tthirloway Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Now that summer is quickly approaching... If you had one week off for a climbing trip during the summer, what is the best destination for a roadtrip? Any type of climbing, preferably within reasonable driving distance of Seattle/Portland. Go. Quote
DirtyHarry Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Vantage, with maybe a quick sidetrip to X 38. Quote
Kat_Roslyn Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Wa Pass. Free camping, river to swim in, cragging at goat rocks, often sunny. Swimmin at the lake. Lotsa options. Quote
RuMR Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Vantage, with maybe a quick sidetrip to X 38. no way, brah... Camping at the locks with the grind at stoneyG's...side trips to the vertical world... its the shit!! Quote

sk Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 thread title says "SUMMER climbing roadtrip"... phonix, its a wonderful thing! :kisses: through my drug induced haze all i saw was "climbing road trip" I think all the places i want to go the most are desert locations. spring and fall are climbing season. summer is hot and time to play around and chase the shade at smith or hang out at flagstone Quote

Any type of climbing, preferably within reasonable driving distance of Seattle/Portland. Go. What do consider "reasonable driving distance"? I know guys who go to Yosemite in 4 days and live in Ptown. Quote
NTM Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Wa Pass. Free camping, river to swim in, cragging at goat rocks, often sunny. Swimmin at the lake. Lotsa options. good call. Quote
crazy_t Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 tuolomne/ high sierra or Colorado- RMNP, Lumpy, Eldo, Independence Pass, South Platte. High places (CO or CA) will be cool enough, potential skiing dep on time you go, gets you out of the area for a road trip feel. Quote
kevbone Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Wa Pass. Free camping, river to swim in, cragging at goat rocks, often sunny. Swimmin at the lake. Lotsa options. good call. Ya.....what about just climbing at index for a week. Or just go to smith and chase the shade. Save money on gas if you climb close. Quote
billcoe Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 You can't go wrong on any of the choices. I'd go where my headspace would be best. Only you know how you feel on this. Yosemite has a times 9 better feel for goodness of heart than Smith for me, but if you don't have a campsite lined up in advance it can be real F*ed. Later summer Touleme. You could swing right by Donner summit/Lovers Leap on the way back and crank some classic lines. Quote
