Nice one potentially too far. Not sure where you are flying into or located. If that's in your driving range, here's one more that's stunning, the Hoh (spelling) river in the Olympics.

Depending on the climbing and skiing you like to do of course but Bend would have you well covered, but if I was picking I'd go Ellensberg or Leavenworth. It's said that Leavenworth has a high cancer rate, especially amongst children, as they spray pesticides etc on the apples (the orchards butt right up against town) pretty heavily and get some drift into town. If I was a pregnant woman I'd want to be elsewhere, but it's real nice town otherwise.

Good choice Arob. Another one is the Eagle creek trail off the freeway near Bonneville dam. Up to the waterfall/tunnelfalls underpass or 7 mile camp. Easy hiking, 14 mi round trip or turn around when ever, spectacular views. http://web.oregon.com/hiking/eaglecreek.cfm

It might be better to pass on it. If you are still raring to go, just park on the freeway, walk straight over towards it and as you approach you will see a shallow groove right in front of you. Make sure it's dry as this in on the N side and gets some moss accumulation. Climb this with minimal pro to the top. It's easier climbing but very little protection. There is a rap anchor up there but you might take some long slings in case they look bad. Don't toss your ropes over the train tracks when you rap. Rock on CM!

JH, if you've ever spent even a few seconds wondering why folks get upset and cranky with you: and incessantly ride you online, you have only to review this thread and our exchange to find the answer. Please spend some time reflecting on this. Regards Bill

Could be he caught Jim going at it with his hens, I can't speak for why JH chooses that path, but IMO it's wrong. Pretty simple here to me, you're either kicking Jim in the nutz and swimming upstream against what most folks are calling it, or you're onboard and not. For myself, like most people I'm on and I'd like to see everyone else all onboard and maybe we can avoid the usual drama.

Free double D sounds sweet, and soft...mmmmmmmmm double d's......mmmmmmm. Wish I been there for that TTS.

You mean you call it the Far Side. There are a lot of folks who did not appreciate you coming in a changing the name. Lets not forget it lay there for 20 years untouched before 2006 when the first crew (in 20 years) started cleaning and route setting. Then you and Jim showed up later and changed the name. Jim will probably state he called the the far side years ago. I suspect his memory is about as good as me climbing 5.12 these days. Screw you Kevin. I didn't change the name, I'm supporting Jim when I call it The Far Side. Why you want to show such disrespect is beyond me. The name is The Far Side, that's what most people call it. That's what Jim calls it. Did he do something bad to you that you would treat him this way? If you caught him banging your mom, dog or chickens I'll change my tone, but your attitude, IMO, is bullshit.

It's called the Far Side. That's what most of us call it. If anyone wants to call it something different, why not just go up and kick Jim in the nutz as I suspect he'd prefer that. Chad, I just heard October. (I'm very embarrassed to admit that I'd totally forgot about the new version/book coming out) I suspect he'll have some real good new stuff in there too. Maybe Tim will get on with an update. You doing laps tonight? I need to gently work my shoulder.

Nate called it right on P 2 of the Flying Dutchman. I think it was Eric and Mark Deffenbaugh FFA it. It might be that Eric TR'ed it first, but am not sure on that. Marks the guy to lay it out for us.

They both will be fucked, just like straights who have been getting reamed in the divorce process. Welcome, gay folks, to divorce court. Que up Mr. Hands post explaining man/horse love in 3...2...1....

Congrats Bouncy on surviving. I'm only posting as one of my signature lines anytime something strange or rude occurs to myself or a friend is very similar to your sign off up there: "Bad dawg, no biscuit", and so I have gotten some calls asking if I'm OK. To my friends, it wasn't me..............well...this time anyway. Now you can get back to washing the brown in your underwear out.....WOW!

Yeah, I believe so TTS. I could certainly see these catching anyone's attention JH. These were Aluminum and the metals were mixed, causing galvanic corrosion. As far as I know, Beacon had no aluminum hangers. You would have noticed it in the conversion to new stainless when you pulled the old stuff off. If they ever were any there, I suspect they are long gone with your new stuff. So not something thing to worry over I believe. Kong has not made aluminum hangers for years as far as I know.

Climbmax has the miniguides. You have to go there for the info. A selection of mostly easy bolted routes. I ask only that you don't give out directions, but let folks go get one from them. Trying to repay a favor to those folks. Thanks. Climbmax Mountaineering 928 NE 28TH Ave. Portland, OR 97232 * Have fun, be safe! Bon appetit!

No, this part. He was not fired Rob. He resigned as it says in the post above where you put this one. The reason for the resignation seems clear as well. Here it is reposted. Take care

You've mentioned the Index bolt failures about 3 times now. Are you referring to these bolt hanger failures?

Well, the bros renamed the place Coethedral, it's @ 55 miles from Portland city limits and it's primarily bolted climbing. Route lists and directions are available at Climbmax Mountaineering. Anyone wants to do some new routes, I'd estimate that there are at least 150-200 more routes available.

You're not going to punch yourself in the balls like he says? LOL! Nice call! Me either. Bush handed the man a 700 billion dollar hole and said, have a nice day I'm out of here. How fucked up is that? President Obama needs to get government programs and government spending under control without crashing our economy. There is no larger issue for us and our country IMO. Who the hell wants another borrow and spend Republican in there when we haven't dug out from the last one. In fact, it's appears that it's been a borrow and tax and spend democrat that took over means little to your kids who will be paying the bill for all of this. Hope and change means not having this tired old Bush and Obama drunken borrowing and spending shit continue. I doubt the health care bill which will be coming online soon will help there and I expect it's the reverse, but pulling us out of needless wars in the middle east will. As will tightening up our energy usage to match supply so we don't have to send fine men like you to fight in stupid-assed needless wars Mike. I still believe in hope and change, but I'm thinking along the lines of balancing the budget and taming our trade imbalance. Take that bitchez!! It looks like Ariana Huffington's one year love affair with him is over now. So at least she won't have to hit herself in the balls. Perhaps once she starts seeing her personal tax bill increase, while we all dig a deeper financial burden hole for her kids to suffer under, she'll see the light too. I'm not talking about someone like Bush coming in and spending us into hell and making a new hole either. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/memo-to-americas-middle-c_b_686820.html

TRY reading the words immediately above you for a clue Rob LOL! I can loan you my little square purple reading glasses if you need them. I'd be afraid that if I just copied and pasted the words would wouldn't read them. Good luck with that

Larry could you clarify what you mean by this post?

Hey, the back of my head is getting raw! Crap, I simply must have forgot the smiley face that indicated I knew what was on but was making a joke (2 jokes) about it. Also see my current "Obama is a Muslim" comments HAH (it was a joke as well)! However, I got the happy face in there that time! LOL! You forgot I posted this ship while complaining about our invasion of Asscrackistan after the Taliban had rejected our oil pipeline proposal....CR being a board member of Chevron, having taken George Schultzes place on the board? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_P._Shultz a couple years back? I remember. Oh yeah, I remember. In fact, all Americans including big mouth hypocrites like jb who participates in and benefits from this, should be happy when driving their big SUV's that the first public work project we were able to get approval on from the new democratic government in Asscrackistan was the new Oil Pipeline! Maybe it cost a few lives but god forbid we try conservation. Woot! Let me toss another one in there Hmm, seriously, I have respect for Dr Rice, even for Hillary who is doing the job these days, and more for Colin Powell. Furthermore, BO did get the CAFE standards raised, and seems to understand the worlds out of control energy needs and the coming crisis which is related to BOTH SUPPLY AND DEMAND Wish the last guy had been aware of both of those....anyway, good man for doing the right thing. I think he even knows that we NEED TO GET OUR OUT OF CONTROL GOVERNMENT AND GOVERNMENT SPENDING UNDER CONTROL OR WE WILL ALL BE LIVING IN JB MOMS BASEMENT WITH JB. Did I say that out loud? Opps. Thats all, and what time is it SOBO? Beringer time! Woot! Glass #2!

OMG! Whats Bush doing with Obamas wife? Is that Arab tongue about to snake in there? WT hell?

DMM Anarchist Ice Tools $142.50 each http://www.climbmaxmountaineering.com/dealoftheday.html woot!!

Map maker, but maybe both:-)

Nope, it's cause he's a Muslim.
