no grid bolted boulder problems at Spring Mt (WA) either

Should I read between the lines and take this post to read that you have found some routes you know not and are looking for who may have put them up?

D-Best quickies don't work for anything other than displaying and making chicks think you are cool (or fool) can't remember which. Don't buy em thinking you will climb with them.

have you tried googling "cougar butt" for directions? If you know where it is and like climbing there, would it not be easy to talk to the party next to you and get the topo from them? Or Troll I say.

I wish you for to submit this photo the humor photo category, oh dam, its too late, we have a winner!

Hanman reported this a couple weeks ago 4/22 on the access page for Clear Creek Road: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1066543/Clear_Creek_2060#Post1066543

In my experience, a stuck cam has more to do with the leader and a shitty placement than the other way around.

I have a basic fish haul bag in good used conditon with removable backpack straps and waist belt. Ho holes, tears or other issues, just the usually scraps from a couple trips. $75 obo, trying to raise a little $$ for some other gear needs. Located in Forest Grove (greater Portland area) send a pm if you are interested. I am also selling a 14' complete cataraft setup for $2000, trying to raise money for a new raft trailer, just don't use the cat enough to keep it in the fleet. Photos added of the frame on craigslist. http://community.nrsweb.com/gear-swap/show-ad/?id=1325

My new work and adventure rig. Will post more photos soon. The top pops up, hing on front, high in the back (like a VW van).

Figured out something to work in the meantime, while I order a few. Hard to believe no hangers around town, even in winter.

Or, I should say very few. I needed 4 bolt hangers today for some non-climbing rigging, called every single place, OMC, Mountain Shop, REI, Next adventure I could think of. Mountain shop only had 3 hangers, every one else zero. Is it that people are putting up routes left and right and they can't keep them in stock or that these shops stroke the pole.

I am feeling way depressed; I thought this thread would be a superb beacon of true fucked up climber humor, something in the veine of the great TM Herbert, but alas, as climbing has become increasingly popular, the community has apparently been gentrified. Please for the love of god, post some completely in-appropriate climbing humor shit from the wayback machine! So far it has been pretty bill cosby, we need some Chris Rock bitches! http://www.bardini.org/Anecdotes/Herbert_Letters.pdf

Dont get too caught up with the so called "classics" Solar Slab area is CROWDED! Dude its red rocks, pick any route in this book and it will be SWEEEEEEEEEET http://www.rei.com/product/718548/red-rock-odyssey-classic-traditional-climbs also if you are driving down, Hit me up with a PM, I got some places you might like to check out on the way down if you want to dangle the shlong in a cool hot spring in the middle of BFE and like splitter cracks (the climbing kind).

sold!

sold, that was quick!

Porno in Jame's gas tank cover, while on a trip scoping giant weld tuft phalic symbols in Leslie Gulch/Owyhee area last spring. The good part was when he got gas in oregon, where you can't "pump" your own, funny looks from a few gas attendents! Phalis was photo shopped for the submission to protect the viewers!

So now that I have stood up and called bull shit as the complainer, Here is a constructive post to offer suggestions. First off the conditions of the site, because most folks reading this probably have never been to the fuji shelter, from the Salt lake snow park, where you part your rigs it is about 4.5 mile ski mostly uphill on a gated road only open to self propelled travel in the winter. It is about 4 miles from the hwy. The shelter it self is a 3 sided adorondak style with sleeping loft. The loft holds about 6 people getting real intimate. The lower part of the shelter has a picknick table and wood stove. Max capacity standing room only inside there is probably 14 or so getting real cozy. A comfortable number is probably 6 to 8 people. The shelter sits on an open hill that looks across the valley to Diamond peak, a spectacular view. To many of us, not that far in the backcountry put it is one of the farther shelters you can ski into in the area besides Waldo Lake and Maiden Peak. There are several that are much easier and closer to reach. For a day trip, it is almost 9 miles around trip, ½ up hill, usually not on a good fresh track since fewer people ski in there. It is some work. I can’t imagine any one beforehand considering to ski into fuji, that it would ever cross their minds of running into a group of 45 people due to the distance. People ski to fuji for peace and solitude and the amazing view. If you want a big as crowd you ski to gold lake shelter. Second, my perspective, I have taught several winter camping classes to groups up to about 20 novice people. When planning a trip such as this, one considers the location in relation to safety if conditions become bad or someone gets hurt, etc. We always taught these winter camping classes in close proximity to a snow park, and on more than 1 occasion used the snow park warming shelter for emergency relief for a person. The key part being not far away. We were usually within about ¼ mile. We also recognized that our group size would impact enjoyment of others, as the classes were on the weekend. So we went to areas heavily used like Ray Benson Snow Park, Gold Lake area etc. There are many options to be with close proximity to toilets, warming shelters and areas of relatively high use where a 45 person group isn’t going to seam completely out of place, and where that level of use will not have the impact on other users as taking that group to the fuji shelter. If you took a 45 person group and toured a little ways into the woods, there is ample area to spread out and work on snow caves/shelters and winter safety/surival skills with ski/snow show tours out farther. You have the parking lot shelter for emergency and you have toilets. Say camp near the parking area, then take a tour around the Blowout shelter loop (but not camping at the shelter area). Another option would be to tour into the West View Shelter area, lots of room and close to the parking lot. General many more people in the area than Fuji by an order of magnitude. And there are options for other ski groups to just pass up the West View Shelter and move along to another shelter. This option of moving along to another area does not apply to the Fuji shelter. Basically, a small group would tour up to fuji, see the giant cluster, and probably turn immediately around and go back home. Because again, the reason you ski all the way up to fuji is to get away from a crowd, or else you would be skiing around gold lake, or West View, or Betchel shelters. another option is also to go to these other places and split your grou in half, going to separate directions, 1/2 to west vie, 1/2 to gold lake. If you dont have enough instructers to do this, your gropu is too big. There are so many better ideas to provide for a great learning environment, minimize your large group impact on the environment, minimize your impact on other users, and provide for a safety margin. If you really can’t think of any other more appropriate places, send me a pm and I will point you in a better direct with planning details without being a jerk off.
