You Go B-whackers!!

Wow ,Too bad, but what a life that guy had!

Am I the only one getting bored with these type threads?I guess it is what we do when the weather is a bucket of ass! They dont suck that bad. I actually like the threads , I just need to go climbing man.

The melt out actually helped the Dagger party today. Lane retrieved a rope that got stuck on the last rapplel we did. It had tied a perfect overhand knot in the abalkov anchor as it was being pulled through. he went up yesterday and got the brand new rope back. Thanks Mister

The number of the ups-side-down beast!I now have 999 posts, is this where I am supposed to be a spoiled brat and quit posting altogether?

On Brogans Spire, there are some abandoned free projects that provide some safe yet dicey nail ups. Just to the right of Great Roof. Masonary nails reccomended. Also just right of Spiderman route

I wanna go back to Packistan! Any takers? I would like to one up K1. Around here , I would like to steal a few of Laytons projects and a couple of my own: New rt on either Sloan , fingers, (undisclosed), Girth, Tor-Forbidden, Gunsight, I-rock, Black Spider, Index, ...You get the idea. This should be a great year to be a climber again!

Loved your poem , Mike but you were in Washington at the time I believe. We are showing Black Dagger photos at the Madrone Wall benefit (See event thread or Oregon thread)

thnx all, it was weet! Like you say, you can only do what your buddy is willin to pull. To great partners{cheers}!

Marcus D and friend did it last friday, its in this thread.

With the Columbia River Gorge in shape Portlanders have no excuse

Got the big daddy today. Black Dagger was incredible. 5 pitches IV+- WI5+ -M4 .550 feet. It is the one picture on this this thread that was unidentified. I didnt want to attract attention to since it was in our sites. It was the best ice climb either of us had done. The position was out of this world! If Lane can figure out his camera he will post some photos.It is listed in Portland Rock Climbs as "Black Diamond" (potenial) Get after it Portland , this doesnt happen very often

Hope to tell you all about the "Big Daddy" tomorrow night.

Saw you get up the great Ainsworth Falls today. The top of the route conditions were chandy when I got 20 feet from the top a decade ago. It was a highly sought after route and I raise my glass high to you guys! We are going after the big Daddy tommorrow

The anonymous climber who did Challenger in a day and the Furys in winter

There can be up to 10 routes on the left side of the main rock climbing area. To date only one or two have been led. Fast Lane is a 5+ in the middle. I have been there many times. It is steep and intimidating but very tr able

There is no ice climbing in PNW
