Oct 22, 2024 Preparing my annual mid winter troll post/ petition to re-name Vantage to Exit 143 View Message

Oct 20, 2024 As others have mentioned, Lemmon is more of a mountain range than a "climbing area". With over 3,000 routes spread over 27 miles and 7k of elevation it can take a bit of time (… View Message

Jul 12, 2023 The sport in Squamish is really fun, and I think that's probably the right call here as far as bang for your buck especially if you haven't been before. Unfortunately every cli… View Message

Jun 8, 2023 The downside of the river side spots is you're equally close to the river of traffic on highway 12. Human waste is beginning to be an issue there as well, so have a plan for pa… View Message

Nov 27, 2022 This thread is like the internet version of leaves changing. It's a sure fire indicator that climbing season is over and internet debating season is on. View Message

Nov 27, 2022 What's vantage? are you talking about the climbing area known as Exit 143? View Message

Oct 10, 2022 Ideal, no. Climbable, certainly. Monsoons can bring pretty amazing temperature swings, but they come at the cost of humidity. Spent dozens of days out there and the Dry and bot… View Message

Feb 5, 2022 Great question, there's a fair bit of potential (and existing bouldering) in the Star Pass area. Quickest access to Boulders would be via the Sarasota trail, easiest from town… View Message

Jan 25, 2022 La Grande locals have done a rather good job about keeping their crags under the radar for decades. There is certainly no shortage of rock in the area. As others mentioned, fid… View Message

Jan 12, 2021 10/10 would lower-off that "ugly" anchor any day. Frankly I think the two feet of shiny stainless chain is much more of an eyesore than this. View Message
