Hey, first time I did OS 10 yrs ago, I carried a pack AND bivied in the descent gully. It ruled!

The route is 12 100' pitches and goes at 11b, it's called Restless Natives. The 11b crux is on the last pitch and can easily be yarded through on 2 closely spaced bolts, making the route 10+ A0. It is a fun outing although I doubt it will ever have a waiting line. Wear your helmet particularly if there is a party ahead of you. The Promised Land, a few hundred yards to the right of Restless Natives, is also a decent 10+ 2 (3?) pitch route. (I think Bryan bolted an approach pitch that eliminates the low 5th class scramble.) I climbed it before it was retroed and it was mildly frightening, but I'm pretty sure Bryan has "sport bolted" it since. Have fun in Mazama! plenty!

Still agreeing...

Although I may at times share certain characteristics to a dirtbag, I am more of a dirtball. I have always considered a dirtbag to be another name for a hackysack. on!

Szyjlnvbknstyurbski- I utilize a number of locals oh-so-often, but they do have families and I am a dirtball.

Truest thing you ever said. Retro and slap agreeing WHOA!! I like it I'm still climbing granite at my double secret crag in icicle canyon and you two havn't found me yet Don't get your panties all moist there, dickhead, you won't catch us agreeing on much, rest assured. and what makes you think I haven't already been to/know about your "double secret" crag? Suzy-blahblahpolishsound- For the most part I agree that the Icicle doesn't need more buildings. However, it would be nice to have a cheaper climber/boater/mt.biker venue that offered primitive camp sites and a small bunkhouse with showers, that was privately owned and run. The property doesn't lend itself to any huge structures, if it did, it would have been snatched up long ago. You are right, there are seemingly endless ideal spots that can be camped at for free (I have utilized many), but do you really think that is such a great idea? How many spots like the recently improved one at Mad Meadows (four huge benches, LARGE fire pit, stacks of firewood, tarps) do you think it will take before we aren't allowed to camp for free at all? It wasn't that long ago that it was "ok" to camp anywhere you wanted to up the Icicle. I know your from there and I understand your desire for no more new buildings but not all of us can live there and make ends meet so we have to rely on different means. The current established camping sucks.

Truest thing you ever said.

Three years ago my lady at the time and I bought a box of small rubber snakes at a garage sale. We left them on ledges and holds on local crag climbs. I also stashed a small ceramic bubbler in a very "noteworthy feature" in Leavenworth, twas still there last time I checked. (last fall) If you find it, it is packed, feel free to indulge but kindly leave it for the next lucky finder, it's not really booty. I will be checking on it soon, enjoy.

Been there, done that.

Where? Not on Indian land if that's what your refering to.

No.

Last hint: It can be seen from the road but takes nearly five hours to get to the base.

Weeds? Cars? What are you talkin about? A bit of moss and lichen perhaps but that's character building.

And take all the fun out of guessing? Fine. Tis East of the crest.

Beep!

Children!

If you be refering to my pic, the answer is nope, not even close.

As far as I know this obvious dihedral has no name. Crackbolter and I did it last year hoping it hadn't been climbed, but someone beat us to it. (Pete Doorish ?) Anyone know it's location?

I don't know what it's called but I do know where it is. Of course when I've seen it, it was mostly buried in snow and I had my snowboard on my back.

Ignorance has certainly developed you into a mental/moral giant...
