Stillwater: The spiritual capital of the climbing community

 Stillwater is a very special place. I could explain why, but it's easier just to post a few photos. Colin referred to the area as the spiritual capital of the climbing community - and with good reason. All it takes is one visit to understand what he meant.

 The entire area includes some forest bouldering, the beautiful casual sea-side trad cliff Moss Mountain, the Catcheratcha wall that literally comes straight out of the ocean, and of course the highball bouldering sea-side paradise of The Stacks, which you can read about in one of my previous posts.

  These photos inspired me to do an area profile photo series when the season starts up again - It will be a big project and likely take more than one season, but I'm looking forward to the challenge.
