It looks like they are installing some rad fourth class lines.

 

The outdoor wall was designed for teaching beginner Mounties climbing technique, so the walls are pretty slabby and well featured, even without holds. There are a couple nice hand and finger cracks, though.

 

The boulder may be a little more interesting.

to bash is so fun! When I was in search and rescue they were a running joke. There would be a report of 1 group of 10 missing and some how two groups = 20 or so would be found. In their defence, I am glad to see city folk trying to enjoy the out doors.

That's weird. In my experience (King & Snohomish counties), most people in SAR and/or mountain rescue are either mounties themselves, or act very "mountie-like." And speaking of "enjoying the outdoors" I see a lot of rolly-polly SAR guys who don't EVER seem to get out, except on missions.

As you yourself said, it was the city's decision. Not that you have anything to worry about, I wouldn't get within a hundred miles of these wankers.

The misrepresentation of the climbing program by posting pics from a Eugene Mountain Rescue FT and a Mountaineers Scrambling FT (both of which have nothing to do with the climbing program) is a really classy touch. Are you ignorant of where those photos come from or are you just looking to cause problems?

 

i need at least a season to prep for that thing...

 

I suspect you'll need more time than that. Just out of curiosity, are you the fat guy or the goofy dork with the big nips in this pic?
