San Juan Island bouldering?

[andyf]

I'll be in Friday Harbor on Thursday with some time to kill. I know of bouldering elsewhere in the San Juans, but is there anything on San Juan Island? I can be discreet, both with beta and my activities. Thanks for any help.

 

Also, climbing aside, any tips on hikes or cool places to explore? My son and I might spend the night if sufficiently motivated.

I grew up there and go back pretty regularly and have not been able to find any.

 

South Beach (American Camp) is a beautiful beach, and there's a nice short loop over Mt. Finlayson down to the light-house and back. English Camp and Mt. Young is a nice loop. Sunset from lime-kiln point is pretty incredible. Biking and kayaking around the island are the nicest way to spend your time there.

 

I'm curious about bouldering you've found on other islands. Besides Watmough bay, which is pretty limited, I haven't really found any.

Besides Watmough bay, which is pretty limited...

 

That's it. Very pretty spot, though.

 

Thanks for the reply.
