Outer space or Darrington this weekend?

Hi. I'm looking to climb Outer Space at Snowcreek or one of the

longish routes at Darrington this weekend. Saturday or Sunday ok. I've climbed both many times before. I can lead either and have mucho years experience. You should be competent to follow 5.9's. We can swing leads or not. I dont mind newbys. Good opportunity for someone who wants to learn to get onto a longer route. Must be dog, reggae and mexican food friendly, oh and, yes, no spacing out or falling asleep on belays (it happens!)

I have not yet got plans for the weekend and my wife may have something to say about it but I'd like to camp out in Darrington and climb some "longish" routes one of the next couple of weekends.

 

The road is open and the place is great and it is waiting for you. The last 1/2 mile of the road to the ExFo routes needs some chainsaw work, but maybe we could hit that, too.

Hanman and Builder206 did all the work when I went up there. I've got back issues that keep me from fully participating.

 

Exfoliation Dome is one of the coolest rock climbing destinations in Western Washington, in my opinion. Lets get back up there and I'll help drag a few branches off the road and we can hit the Dome. Even on warm days, it is cool enough to enjoy with an early start.

 

I'm not sure whether I'll be able to go this weekend or next, but the Dome awaits anybody looking for longer climbs on great rock. The Blueberry Route is more "trad" in that it has no pro bolts and there are cracks and flakes, and the routes to the left grow successively steeper and harder. They are all pretty darned good 8 pitch climbs, 5.8 to 5.12.
