I give Old School the most respect. That age had to be one of genuine adventure and romance. They were Tough people.

Great tr . It reminds me of when I first started exploring I rock It is a winter only thing, as things need to be glued in. Except for the toe-base area sport-rockclimbs which are summer only and dont have bolts yet. They are of high quality as well. It took me at least 6 or so attempts before I summited it in winter. It was too feathery along the ridge top mostly. It was hairball! Later I found out the walls below offer the most fun as the ice is firmer and the rock generally is too. I since have done 10or so new routes ,few of which I even summited on, as they would be grade 5 efforts if I had!!!!!. Just getting to the top of the west gable involves 3-4 solid pitches of hard mixed. It would still be 2 more after that to the summit!

That is a smokin fast time on that route good work man

The Seattle crew is different.Pub clubs have mostly the same 5-10 people with a few newbies each time. they have 8-30 people show up at pub clubs and the bbq and ropeup draws 60-80 people which blows me away that they all come out of the woodwork. I have lived in many places and have always apprececated the pdx gang over all comers. You are all so cool. It was Great to see all my old friends. I miss you all and you can always stay here at my north basecamp chill zone

did see any at Powells

There must have been 50 frickin people there! Lots of fun . The hosts were great to allow us to trash thier hous. How late did it go??

The locals like the obscurity to keep it from getting crowded. They made it very clear to Tim they didnt want any beta in his book. You could find a copy in the portland mazama library. I am lucky to have 2 of each of the printings. Why are climbers so anal about books?

I can do wednesday. I just need a time and a place so I can tell my friends

I would enjoy drinkin a couple with the Oregon gang next week. Whos got a good spot to go?

Saturday , Me and a friend are headed to Lambo, anyone else up for it? We can gang up on the Bag of Tricks. Such a great climb.

Do the 2 Rabbit ears for sure. I like Newts route on Bridge. Anything on the lower Menag. And of course THE MONSTER is out there!!!5.11b/c

There is a beauty of that show , I cannot describe. What is stranger still is.... I agree with the trask. I am scared

It was Alpine K chasing a hippie.

I too remmember the taste of their food. It is very good. A little spendy , but where else are you going to find bbq in that town. Breakfast at the lodge is good too.

So , Is the road open yet?I Looked at the site now and it says snowbound the last 2.5 mi. I dont know how long ago it was updated, anyone got info?

Carkeek is really cool idea , but I dont know about the drinking issue.I saw a sign near the playground covered picnic area that said no alcohol. Is there another area in the park that we could do it?

He added many other routes. He also deleted at least one, curiously.Where is mt Hardy?

Nonanon, did you go back and finish it? I forgot how classic it is.

My friends in Portland that have had contact with him say,..He constantly sent attacking email to holders of previous records, and AAC heads. He is veiwed with a shrug

Is this for real?

Attention Pdxers... Is there anyway we could do the June one on Tues or Wed ( the 3rd or 4th) ?I pmed Jeff and many other friends about it.Pass werd on to Drew. I am actually there to see my daughters. Thanx

Ok Thursday, June 5th it is PDXers! I will bring the Portland Posse!

The first week in June , I will be down. What day do you folks have it on?

Ive got an idea ..Start your very own Tacoma Pub Club. You could even be the "Dave Schuldt" of it

I have climbed there. Olson wrote a small guide to the place. It is very sweet with lots of potential. almost all face climbing
