Well said my friend, although the pounds are continuing to shed. Will be at the gym tomorrow.

Regardless please remind Sir Bag of his water replacement obligations, hopefully to be conducted soon

You can make it in one hour in this fashion, set your watch forward one hour, hike for 2 hour (if you know where you are going) once you get there set your watch back one hour. Finally the approach to GGB is returning back to the stick up your ass FA conditios for maximum adventure. Now if we can just remove a few bolts and re-install a few more 1/4 inchers

can someone please take a photo and post it here so all can see that the state archaologist is a wanker!

Hanman is one tuff MFer, one of the only MFers that can take a rock up the ass and sort of walk away from it. This is all due to the Darrington S and M monkey buisness stick up the ass training that the DEA requires to be a goat roper slab-a-dab bush whacker squire creek-big 4-whawetkin-balony-chrome-Roan-dome-spring mountain master. Get well soon! Shapp p.s. you are still a midget though

Na it is probably near the ground. So with a park with such a long history of heavy human use, they haven't inventored all along the base for rock art within 15 minutes hike from the trail head? Hard to believe it has been there all along, maybe some climbers fooling around with new age art work.

Holy toothless Crack Whores batman! That crack looks "unfuckwithable" Yo!

well seeing as how climbers have been visiting smith for over 50 years now, they probably found some old rusty pin that is now old enough to be "Culturally" significant and sensitive. Or maybe some other shard of pre-whitty history. If you dig deep enough anywhere along a river in central oregon, especially near some big rock outcrops, you are likely to find something. Granted, I am all for actual meaningful culturally significant site being protected, but how big of a site could it be? The funny thing is the way the rules work, they can keep it a secret, so we may never know.

sold, admins can you delete the add? Thanks Shapp

Photos from today

1997 Toyota Tacoma extra cab, 2WD, manual 5 speed, 2.4-L 4 cyl engine, white, sliding rear window, tilt, cruise, canopy, rhino lining, Air conditioning (cold), MP3 playing single CD/AM/FM stereo with removable face, runs good, daily driver, good Les Schwab tires, life time Les Schwab shocks, 27-28 mpg, 218,500 miles. Had this truck for 9 years, clean title and car fax, will provide car fax on request. Some minor scratches and small dents. $2,650 (p.s. boat not included). I also have a carpeted raised bed deck that is quite nice for road trip sleeping and storage underneath. I am in Everett, email at jshappart at meridianenv dot com to see/drive, make me an offer. I inherited a newer Tacoma and don't need 2 trucks.

5.10 A2 I believe

Good!, Stance or Dance is definitely 5.10 through the bolted part, thank god for the fat shiney bolts that caught my several falls.

The Rash and Stance or Dance today - Yo, anyone climb Stance or Dance?

Pete Pollard's Pole?, nope - its the Old Man

anything in the Gorge that is rated 5.9 and 5.10 is harder than anything on tuft that is rated the same grade. Also explosive energy child seems hard for the grade, but of course Mr. Belskis told me it was 5.10b as I launched up it on lead.

In the Elkhorn Mountains adjacent to Anthony Lakes ski area, of note is that one can routinely observe teenagers skiing Lees Peak Coulier on any given saturday during the winter (hiking over from the ski area).

Nice TR! Yell yes, something other than smith, beacon, or hood! Please put it in the Oregon forum to spice that area up a bit. Please note that Lee'S Peak Slab usually has snow at the top until late in the summer. Make a trip out in late August to climb it, make sure to sample the excellent, but mostly laughable overbolted, routes at Spring Mountain too. Make some time to pop over to High Valley and lead Do or Fly in the early morning or evening (badass but way to short!), but watch out for rattlers (seriously). However: No fu**ing-a No! The lame ass Falcon Guide book is a piece of shit and is totally inaccurate and sucks balls! Those jesus freaks suck pole and can't even read a regular USGS 7.5 minute quad. They also made up the names for the routes themselves that were put up long before they were born! see my post here, which has been added below for your historically correct pleasure. http://www.summitpost.org/trip-report/432314/a-date-with-an-angel.html Clarificaiton from the lame ass guide on the Lees Peak route (not the route you climbed): Everyone that bought the lame ass falcon book has been an unwitting victim of poor documentation by lazy guide book authors. Lee's Peak peak is on the left (east side) and angel peak is on the right (west side). Two anyone interested in this Peak and route, the USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle accurately depicts the Peak names. A little information that Bolf and Reuf neglected to determine is that the name of the route is not "free ride to heaven". As far a I can surmize they made this name up themselves. This route is known locally by several names such as Lee's Peak slab, Lee's Peak coulier, Lee's Peak ramp etc. The first routes to the left of the ramp were put up by Dave Jensen in the early 1970s, it is uknown who first climbed the ramp, Dave suspects others climbed it before him. There are several lines on the prominent buttress to the left of the Coulior, but they have fallen into obscurity.

Speaking as an Oregon born boy, that considers Oregon my true home, this Oregon forum has sucked balls for a long time. And this just is a great example. Get out there and climb something and shut the hell up, then come post some pics of something instersting. There is interesting shit all over oregon, but all you see is hood this and beacon that, blah blah boring! no, it aint in Oregon

Location has been posted for many years: http://people.whitman.edu/~pogue/climbing/hells_cyn.html

Asking the question on the internet to begin with is less trad.

I have it on good authority that the double set screw Pika is the driller of D-Town choice, based on the many penetrations by Hanman with his Pika inseminator and 24 oz ballpeen nightmare! The good ones have an integrated allen wrench swaged in the keeper loop. Regarding Petzel, we all know the Frenchmen's ability to penetrate anything but small boys is questionable, and thefore, on its face, the Petzel drill can be discounted.

Ho!, That is about as long as an average man pecker! I'm talking about shorter bolts in granite in the wilderness, so hand drill is needed so the MAN doesn't bust me and stick one of those peckers in my A**
