Boring, looks like a dude with too much money. Where's the climbing?

New problems of all grades DAILY would be nice. Pleasant staff. Cut your members slack-injury. Oh, and keep the hard boulder problems for me to pretend like I can almost get and make Ireneo feel feeble nad inadequate.

Rob, first I would recommend not using the newer metolious chalk with antipersperant. If you are already not doing that well, there's just not much else you can do. Those leathery hands are your badge of courage. My girlfriend had to give up nails to climb too. Get used to it. Feel lucky that your hands aren't like mine that are constantly peeling layers of skin off. Oh, and those of you that propose using little or no chalk, you should understand that some of us have a plethora of sweat glands in our hands and we suck without the chalk.

Hey Layton, Here's a place you might find an "exercise" partner. Exercise buddies 4 Layton

Portland Running Co also has weekly runs that start from their stores.

I don't know what you heard about the weather being dry but there are a few places where you can climb out of the weather too. The classic crack area at Broughton will stay dry even in the rain as it is overhung but beware that "easy 5.9" crack around there. Rocky butte is the easiest access but if the weather is truly going to be good you should head up to Beacon and do the SE corner.

Nice Ice pic

I don't give a flip if you want to lose weight, get into the gym more, or add on to your house. What are you going to CLIMB this next year. Me 1) Solo an El Cap wall 2) Tick off Liberty bell, Thin Red line and other stuff up in the N. Cascades 3) Put up some new lines at Beacon, Indian Creek, and other undisclosed locations 4) Freeclimb (Yos)The Rostrum, Astroman, (Smith)Sunshine Dihedral, (Index) Jap Gardens 5) Colchuck Balanced Rock

Climbers are singled out in the park. I try to be as squeeky clean as possible (aside from poaching a nights stay in C4) Next time I am down there I might "accidentally spill honey down the crack in a ranger-car." Let the bears do my dirty work. Mmwwhahahahahahaha

Heel claws just make it unsporting though, not to mention tailgrabbing.

You just say, "Oh, I'm with that new mag. .the Ascentionist"

Mr.E, Alpine Fox, F U2 ok, have fun and take pics of the prana tops

Proof Layton's ancestors are Dutch

13+ trad would make sharma shit on his karma.

I like to think of it as finger-injury-recovery-season

Way to enjoy a rather crappy weekend in PDX.

I choose to run and still have viable sperm.

Potrero chico is a nice place but you can leave your trad gear at home. There is very little as far as trad there and the rock is pretty friable too. There is another "secret" spot to the east of Monterrey known to locals as El Salto. It is up in the mountains and has some very Thailand-like climbing in caves and such. You don't need a car around monterrey but take your gas mask as it makes LA's smog problems seem trivial.

I lead it but didn't get the onsite. You can get pretty good pro in but it is hard to get over to see it at the crux. I think it'll go with another try or two.

I believe that they are supposed to have the same strength as the red and yellow. You just have to make sure that the lobes are set correctly as there is less of a camming range.

Yesterday- Mike Layton and I had a perfect day at Beacon. Damn that pipeline is pumpy! Should have come Joeseph.
