crimper Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 This is a cry for help. I climbed here back in 2002 or so but can't remember a thing about where to park/start hiking. I have olson's new guide and it's pretty vague about those details. I'm camping here this weekend with my wife and 3 young kids and won't have the luxury of bushwhacking around to find the crag eventually. If anyone has decent beta I'd give it a go, though. Can anyone help me out? Thanks! Quote
crimper Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 i found the crag (you can exhale now). olson's guidebook beta was enough. it's not the promising first rightside turn 3-4 minutes after leaving the campground (this is a wide trail), but a few hundred feet later turn right (onto a much fainter, yet obvious if you're looking for it, trail). it angles NE and up, and within 4-5 minutes it's clear you need to choose whether to go above or below a burgeoning cliffband. choose below. there's maybe 40 routes, 30-50 feet high, and mainly bolted or mixed. i only bouldered with my 4 and 6 year olds. is it killer climbing? no. but you can take your family here and climb sport routes up to 5-11 just 10-15 minutes walk from your lakeside campsite. where else can you do that within 90 minutes of pdx? (if you know, tell me!) Quote
