mattp Posted June 27, 2001 Posted June 27, 2001 Saturday and Sunday, July 7 and 8, there will be a trail project on the trail to Three O'Clock Rock at Darrington. Last year, the work party was able to greatly improve the trail to the crag, and this year we hope to work on the next segment of the trail, which passes Four O'Clock Rock and heads up to Squire Creek Pass. This portion of the Squire Creek Pass trail, in the Eightmile Creek drainage, has been all but abandoned and is in such poor shape that the Forest Service has even taken down the sign at the trailhead. Note: this project is sponsored by the Access Fund, the Washington Trails Association, and The North Face, and has been planned in cooperation with the Darrington ranger station, Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest. Note also: volunteers are asked to sign up at the web site for the Washington Trails Association, www.wta.org . The registration form can be activated by selecting trail teams, then schedule, and scrolling down to July 7 and 8. Come out and show your support! Quote
mattp Posted July 3, 2001 Author Posted July 3, 2001 Hey all you public minded climbers. Come on out to Darrington t get dirty and have some fun working on the trail this weekend. Last year we were able to climb after work, both days, and it looks as if the weather forecast is in our favor again this year! - Matt Perkins 781-2520 Quote
mattp Posted July 5, 2001 Author Posted July 5, 2001 There's still room in our work party at Darrington this weekend. To sign up in advance, go to www.wta.org, and select "trail teams," then scroll down to the date. Darrington Climbing tee shirts will be given out to the first 15 who show up each day. Quote
mattp Posted July 6, 2001 Author Posted July 6, 2001 The Darrington trail project is not full, but if you go to the WTA web page it may appear that it is. We'll be there, at the Three O'Clock Rock trailhead in Clear Creek, at 8:30 am Saturday and Sunday. Quote
mattp Posted July 7, 2001 Author Posted July 7, 2001 The D-Town weather forecast: sunny. That means that we can go climbing after work, and the trail project will probably conclude by 3:00 pm both Saturday and Sunday, leaving plenty of daylight left for those who want to play. Three O'Clock Rock has climbs from 5.5 to 5.11, all trad to all bolts (most routes require a small rack). Come on out. Quote
mattp Posted July 7, 2001 Author Posted July 7, 2001 If you want to carpool, I know at least one person that would like a ride to Darrington and back on Saturday. Quote
