  1. Great video! While I probably wouldn't have touched the guy physically, I don't think I could have restrained my foul mouth. The lecturer on the video sure has some restraint and maybe close to being Budha. Also was the redhead gal with his guy? Hard to believe.
  2. Nice lookin mouth pussy though!
  3. Well hell yes, I have climbed 30 times probably, my favorite 30 foot route! although I thin 5.9+ is better (a little sandbag never hurt anyone, well maybe?)
  4. Regarding the Wallowas, there are no "public" huts per se, there are some guides operating yurts and wall tents for hire the Sheep and McCully Creek areas. That being said, worth the money. I personally like to ski the elkorns more though but there aint no huts, yurts, wall tents, or adorondacks
  5. Kahana at the Noelani Condo Resort nice accomodations at a reasonable price. It is a rocky shore in front but it has mass sea turtles all the time feeding there.
  6. That is interesting about Honolua, there were only a couple people out there when we were there, and although it was a great place, it felt a bit unsettling, I thought because of the weird private land scene at the beach, but maybe it was the spirits. There as actually a very surfable wave forming on the extreme north (right hand side looking out toward the water) at Flemming. It was actaully barreling a bit. Few people on that side of the beach when we were there!
  7. No Bra, we hit Honolua and C.T. fleming for Da Kines, still got water in the ears from some big WHOMPINGS!
  8. I can't concern my self with anything less than 5 pitches when there is warm water and surf to be had!
  9. Trip: Something other than Hood - SW Oregon Rogue River - Grave Creek to Foster Bar Date: 10/1/2010 Trip Report: Had a conference down near Klamath. Should have brought the climbing gear for the Williamson River crags located bout 2 miles from where the conference was. Anyway, hit the Rogue afterward through the lower wild and scenic stretch for some steelhead fishing after (half pounders) but all we mostly caught was a buzz (beer, gin, vodka was bighting the worm). Saw 6 bears along the way but no pics, a mom and cub accros the river, one in an oak tree after acorns, another swam the river near us, and a few more along the way. Someone should try bouldering the length of mule creek canyon (>0.5 miles where the river canyon is 20 to 30 feet wide). Gear Notes: 3 rafts, 4 fifths, and 150 beers Approach Notes: 6 pack chevy and boat trailor
  10. Trip: Maui Date: 12/8-14/2010 Trip Report: Maui is great in December! Highlights included snorking with >40 sea turtles within 150 feet of our condo, mass cocktails, coconut porter from Maui Brewery, getting the older sister-in-law married off, some of the best sushi I ever had, snorking 2 marine sanctuaries, and a good day of surfing. Gear Notes: snorkel gear and underwater camera, coconut porter from Maui Brewery Approach Notes: flip flops and shorts

  12. Ski around Crater Lake (no huts), Ski up to Maiden Peak shelter, ski around a day or two and amble over to Fuji shelter (willamette pass area in OR)
  13. FA of Old Man Rock - Dilleys Delight on the N. Umpqua. A message I got from Gary after I posted my TR of the climb this year, which I really appreciated: I was a member of the first attempt and first ascent - We got to the "Cave" on the attempt, but without bolts, could go no higher - Cams and Friends did not exist then 1n 1959, and also sticky shoes - We climbed in regular climbing boots - I led first pitch, and it was basic find the easiest way, holding the holds in place as I went up - Then Fergy did the next to the "Cave" and that was it for us, so we went and did a first on the Old Woman which I led - In 1963 I came back, though I was late in joining the party as I had to work, but I did join the group on top - Bolts were used as thats what was availible - On the rap off, the rope got stuck at the edge, and it was scary as two of us in the "Cave" trying to get the darn thing to let go - It took about 30 minutes of panic pulling and flipping - I was interested to know there is now a climbers trail to Old Man - We had to bushwack through poison oak which is not fun afterwards - Have been back a few times to repeat the climb, and its always a blast - Gary Kirk
  14. Interesting, no response from the OP. As someone who had a 1974 VW Poptop and did a fair amount of restration on it, a rebuilt engine with installation and new canvas is more than the purchase price. Plus its way below the fair market value unless the body is totally rusted out. Something does't pass the smell test.
  15. I started tele sking about 12 years ago after snowboarding only since 1988. And have been teleing primarily ever since (although I get a couple snowboard days on big pow every year). I basically tought my self, but I wish I had taken some lessons. I plataued out at a moderate level and ended up takeing a couple private lessons at Mt. Baker 2 years ago, which reall improved my skiing. Call up to baker, they probably have a Tele instructor. Also you used to be able to get a Chair 2 only ticket. That is a good place to get started. You buy me a ticket and I will give you a solid halfday lesson at Baker my self.
  16. Could this be the same 74 VW camper that has been on craigslist for awhile, with some potential buyer posting that the seller of the 74 VW camper is full of shit? All of which are no longer present on Seattle Craigslist?
  17. Some grizz photos not photo shopped I took while working on Kodiak, and some grizz? at the Anchorage airport on a red eye. Had to take a pic of her with my collegue. I Da Ho Fisheries represent!
  18. Is the approach long assed? Skis? Yes on the skis, put it this way, if you can handle the drive over from PDX the approach is nothing. You go up the strawberry lake trail, then up toward little strawberry lake, which is pretty much at the base of the final open slope you go up to the base of this climb. Strawberry falls is down in the Timber too. It all depends how far up the Strawberry Lake road you can get. About a little over 3 miles one way if you can drive to the Strawberry Lake trail head, or if you have a snowmachine to get you up to the TH. It is defenitley a 5.5 hour+ drive from PDX to Prairie City under normal driving conditions, in winter it can be significantly longer. I used to live in JD and work on the upper john day and on the backside in Logan Valley (upper Malheur) for a few years. quick googling found this, with a few photos in summer and an approach map to L. Strawberry Lake. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Rmav50MtQoU/SqF0CJBJcAI/AAAAAAAAAcU/YJ-RFgurhNM/s320/Strawberry%2BFalls.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.hikemasters.com/2009/09/strawberry-lakes-strawberry-mountain.html&usg=__CAXymIS39LJk1jQgbRRGyNb3mkA=&h=320&w=207&sz=28&hl=en&start=8&zoom=1&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=2PijypIjdFecRM:&tbnh=118&tbnw=76&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dstrawberry%2Bfalls%2Boregon%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26tbs%3Disch:1
  19. Yes it is locally known as the rabbit ears. I have a water color painting of that feature, looking from Logan valley (the other side) hanging in my office.
  20. how you gonna get in there hana? I am going to have to teach you to ski
  21. That is some serious Via "FREE"atta Russians may not have anything on poles, but from what I have seen, they can work the pole!
  22. Lookin like a broke-back Perch trip
  23. I am fealing kind of inadequate after reading the Mt. Borah stuff, but anyway. Main Salmon River Aug 23 to Aug 30, 2010. 84 miles, 7 days, 200 beers, nice hand cracks, wildlife, great time. Todd with an impressive dive, also one of the guys that put up Flight of the Falcon in D-town and one hell of a kayaker The red boat takes on Big Mallard Horseshoes at Reed Creek Camp The Redheaded Giant The non-climbing climber pitches some shoes I love sheep gene wilder tyle! My old water dog, probably his last trip Hot Spring River girl loves the dog Putting up the 5.8 FA offwidth to monkey tree move to hand crack More rocks Bear that came walking along litterally while I was sitting on the groover taking a dump, seriously no shit! todd resting the back Multipitch potential for sure Curry rice and fresh trout Trout that escaped the dinner menu Bear on the other side of camp nice beach and moon deep dish pizza in the dutch oven dragon fly hitching a ride I don't know what the hell this is?
  24. Actually we were all just fine when it was the grass lands with a dirt 2 track and cow pies. There are lots of places to camp up the road on top of the bench except a car is going to have a hard time getting up the canyon
