Off_White Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 With the upcoming time change, Wednesday evening climbing in Tenino is back. This weekly event will start Wednesday April 5th, from 4:30 on, and continue until the fall. Climbs range from 5.9 to 5.12. PM me if you have questions or need directions.
CPOly Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 I can't help but reply. This is an unbelievably excellent place to climb. Quality climbing, unique individuals, and controlled technical movement make this an awesome environment. If you have the desire to improve your climbing, this is the place to do it. Hope to see you there!
mattp Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 That belay seat is awesome! Are those available as a kit?
Off_White Posted March 31, 2006 Author Posted March 31, 2006 Yeah, it kind of puts a butt bag to shame, doesn't it?
slothrop Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Wow, looks like I gotta make a trip to Oly to "visit my girlfriend's family" soon!
andyf Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Thanks OW! I'm going to try and make it more this year.
olyclimber Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 I would be totally down if I had anything to do with Olympia. Unfortunately I am not from Olympia, I do not live in Olympia, I never wanted to live in Olympia, I have never lived in Olympia, I've only been to Olympia a few times, and the only person I know in Olympia is Off_White. I'm simply not associated with Olympia. I live in Seattle, which, while in the same state as Olympia, is not Olympia. It is a completely seperate city. Before then, I lived on the Olympic Peninsula, which is spelled similiarly to Olympia, but is not Olympia either. It can be confusing, and if it is to you use this chart: Olympia does NOT equal Olympic Peninsula I'll try to come down there sometime this summer and climb that place out, but since I'll be scooping all the women, most likely I won't be popular. I'm just warning you.
CPOly Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 That's perfect, 'cause the crag's actually in Tenino.
CPOly Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 The weather was primo here in Olympia today, should be better tomorrow. Hope to see some folks out at the crag crankin' tomorrow.
Drederek Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Anyone get the FA of "The bolted where did that flake go?" yet????????
treknclime Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 PM'd Off_White...he's prolly busy. Directions to the crag?
benmitchell17 Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 PM'd Off_White...he's prolly busy. Directions to the crag? like to show up as well, any info?
Off_White Posted April 5, 2006 Author Posted April 5, 2006 Looks good for tonight, I'll send out a round of directions via PM.
Off_White Posted April 19, 2006 Author Posted April 19, 2006 UPDATE: 4/19/06 Things look alright for tonight, though notably Hercules is too wet, and there is some dampness on top for a few routes. Any of you regulars have a cordless drill? Mine's down for a battery rebuild, and I have some anchor work I'd like to do.
Drederek Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Things were great last nite, Off! The rock is so grippy this time of year. Everything seems just a little bit easier than on those hot summer nites. Plenty of daylight to get 6-8 pitches in. A grand start to the season!
Off_White Posted April 26, 2006 Author Posted April 26, 2006 Looks great for tonight. There's a new dedicated anchor for Squirt Theory, but watch out for drill dust at the top if you lead it. I also put in a directional for a new project right of Calvin & Hobbes, I'll set up a rope when I get there (probably not until 5:30 for me tonight)
Off_White Posted May 3, 2006 Author Posted May 3, 2006 5/3/2006 Update: The left side is now dry, the only wet routes are four in the vicinity of the central drainage. Team Ropegun, Ed and Duke, are down in Red Rocks this week.
Off_White Posted May 31, 2006 Author Posted May 31, 2006 5/31/06 Chance of rain this afternoon, but odds are things will be fine. The cliff is surprisingly dry considering the recent rains.
Off_White Posted June 5, 2006 Author Posted June 5, 2006 6/5/06 - Squeezed in a little climbing last week before the rain shut us down. Prognosis looks good for this week, but I'll be out of town. Ya'll have fun, okay?
miladugga Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Merde, sorry you won't be there Off. I'm hoping to get there anytime from 3:30 on, but without partner. Anybody else getting there early?
Off_White Posted June 15, 2006 Author Posted June 15, 2006 Another great night, dodging the rain. Thank you all.
dom Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 hi all, i'm new to olympia from scotland and would love to check out this crag, but i don't have a car. Is there anyone in olympia that would be willing to give me and my girlfriend a ride down on wednesday (21st) or next wednesday? We would be very grateful and would pitch in with gas money. Hope to see you guys down at the crag soon! dom
