What is the preferred city to fly to Buenos Aries or Santiago?How do you get to use you air miles to do it? What is the airline to get to punta areis? Any help is greatly appreciated. Is it worth booking in advance?

Right On! Erden is stoked I always have a link on my site too

About as long as it would take to go to Smith, or a little less. The road may need to melt away and check for bird closures? it is just past Upper Soda. The Monster in the Woods By the same author!

That is a Tim Olson photo, Contact him if you would like to use it? I will pm you with his email Found an example of it I cant believe the highway dept was considering building a road to the to the top of that thing way back when!! No Sh-t, I am serious.

Maybe not if we are talking about the same Tommy, I think he is traveling some where else

Cool Radek, Now about the Mazama article...Is it available to post? sorry for being such a circle fly.

No this is on a weekend to weekend count that I arbitrarily started on last one.

Just stirring it up here. If we started counting last weekend, it would be O-1 , Oregon

The rest of the entries werent there? I am not known for having the best memory, Did I give them to Jeff? I thought I left everything there. Weird. So was it just a single page in there?

I believe the summit rap is a slung horn. There is also one slung at the top of the West Gable. All raps can get buried, So creativity and lots of cord is a good idea

So did you do a direct finish to the 1965 Bill Cummins route? Here is the thread from a while back Updated my Oregon Page Every ascent of that thing is a new route! ..And whats next? Have all the Nightmare Choss Formations been climbed it this decade? Just thought of one, but cant tell you what it is....

The answer is obvious, though thank you for asking the online community . The Rappel bolts on the N Ridge are maybe between 30-50 years old?.This area will see more traffic. Being the former"Jim Opdy k"Of the place, I feel it is best to replace the bolts,Thank You if you are offering to do so, Wayne

Jeez the Ultimate Oregon Weekend . 2 Amazing Trip Reports from the the South Pwnd! You guys are putting us Shtonians to shame! I have been shouting so loud about this place, no one has heard me. My word on the 40 year old bolts,....,,,(wait for it......) PLEASE!!!

Wow !! (!!) Congratulations! You got it guys and gals! I knew someone was. There was such a buzz about this thing,> There were others looking at that thing too. Dang glad it went well. Very happy to see Mr. Thomas in on the shenanigans. I am now clear on the differences between your line and the Darr. I am looking at this as one of the all time trip reports from Oregon, Thanks for doing us proud and ALWAYS be careful on that crap! Wayne ps, I would like to post a link of this story on my site if you please, pps, And Jeff,please, is there a way to get the Mazama Article posted on-line?

That is really funny, Thanks Portner

Bushes previous 911 knowledge.

the guy I climbed with last weekend has the wa state record of short jumping at 70 meters. I know that makes me pretty cool.

Why does this really matter. The guy is a hardman and thats said, cut him some slack. He is one of the adventurous guys trying to push himself. I have respect for anyone trying to do better and willing to talk about it

It was ski edges shearing off the ice screws.

its about to get alot harsher

Dont get me wrong. You dont want to carry a monster pack with t-shoes. They are part of the ultra-light thing. Your pack should weigh less than 30lbs,

Ok, Now I have to say something. How long are you planning on traveling in snow, And how steep? That is what I feel it comes down to. So it is a seasonal( early---> Boots) Or a technical/ light / late-season thing---> Tennis shoes

MarkO! Nice that you got out, I didnt see this post till now, I so would have called you, I killed it both days, Amazing to get such great powder this late in the year.
