I met Peter and Lauren at the base of Outer Space last week and we did not all get to the top til 8.30p. I just wanted to say we made it down OK. If you added some cairns, thanks. I was never hurting for direction.

Hello all.
It has been some time since I have graced these halls. This is a big year for me. I am turning 50 next month and this year also marks half my life as a climber, so I have been planning the Big Five Oh Birthday Extravaganza since last year. I will be working only 6 days in July and climbing the rest of the time. First stop will be Touloume from 6/28 - 7/6. Fairview Dome is first on the list with Regular Route and Lucky Streaks and probably Great Pumpkin. Lots of others on the list with a full week of climbing.
The second stop is the one I am having troubles with. I can travel after work on Tuesday, but need to be back early Saturday for my birthday party. I was planning on Donner Pass, but the flights do not fit my schedule so I am looking for options and partners for 3 solid days of climbing. Oh, and it needs to be granite and preferrably long. I will drive almost anywhere and will be departing out of pdx. A few destinations I could think of include Green Giant Buttress, Static Point and even though the climbs are short, City of Rock. I would be open to other options if you have a plan. Any one interested, just let me know.
The 15th - 20th and 23rd - 27th will likely be in WA climbing with my son who has just moved back here from GA, but I may head back to the high sierras too. The destination for 29th - 3rd will be Squamish with Angel Crest on my list.

Thanks Joe. The world can use all of the decent human beings it can get.

I'm up for it.

Nothing funner than an adulttreehouse.

you should go do bluebird from the first cave(spring fever) to the top of bluebird and you will experience what i think is solid 5.10a. bring lots of gear.
I will definitely be giving it a run.

I just did Blown Out and Blown Out Direct yesterday. It seems to me that Blown Out Direct has a couple moves that are technically harder than any of the moves on Blown Out. I didn't come across any moves on Blown Out I thought were 10a. Opinions?

Turns out that is where I am heading, so see you out there.
-
I am off tomorrow and may not have anyone to climb with. Anyone else off?

Reggae is all you need. Lots of reggae.

Even with nobody up there we still amost were hit by falling rock. One missed my partner by only 4'. Must have been Ivan above us.

Ivan right before he jumped.

I was hoping this stupid lurker thing would go away when I hit 50. what's a guy to do?
-
so here it is, post #50 and it seems to be buried at the bottom of some long post we are tired of.

Nice slide show. I was there last year, but did not get near the climbing in that you did. I did recognize a couple of the routes you did though.

No climbing for me this last weekend. rain saturday, no one to climb with for the few hours of sunshine on sunday. so now I am left thinking about the weekend before's climbing. Nothing great, just a 10 pitch day at broughton. Edges and Ledges as a warmup. all 3 pitches of gandalf's grip. Don't really like counting that last pitch, but it does need to be all set up so it gets counted. Thats 4. Thai Stick and the first pitch of redeye as 1 pitch for #5. classic for 6. sheer energy and the second pitch of sheer stress for 7 & 8. I had never done the second pitch of sheer stress, so that was cool. no friction and shoot from the hip finished the day. it was time to go, so no time for hard body. I had been looking forward to it all day too.

no need to cleanse him from the gene pool. we need to take him now as one of our own.
blah blah blah. take 'im out.
-
how was the show, how was the beers. lets hear a report.
-
Do you think we ask for too much?
-
Should we all pack solo gear for every outing just in case our prospective partner decides not to show?
Should always. Never know when the slimeball won't show or can't go.
-
Has a timeline been devoloped?
-
Um, sir. You state that you need to climb harder to learn to fall yet you haven't fallen for 12 yrs. until last year? Maybe you should read your post and take your own advice?
Check again. I said I have not taken a long fall on gear in that long. Oh I have fallen though.
