Climbing at the PP yesterday and we stumbled across a pretty major rockfall at the west face of Grand Central tower. A large slab above the West face routes sluffed off and neatly jumped over the routes below. This is not saying that the routes did not escape harm, but the bolts appear to be still there, climb with caution. There is quite a bit of rubble and the base is a mess. A tree with rap sligs now resides at the base. I believe a portion of the Sandbox route is completely gone. Possibly affected routes: West face White Lighting West Face direct Nirvana ridge Scratch Sorry for the poor quality photos, cell phones on cloudy days...

Looks like you had a great time! Is the the line you guys were talking about?

Craig, Got the footage on DVD, let me know when you roll through town.

Sabre?

Hey Craig, I shot some HD video of your second on the first pitch. The footage looks pretty cool.

Try this one, it's in english. http://chilemountains.info/

Come to where the flavor is, come to flavor country.

Check email.

I watched you two climb CL from the road. Wish I was cold and scared with you guys, so jealous!

Wow!

Many new routes. Several old routes cleaned up. First fall factor 2 . Not enough time off.

As posted before, we found a single womens approach shoe in the scrub below the route, ouch.

Great read Sherri!

Wow!

I own the old Oregon guidebook that lists these spires, always wanted to go there.

Also, I am hopelessly furious about the Bolt decision.

Can we instead debate the wrongful obsolescence of 8 track tapes,TAB cola, the AMC Gremlin, analog television or BETA recordings?

Insulate the pipe with a thick mat lot of pine needles.

I guess I can see why.

I agree that it's hard to believe, but yet people who do not want to see it are seeing it. BTW, the guy who started the ST thread has been caught and outed as a outright hoaxer.
