5.9+ slathered in thick heaping layers of greasy shoe rubber(mine included)and more than ample amounts of chalk, as climbers, thrash, thrutch, smear and whine their way to the anchors. It might be .9 when it's clean and your on TR, but at this time of year it's .10 strong(even on TR), then try and lead it without getting spit to the deck before you can place your first piece high enough. Still a fun route even with all that.

Eeeggggzactly! "Classic Crack" a true sandbaggers delight...5.9...yeah, whatever!

Beacon seems fairly consistant with the grades. Broughton on the other hand is all over the board.

JK knows all about being a human stick clip, we all saw him in action last weekend.

Oh how I wish I could, unfortunately she aint much of a climber. Last summer I took her down to Smith to try a little bolted tuft. She took 1 hour to struggle/flail up "Lichen it" (.7) just to get to the anchors and discover that she is afraid of heights (unkown fear). After 2 hours of nurturing, pleading and some serious thought of running out some slack and pushing her off, she was willing to lower down. So the likelyhood of getting her to Beacon...probably not to high.

Wish I could B-rock, but I got a honey-do list a mile long. No play for me

when did you have in mind? Running "race for the cure" Sunday AM, but am free after that. (I think)

I concur, I would be into a day of that, say when.

Seems a little silly that they would post their retailers plan like that. Now everybody can see how bad their getting jacked per issue.

I was setting up on Lions jaw when you guy's were starting your climb. Very smooth, the two of you worked well together and it seemed like the climb went pretty quickly for you. Nice job, that's one I would really like to get on. I need bigger cajone's to get over the exposure.

Hear, Hear... as B-rock say's. A very special thanks to Tim and Becky for allowing such a groups as ours to descend on their home, feed us, beer us and all around make us feel at home. Many routes were climbed, some hard, some easy and a few group projects were tried by all. It was definately nice to have multiple ropeguns: JKrueger, Funguy, Cletus, well basically everybody who was there except me. Very glad to meet a few more Oregon CC.com'rs. Thanks go out to everyone, I had a great time and look forward to some more climbing with folks. In the mean time.. on!

I was talking with the head ranger on sunday before we left. Apparently "Heinrich Becky" has made quite the name for himself among the locals. It would seem the "Heinrich" is somewhere in the canyon everyday. At least twice a week he is seen climbing with his wife, who can apparently follow anything that "Heiny" can lead which according to the rangerman is in the area of .10d. To quote: "Eeff doo tink dat von vas goot, try dis von, ets da same only harder! Now gimme a bulay yah?"

Very nice pictures. Looks like you had great weather and some sweet climbing.

Most of those are hard to say when you're sober.

Ssssaaaaawweeett!! Can't wait, I got the count down going. T-minus 3 hours before I'm on the road. Looking forward to a good ol' fasioned CJ. I think I'll be listening to a little Metalica.

No!, this is a Motley crew! [ 09-04-2002, 12:42 PM: Message edited by: sketchfest ]

I hear tell that there could be some other P-towners coming. Possibly, Funguy and Shredmaximus along with a local who's not internet accesable.

Yeah the cache tells me a lot, but I reeaaally like the looks of the spying software. Me thinks to get me some O dat!

What's wrong with sasquatch? Everyone in the great NW knows that the "Quatch" is real. Ever been to Tolgate? Everybody in that town is a member of the "Sasquatch is real" club. I'm pretty sure most of them are directly related.

How do you do that?

I wish I could, unfortunately, I am supposed to be the boss today and set the good example by being here untill the end of the day.. Sorry, just whining!

Looks like a poor cut and paste job to me!

AAARRRGGHH!!! CAANN'TT FOCUS...DAY TO LONG..5:00..TO..FAR...AA-WAY! WORK...SUCKING GIGANTIC HORESCOCK...MUST RESIST TEMPTATION TO END IT ALL NOW...HAPPY THOUGHTS, HAPPY THOUGHTS, LONG WEEKEND, MUCH CLIMBING TO BE DONE.....BEER GOOD!

If your interested and need a second, I would be up for something of that nature.

Iain, When are you thinking about giving this a try?
