Mt Baker crag...does it ever really dry out?

[Chad_A]

Thought about taking the wife out there for some of the fun cobble-like stuff I saw over on the left hand side, but not sure if that moss ever dries out and goes away...maybe it never gets climbed enough to stay in descent condition?

 

Thanks much in advance for input.

That moss doesn't go away on it's own. Climbed there 8-9 years ago, and the cobble wall needs a thorough cleaning every year from what i recall.

Pretty much gave up on that area and just climbed the steeper bolted stuff you can see from the road.

Thanks Jimbo, that's what I figured. If I were to go out there by myself, is there a way to access from the top to clean it on rap? I only glanced around up there on a rainy spring day. Some of the overhung routes look to stay dry.

 

While I'm at it, any suggestions as to what I should use to clean the rock? Never undertaken that before so don't want to damage or polish the rock to slickness.

Well, I do have some orange juice in the fridge and some leftover white gas in the garage...
