    Alpental

    in Climbing Partners

    Posted

    Sorry for the confusion Von Spanker, I was commenting on Korups post. I think IIB has assumed Alpental isn't gonna be open, and is thinking about the ice routes in the ski area, not hoping the lifts will be open (sadly, that's probably another storm away). Sure, avy will be a concern - doubt they'd bother with control before the area opens. . .

     

    Word up to that...

    I am teaching climbing to the kiddies at stone gardens again which means I have my membership again which mean I am training to get back in shape which means I need to do vertical laps which means I need someone to climb with in the evenings.

     

    PM me.

    There were snow flurries last week. Today the temp is barely hitting 70, and it's supposed to get cooler. That doesn't mean that June will be cool, but June isn't far off either.

    If you have a jones for aiding, the Coffin Roof is spectacular, though very easy. Otherwise, pick a crack and get on it.

     

    Tell Me more about coffin roof?

    Our destination is salt lake city, but we are going to leave the city and go climbing/camping somewhere. Of course, the closer to SLC the better cause less driving=climbing time, but I am willing to drive cause zion is the shit. Basically I am trying to pool as much info as possible so I can get some climbing in no matter what happens.

    I am going to Utah the first week of June and would like to do some aid and free climbing. I know it's hot as shit there, but is it going to be too hot? Are there any reccomendation of area that might get partial shade.

     

    I don't have a lot of time and not going to do a wall, but would like to get on some aid routes. Any reccomendations? And maybe some easy(ish) solo aiding (I haven't scrounged any partners yet)?

     

    Bouldering is also an option.

     

    Thanks for any beta as I don't know shit about utah.

    Acropolis. Not in downtown PDX. On west side of 99 south.

     

    I've never been there, but I used to live near there.

    Well, yes Acropolis has the steak and strippers and it's technically not downtown. But there are plenty of places that are good in downtown.

    perfect weekend

    Who said I turned out "all right"?

     

    Sphinx did, you idiot! What, did you forget your Ritalin today or something? Try to keep up, dude; we can't be taking up your slack all the time.

    Wow, you musta had a boring childhood.

    Give me a break. Rocks are fun, although you may consider it boring. I spent Thursday nights every week doing lapidary work all through High School. It was fun and interesting and required quite a lot of skill and a good eye.

     

    Um, yeah, I rest my case. Did you also collect stamps and chair the chess club?

     

    Hmmm, I spent thursday nights gettin' drunk, stoned and partyin' with chicks. But boy, I'd trade it all for lapidary work. the_finger.gif

    freshly broken already

    buying a geode is like buying sex, it shows you can't find any yourself tongue.gif

    Dru, you're still bustin' my chops ;-). Ever since I was a kid, I've dreamed of hunting geodes. Unfortunately that was in California and I never found the time to go to Oregon to hunt for them.
