Well, I have successfully completed graduate school , and now it seems the only sensible thing to do is get back on the rock consistently! Living in Bend at the moment, but unemployed so Lworth, etc are options. Just looking to get out for some mellow days to start. I have a lot of experience on long, moderate trad routes, but bouldering or clippin' bolts at Smithy are always great days too. PM and let's go play!

Hi all, Looking for some fellow Bendites to get on the rock with. I just got back to Oregon from a trip to the Sierras and am inspired to get back in climbing shape. However I am so embedded in the nordic skiing community that my climbing acquaintances are limited. I've been climbing for 6 years, mostly moderate trad, but clipping bolts is fun too. I just want to go play! Available weekdays except Monday and intermittent weekends.

Still has the tags on. What BD has to say: http://www.bdel.com/gear/mesa.php Thanks!

Anyone racing next weekend?

As a freshman in college my roommate was this Italian girl who spoke no english. She was way into anime and practiced her numchucking all day every day. She also would grow her armpit hair to ungodly lengths and then shave it in the sink in our room. And lastly she believed our dorm room garbage was a proper place to dispose of, um, used feminine products. UGH.

I agree. Those things are usually more of a pain in the ass than anything else. I would save this option as a last resort...

Oh and BE CAREFUL if you do it yourself!

Lots of times if you're real nice and go in on a quiet afternoon w/ some beer shops will totally hook ya up... But not always. And don't even think about trying it on a Saturday afternoon. And yeah, $80 is pretty ridiculous.

Every woman I know who has tiny feet and AT skis uses her Alpine boots... But if she's really determined, have her call The Backcountry at 1-800-625-8444. I know they used to have some older Dynafit boots(possibly in a back closet or the rental fleet now...?) in a 21. And I'm sure if those boots are still around they would be more than willing to sell them. Worth a shot...

Perhaps if Smart Cars become popular it will force our generally overweight population to lose some pounds so they actually can fit in them...

Won't be able to do any whole days that week except perhaps Friday. Afternoons I can probably manage but I'll be coaching most mornings...

Congrats you guys!!!

Oh and Rod, can't climb on Wed. I actually have to work. Or something...

Sheesh people.... details details. You mean you want to know something about a person before you climb with them?! Allrighty well then I've been climbing for 4 years, I'm a 5.9ish climber, mostly trad but am totally up for sport as well. I've been traveling so not much time on the rock this summer, and just about zero time has ever been spent at Smith, so I'm stoked to check it out. What else... I'm a cross country skiing coach with lots of time on my hands currently. So let's play!
