dont take my draws off my project please...

i'm no ice climber but I sure do get stoked when you PDXer's get the conditions to throw down in the gorge.

those are the best shots ive seen of tricks, looks so good. nice job guys!

i know i'd like to get there... Jstar blogg

when i first posted the link there was a dude standing there with a sign that said "First Snow."

Thanks for holding onto it jpark.

Bro/Brah!

Awesome! Great shots.

the train is stored in the tunnel. duh.

Much of the land on mountain home road is private property. There are two main owners of the south end of mountain home road, The Bullitt family, and another man (don't know his name) who owns that land. It's his personal train, and train track, apparently he's quite fond of trains. I know he's tried to develop his land into something tourist based but has been shutdown for a variety of reasons, i think the train may have been one of those schemes. Rumors of a certain Ltown/Seattle monkey who was able to drive the train have not been confirmed. As I said before, the land is private property. Thus, it would be prudent to delete the pictures of you blatantly trespassing, and likewise you should proabaly go ahead and nix this thread.

I love that breadloaf sloper that orion is grabbing on P1. Anybody ever climb jack of diamonds?

could be mine or in my crews, ill do a grigri check and get back to you. thanks for posting.

I'd say the big turning point occured on the 2nd ascent of The Disappearing Floor route on Mt. Hardy, a climb inspired by Dan and Forrest's TR here on the forum. 50ft out, pulling a 5.10 mantel very much at my limit, onto a ledge which looked more like a litterbox, is the first time I REALLY had to keep it together, and it all started here.

Nice!

Thanks you guys so much for the effort and work you put into the forum. I can honestly say that cascadeclimbers has had a profound impact on my climbing, and I wouldn't be where i'm at today without this great resource. I also appreciate the reminder to contribute. I've been slacking a bit lately and will hash out some TR's soon. If any of you guys (Jon, Porter, etc.) look me up the next time your in Ltown, the first round is on me.

WOW! Very cool and very inspiring to read about these historic ascents.

I'm in week 2 of nursing school and have had to force the rest days on myself...

I'm really sorry to hear this sad news. Condolences to friends and family.

september weather window..... a nice alpine adventure that will carry your stoke through at least a couple wet PNW winter months....

I saw your post for Trout and wondered if you would head north. Next time Powderhound, have a blast down south!

Looking for a partner to join me on a enchantments project on saturday 9/25. Weather looks great. All day adventure with an early start and late return. Only requisite is that you can jug efficiently (though I would love to swap leads if so desired) and have plenty of alpine rock experience. PM

Partner found.

jimbo check your email!

I swear it will be fun! I'm racking up....

Looking to finish up a project in the enchantments on Thur 9/16. Need motivated partner for all day shiver, suffer-fest. Must know how to jug efficiently. Lets go for the glory!
