Trip: Illumination Rock, Rime Dog - Date: 4/7/2012 Trip Report: Faced with a 1 day weather window, and deep snow in the mountains, Beau ( his tr ) and I headed for the friendly alpine playground of Illumination Rock. We did the most reliable and fun route on the sunny South Face of the I-Rock, It is a route I named after my girlfriends late pet: Rime, a Scottish Deerhound. I had done the route a couple of times before, it is worth repeating for sure. It offers 4 short pitches of outstanding easy mixed climbing at a moderate angle. It also now has a rap anchor at the finish that gets you most of the way down to the South Chamber with a single rope rappel. We had a blast! More photos, beta here Laytons Trip Report Gear Notes: couple of screws, cams, stoppers, pickets

Nice, but why rock paper sissor with Redman right there?

Now available online, and yes my "rule breaking" led to all of those children dying. OPB_Mt Hood

Looks good, been wondering when we would see some pixels. Thanks Tim

Could be something Yoder would exploit. Ask him on fbook. I saw some decent rock, we need a gondola up there. The mixed potential is out of this state type good. Washington's Hyalite.

Trip: Smithereens 4 classics - Date: 3/9/2012 Trip Report: So nice to return to my homeland to catch a wed-sat window of 70 degree temps, ahhh. Nobody was there mid-week so my stories of prana-top heaven to my 1st visit partner, didnt hold true, The raving about the routes did however, as we bagged 20+ pitches with 4 multi-pitch classics bagged. Warming up on Zebra Zion? Maybe in mid season, that 1st lead is a grind! We did enjoy Sky Ridge, Wherever I Roam/Unforgiven, and rounded it out with Monkey Face. After a great ice season, I am stoked to bring on the rock! More on blog of course.

Nice Radek, what an experience!

skis, should have bought a snowmobile

Just did the 2nd ascent of this quality route. Very fun. Good job Bryan! Maybe I am gettin old but WI5?

There are a couple of variations on it, the left side doesnt look too bad, most of the difficulties are on the top out. I had to do a rare pendulum to get from the right to the last gully.

The above stuff is still for sale, plus a Big Agnes Savery 20 Degree Primaloft bag, used on 1 trip. $100 http://www.amazon.com/Big-Agnes-Savery-PrimaLoft-Sleeping/dp/B001AZ5CCK

Wow another classic thread in the making! As I appreciate art, natural vistas, and redemption I am torn on the issue. I was just enjoying the petroglyphs in Utah, the arial shot of Monkey Face, the effort of the expression, and now the responses of the different parties. Fascinating stuff. I do hope the eagles rebound, hard to say the cause. Climbing has always fought against its nature to be free, and the need for rules of conduct.

Nice job team! I know I will keep going back for more. The problem is that I have to go back to the US. Good to see some better tools in that gals hands.

I cant get the member code to work. Any ideas?

I got most of the way up it, It is not the most solid rock.There is some good rock on the lower benches, but prolly not worth the big hike.
