sneaky_steve Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Trip: Weeping Wall, Bluewood, WA - Date: 1/9/2010 Trip Report: We decided to head up to Bluewood's Weeping Wall on Saturday to see if we could find some climbable ice. With the warming temperatures we were skeptical but with the top rope accessible Weeping Wall knew we'd probably be able to find something to climb! Sure enough a few pillars were quite decent and we were able to setup a top rope and lap some short ice pitches. The ice was seeping a little bit, but still fun nonetheless. There were some cool formations to look at as well. es. Gear Notes: top rope anchor gear Approach Notes: Parking at the Middle point trailhead. Walk up the road a mile or so to access the wall 75 yards off the road on the left. Quote

Jake_Gano Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 awesome!! this wall was the first place i'd climbed ice, 6 years ago. also, i took a swim in that creek once. ahh, memories I took a 'swim' too, when I blew a gusher near the top of the climb on a 35 degree day there a few years back. In the last ten feet of the climb, I managed to get soaked head to toe. Two thumbs up for short approaches and synthetic insulation. Quote
dbb Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 are there any bolted mixed routes under those hanging pillars? It looks like a smaller version of the Genesis I area in Hyalite! Quote
punk_rocker333 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I've been wanting to check this spot out. Think there will be any ice left by this weekend? It's getting warm. Quote

sneaky_steve Posted January 13, 2010 Author Posted January 13, 2010 Relatively speaking yes, the closest town is Dayton, and it is very close to Bluewood ski resort. Quote
