Choada_Boy Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 I have the pleasure of spending a weekend in Spokane. Anything to climb close to town? I'm looking to throw down a fixed lines and climb laps, so it doesn't have to be anything special, just looking to get on something. Thanks! -J Quote
NYC007 Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 well depends on the type of climbing you want, we have several places within a half hour of town, some right in town. But if your Top rope soloing minnehaha or post falls maybe the best option. Quote
spotly Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Minnehaha or Post Falls. Minne directions: http://www.climbingsource.com/LocalBeta/Washington/minnehaha.html Quote
tyree Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 There are numerous crags around Spokane area. One of my favorites was Deep Creek. It is a very beautiful place to climb compared to Minnehaha. It is overhanging basalt sport climbing, nothing that you can set up a TR on though. China bend is good as well but can be diffucult to TR. The Rocks of Sharon are nice crimping with TR accessability, very beautiful also(not so sure any more due to development in the area). Then there is Dishman Mica Rd as well, TR friendly also; as an added bonus after climbing you can walk over to the strip club and watch some titty dancers too!! Minehaha is the place that is the most popular, Post falls is good too but a half hour from the Can. PM me if you need any more beta. Tyree Quote
drater Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 strip club and watch some titty dancers too!! My wife's cousin dances there, fantastic set of bolt ons. Quote
Choada_Boy Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 Thanks for the tips! I checked out Minnehaha, some interesting anchors to deal with, but a great spot to spend a few hours. I did feel like I hadn't brought enough spray paint or beer bottles to smash, but it looks like the place has been cleaned up a lot. The only drugs I found were a tab of anti-diarrheal medication.

G-spotter Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 The only drugs I found were a tab of anti-diarrheal medication. Did you get a buzz? Quote
Choada_Boy Posted June 11, 2007 Author Posted June 11, 2007 I learned, mid pitch, that taking a tab of found anti-diarrheal medication will actually induce explosive diarrhea. Quote
spotly Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Sorry about the paint. I'm hoping that Spokane County Parks and Rec will use some of the money they recently obtained from leasing out a weeks worth of exclusive access to some film company for organizing and helping to fund some sort of cleanup.
