I understand the frustration with the delays to Alan's Guide, but it is not like there isn't a guidebook and supplement existing. Alan has worked really hard to make his next edition a real masterpiece by redoing all of his excellent line drawings. People just keep putting up routes. I agree that guidebook gear requirement listings is NO PLACE for humor, just as Joshua Tree is no place for pyromanaical Climbing editors.

Should be coming out soon... Another Thesenga stupid move in a classic area, IMO. Although Alan has become the "artisan sportclimbing grandfather", and we're all waiting for the "masterpiece"... Discuss.

BTW, climbing's still safer than driving a car (Disclaimer/avoider to family)

Best 5.8 pitch in Oregon!

Just fixing a flat tire, carry on.

PP is going to wet himself when he sees all those links.

Aren't we just the voice of reason on a maddeningly wet Sunday?

Good point. **edited**

I am not a guide and am merely having fun with others who may or may not be climbers in the above noted "climbing trip". Although I am familiar with this climb/climbing area that means nothing. It may be dark, cold, wet, muddy, hot, freezing and windy during the climb and the only fun may be in seeing others suffer. Any photos taken during the climb may be published or shared with others regardless of how they make you appear. I am not insured nor do I carry any insurance for losses, injuries or deaths that may occur as a result of or while you are participating in these climbs. I am not proficient at reading guides or topo maps, route-finding, or the use of any navigational gizmos or gadgets. I am not strong enough or brave enough to defend or protect myself or anyone else from potential attack from wild or domesticated animals. Although I may carry bear spray, I have not been trained in its use and you may be inadvertently sprayed. I am not proficient in backcountry survival. I can only and will only carry enough food, water, clothing, or lighting for my own needs. I am not responsible for anything my dog(s) may do to you including alergic reactions, tripping you, clawing you, or biting you. I do not carry any radio, telephone or any other communication device that might enable you to summon assistance or be rescued.

Howsitt going Gene? I suppose some defamatory blogging will be forthcoming because of this climb. After all, there were no independent third party timers...
