SemoreJugs Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 So which climbing destination is going to be the most overrun by obnoxious top-roping squatters, overflowing campgrounds, human waste, dogs that aren't controlled by their owners, and noisy groups that want to make sure everyone else's experience is tainted by their existence?

SemoreJugs Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Smith is going to be like an ant colony at the main area. Vantage will be overrun by Sasquach campers, fecal matter, and trash. And its too hot now IMHO. Squamish camping may be tough, but I have never had a problem getting away from the crowds even on perfect summer weekends. The drive is going to be super congested, though. Leavenworth? not sure, but again, there are plenty of places to go hide from the commoners And Tieton, it is pretty much devoid of any other users except for climbers. Theres always places to camp off of the logging roads, if you know where to look (or have the patience to search). Happy Memorial Day! Remember to pour some beer on the ground for those soldiers that gave their lives so that we can enjoy our secure, free lifestyle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-spotter Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Long weekends are a great time to hit up your LOCAL CRAG because everyone else will be roadtrippin' .... RuMR is just taking that to the logical extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemoreJugs Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Went to Tieton. There seemed to be LESS people than normal at this time of year!!! Maybe we got lucky. Fri-The Bend Sat - Lava Point Sun - Rainbow Rocks (that trail aint no rainbow for sure) Mon - Royal Columns So YEAH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Tieton woulda been my vote... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Squamish was empty Monday, but I ran into quite a few Americans Saturday and Sunday. Did everyone go home for the BBQ's? The drive out and back wasn't bad, just an hour wait at the border on the way back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StreetBoss Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Went to Smith - Park was empty. Weather was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SExNW Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 That was the most crowded I've ever seen Tieton (never been there before on M-Day weekend). But the beauty of that place is there are so many spots to climb (and camp!) that the masses just don't go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
