now that the winter's set in, has anyone been up there? i know they'd closed the trail after the fire, but w/ snow on the ground i can't see there being too much issue going up to the n side that way now - any tracks/blazes to follow? is the warming shelter open?

great pix

sounds like it, though i never saw a shrub there - this pic might help - chekc out the larger version in my gallery - it follows that left trending fault in the blank, overhanging-ness above the lolp ledge - note in this picture the massive block by my right foot - that ended up smashing a tree at the base and stopping 2 feet shy of the tracks, where it made a most pleasing and distinctive ringing sound on metal - kyle and bill were down there to prevent the zombie apocalypse though the indian side in the mist

funny - joshk did essentially the same dumbass thing this summer crossing the n fork of bridge creek to get to goode - the main difference being that i was calling him a dumbass for doing it through the entire throwing process a careful eye in the background will show the 1 trango of josh's that actually managed to cover the distance

does kinda look like doc finkelstein from nighmare b4 xmas though, no?

does this mean i might see some more product for my ducats?

after this weekend the route's finally ready for a complete FA - the old fixed pin i had reached was the end of the pioneers attempt back in the age of the dinosaurs, based on the jungle i chopped out and the mega-boulders i cast down like the soddomites of old - a fine anchor is found just past the former death-blocks, past the old fixed pin w/ my bail sling on it (the old-skewl biner i've left hanging on it is quite the relic too ) - you'll have to bring the second up at the anchor, then you have a wild, overhanging final 15 feet to gain walk-off (albeit crazy moss-encrusted) ground on over to "uprising" thinking the final name oughta be "it takes a village" given the contribution of the nameless first folks many decades ago who started the line, then larry and geoff who repeated it, plus bill n' kyle who provided their own important contributions saturday land of the little people, properly viewed portrait of the artist as a young man plenty of blood on my pants after becomign massive hand-wound harry

another cause of decline - posting huge fucking pictures!

holy shit, i bet that was it! guess it don't pay to fight littering? :lmao:

or the intro to the climbing appendix for "lord of the flies"

wtf? seems like they were a day late on the real bombs being dropped a bomb would probably be the only thing that could get that place clean - maybe when they rebuild it they can fix the fucking sink in the men's room?

good info moof and glad we didnt' kill you! you should come check out our new line b4 the park closes - think we're gonna go w/ the uber-gay "it takes a village" moniker as it is most appropos

Look what someone used to wake up to. goddamn i love that pic - thanks for saving it dave - from your person personal spank-bank, no?

we should contact that guy who had the chick who climbed hotel walls and get her to sign the fuck up!

won't someone please think about the children?

porter's avatar mostly makes me want to urk

where are the snowdens of yester-year?

can we turn it into a theme-park afterwards? there's some potential for cool rides/attractions, no? don't forget to bring your towel!

the anger and causes are irrelevant currently - the problems need to be fixed, and now...not that i'm in a position to do a damn thing about it. in the absence of a solution, i'd very much like my country not to sell weapons to either side though.

where was that anyhow? kinda looks like broughtons?

a soloist device sure would bitch a lot less, eh?

if you live in pdx-area though you can avail yourself of the 3 short weeks left to climb at beacon rock before the birdies get it fir humping all winter/spring! sounds like it should be sunny this weekend too! look out though, i'm planning on kicking off a few giant boulders on saturday

nah, i'd never wanna endanger my own right to off my kid for pissing me off - gotta salute the originality of this particuliar approach - oh well, a few fewer meat puppets in the fucking world...
