I know people access the PCT year round on both sides of the highway there. I just don't know how far they plow towards Big Lake. It's easier to access the ridge from starting on the PCT I think, the directions from Big Lake are confusing and there's a bunch of turns. Are you thinking about skinning in? Not telling me on purpose? My feelings are hurt. I track down your climbing shoes at the gym and this is the treatment I get. I'll remember that bro. Today was awesome up there, crazy wind but the snow was really good. This weekend?

Hey Smokeshow, I can help ya out with any info you need. I've lived in Bend for about 7 years now and have paid my dues with housing/jobs. Yeah, the WEstside is a "cooler" place to live but expect higher rent and more traffic. You can easily get a cheaper place on the eastside and drive an extra 5 minutes to the mountain. YOu can go through housing management but supply has grown beyond demand for housing, lot's of places for rent through private owners. Buying a place and renting it out has been the trend for out-of-towners the last couple of years and now rent has leveled off. The house next door to us(Westside mo fo)is 2 bd 1 bath for $750/month. Super nice house,great location. PM me if you need anymore info. Take care.

good to hear that someone else enjoys the energy of death metal. Cannibal Corpse kicks ass! I would love to see them live, it's got to be a pretty intense show. My hat is off to you.

Today young gun Tim Crawford turns 27!!! Hopefully he's enjoying his day riding the summit at Bachey. Because he's gonna get punished tonight with quality tequila, at STARZ.

Not even close. That's an assisted one-arm pull-up. Try doing one with just one arm and you'll see the difference.

I'm looking out the window and it's covered now. Won't last long cuz it's already warming up but it probably snowed 3 inches at Smith today. Wazzu, sorry I missed ya, riding fat powder up at Bachy all weekend.

Looks like the weather will be good by friday/Sat. Partly to mostly sunny with mid temps. Perfect for climbing knobs. Axe the cheap hotel, Redmond has some cheap rooms but there ghetto. I live here and I'd rather camp at the Grasslands.

Jlag's wife isn't down with JLag going climbing on Valentines Day. She's really cool, but not that cool. I would love to meet up with you fools Sunday morning if the weather isn't too bad. Timmy should go,he's got Sunday off and has been cranking at InClimb like no other.

I can't even believe I have to listen to this horseshit. I see just as many skiers sideslipping the steeps as snowboarders. I think it's exteremely shallow and closed-minded to assume all snowboarders are 10-16 years olds running down little kids. Both accidents on Bachelor last year we're from skiers hitting people. But I don't rip on 14-year old skiers. I jump turn just fine and don't need to sideslip anything unless it's really icy. You have every right to protect your child from idiot speed demons on the mountain. It happens at resorts regardless of what people are riding on. Good snowboarders should give bad snowboarders a bad time? I give any out-of-control skier/snowboarder a bad time. Grow up.

I was at Smith a few years ago hanging with the Outward Bound crew climbing Heinous. Ty got involved in a serious conversation as he was tying his figure 8 follow thru and never followed thru. About 30 feet off the deck the wind blew hard and pulled his rope out from his harness. He's hanging on realizing that there's no way to downclimb and decides to jump for it. Bean steps up and catches him like you cradle a baby and slams into the ground. Minor bruising and a little rattled but basically saved him from ankle\tailbone injury if not more. Pretty scary stuff.

This is the legendary "two finger spot", the helmet is for just in case. What's up WAZZU! Start hangboard training now so we can keep up with Timmy come springtime. He's got a face made for the cover of Rock&Ice.

Word has it that the legendary GaperTimmy was spotted at InClimb last night devouring set routes. I think it would be correct to assume that this man will be a bouldering and climbing machine by springtime. I wouldn't be suprised if Timmy has got some projects out at Smith this year. He was good before and now with technique and strength to boot. Lookout Caldwell there's a new Timmy in town.

But can he teach? I've worked with teenagers for almost 7 years now and I've met a wide variety of teachers/mentors. The problem is people think that Masters/Doctorates Degrees and high GPA's automatically mean a good teacher who can relate to kids. Some of the best teachers I work with have basic education but are really good at dealing with ALL types of students. Unless this guy has amazing charisma and years of experience working with all populations of students I wouldn't hire him either.

Have you ever listened to it? so much for an open mind.

I agree Nightmares on Wax is really good. Everyone who appreciates good hip hop, not wankster crap, should check out UGLY DUCKLING!!!!! These 3 white boys kick out creative beats w/out drug references and don't need to cuss. They're website is www.meatshake.com. Crack me up.

sounds to me like Timmy needs to buy a sled for all of us Central Cascaders. He's got a fat job and a truck to haul it. And everyone knows how cool Timmy would look on a brand new Polaris RMK 800.

Agreed

I could easily be talked into some routes if your interested. Could be cold and rainy but it's only 20 minutes from my house. What are you interested in climbing? I'm off the couch right now.

Climbing on MDMA, lots of it.

Are we riding fat powder tomorrow? LIft opens at 8:am, lets get up early and hit the freshiez! Today was awesome, dense, windpack and good vis. Gas-pedal powder. Call me tonight.

No steeps in Oregon? I'd beg to differ. Try skiing/riding a little farther from the lift. Paulina Peak? I'd call that pretty damn steep. Wallowa's backcountry, take your pick of steep ass lines.

I just got back myself not too long ago. Where where you? You mentioned the state of GRO, I was in Truncones and Zihuatenejo. Surfing, drinking and getting married. ONe of the best times of my life. Which club did you meet her in? Kisses? Any climbing around there? Just curious.

My friend at ClimbHigh just got done with the new screensaver. Check it out and download at www.climbhigh.com. Obviously he's got too much time in front of the computer.
