Bellingham, WA climbing and outdoors

[JayB]

BC or Calgary?

[glassgowkiss]

calgary, however the process takes about 12-24 months.

You'll be close to a lot of rad climbing.

You'll be close to a lot of rad climbing choss.

Spoken by a man with little Canadian Rockies experience.

Pfff.. the best routes on Yamnuska are looser than the worst routes on the Chief and the same is true of the mountains.

[glassgowkiss]

maybe you can share your tick list with us? I have climbed a fair number of lines on both faces and i don't share this opinion.

[AlpineK]

Have you ever heard of Edith Cavell, Robson, or the Tonquin valley? And that's just a few.

[G-spotter]

OOh yah, Robson is known for its high-standard rock climbing

Maybe in comparison to Bellingham

[Choada_Boy]

Which route did you climb on Robson?

[G-spotter]

Your Mom.

[AlpineK]

Dru you're obviously not a good enough climber to do anything other than granite climbing.

 

I am curious what routes you've done in the Canadian Rockies. Robson? Oubliette? Or have you only been to the Banff film festival?

[G-spotter]

I climbed Squaw's Tit.

Onsight.

Phone the mags!

Yeah, Bellingham is just a rainier, colder and windier version of Seattle with less people and more and cute girls and trees and cool coffee shops and close mountains and neat pubs and good grocery stores more hippy things to do.

 

 

Better stay away. I hear Austin Texas is real neat.

Yeah, Tennessee, the rock scene in Boulder, CO is pretty huge. Hard not to be with Eldorado Springs, Flatirons, and Boulder Canyon (all with world-class routes) within 5-20 minutes of the center of town. Don't go there if you're into mountaineering, though. The Colorado Rockies can't compare to glaciated pacific northwest peaks.
