sk Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 i have stayed at the bivi a few times. it was okay and handy when the Things were really little. But i much prefer skull hollow. i like th noise and camp fires and the people walking around. the best part is running into people i know. it is so much fun to hook up with fun climbers and share beer and all climb together etc. good times good times!!!

poorclimber Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 One plus to skull hollow is that your tent ends up next to your car and where you are cooking. While the bivy sites are often a ways away from the "cooking" and parking area. Something else to consider, I suppose it could send you either way.

high_on_rock Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Probably because I am old, but I like the bivi area. Less large parties, more social drinking. Access to the rock without having to drive, less noise, tremendous view of the rock in the morning if you get a nice site. Bathroom, running water, shower, cannot ask for more. I also seem to meet more people from out of the area there. Skull seems to get the seattle/portland area, Bivi gets the canadians and long distance climbers. Merely my opinion.

rangertommy Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 I'm thinkin' it's Climber's Bivouac for us. If any of you are gonna be out that way, be sure and say hey! Thanks for your input, y'all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangertommy Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 Just got back from four stellar days at Smith, and we stayed in the Climber's Bivouac. Thanks, all, for your input. The Bivouac site was great, met lots of climbers from all over the place--newbies and hardcore. Super positive atmosphere, even if the walk to the tent was farther than it would be at skull.

rangertommy Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 We did all the Morning Glory Wall routes, Karate Crack, Sunshine Dihedral, a bunch of stuff off of Northern Point, everything on Rope de Dope, and a bunch of other stuff as well. Beautiful few days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
