Eric K Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Swung by 7 mile crag today. That place is great, lot of really cool climbs and really good friction. I "climbed" someones project, I hope they don't mind. Really fun day more people should head up there. Eric Quote
Otto Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Sounds good, where is this crag? Please don't say, "Renton". Quote
Eric K Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 Skagit valley, mountain project 7 mile is one of three crags in the area and all are above 3000' and there is almost never anyone there which is nice after many busy days at index. I would recommend picking up a copy of Brandon's guide book. They sell it at the big rock cafe which is more or less on the way. Quote
num1mc Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 No place better for combining climbing, shooting and just a tour de hill billy Quote
stamati Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 the drive up is spectacular too. i bet that'd be a rad place to camp out for a weekend and do some exploring. Quote
bwwakaranai Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Stoked to see people finally getting out there! There are some classic routes for sure. The initial slabby section of the formation has some pretty slick serpentine but the rest of the crag does have some decent friction doesn't it. Did you get the send on the project???!!! I've come really close but haven't linked the red-point yet... success with a couple falls. We were calling it Yin Dao because of the vagina like feature near the top that wants to spit you out. Beautiful sport route! Grade Erik??? If you havent done Xin, Red Panda, Outsourced, Unemployment Line, Idiot Box and Scrub Tech those are all great 11's outsourced maybe being 12. Potential for harder shit too ya'll! -Brandon Quote
Eric K Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 I definitely did not a send! I could link bottom to crux and crux to top, but could not climb through the crux. I have no idea how to grade routes but since I could get up it couldn't have been more than an easy 12. I will be back for sure. Let me know if you want a belay so you can show me how its done.
