunday to climb some routes that is a) dry b) a real crag with good routes c) gets them back to Seattle in time for Sausagey goodness? Is the answer Index or Exit 38 or Erie or WTF? Quote
Off_White Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Eerie would seem to be the logical straight line solution, Index the quality selection, but both are running a 60% chance of showers, so you might wind up at the climbing gym in Everett. If it's aiding in the rain at Index, take pictures of the suffering for showing that evening. Quote
dberdinka Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Erie is definitely worth a day trip. It's gotta be one of the most scenic crags in the state if not the country and the climbing is pretty good too. It's also in a bit of rain shadow compared to most of the Puget Sound. Zig-Zag to Springboard is the classic 2-4 pitch 5.8 trad climb best approached from below. Lots of bolted pitches in the area as well in the 5.8-5.10 but nothing all that great and the bolting is pretty piss-poor. Powerline Wall is easy accessed TRing or sport climbing on off-vertical edges and sidepulls, 5.8-5.10+ Orange Wall is about 5-10 minutes below the Powerline Wall. Vertical to slightly-overhung 5.10 sport routes, more solitude, great views. Just before the Orange Wall are several lower-angle easier? climbs that look nice too. Rosario Beach at Deception Pass State Park is a fun place to drink beer, steep sport routes by the parking lot too. Quote
G-spotter Posted March 30, 2007 Author Posted March 30, 2007 The "new math" says the answer is Alpine Climbing in BC! Sorry Warshington crags. I will have to siege you later. Quote
