Index, yes Washington has more and more GOODZ

'Leggo My Ego V7'
'Box Car Arete V8'
Here is the deal, Washington just keeps delivering with good granite and totally unpredictable weather. Brian Boyko, Hayden and myself bunced out of the Seattle metro thrutch to get our selves to some known and lesser known bouldering in Index. Index is rad trad climbing wall area that is very similar to Squamish. As is the case with most granite crags that I know of there are great boulders at the base, just think Squamish with better granite and few people around. I was mega psyched to climb on these boulders that seemed to create amazing moves as well as holds. I climbed something called 'Leggo-My-Ego' which was probably V6 and V8. After which we took a look at the boulder on/in the river that resembled Swizzy river blocks and was shown around around by this rad dude named Joel. Then it started to rain and it looked as though the day was over but we hungout with some super friendly guys Mike and Cole and the rain stopped. We climbed the 'Box Car Arete V8'  while it was very wet still. We all did it, but at the point in which you are standing and must make a beached whale like top out Boyko and I decided that our climbing futures were worth just to much and bizzzounced. Another rad day and now I am staying with Mr. Graham Zimmerman and his loving family and hopefully will be climbing outside again very soon.
