Blue tarps are great low cost alternative to other more expensive roofing options.

http://sabegg.googlepages.com/challenger Sorry your trip didn't work out as you had planned, but you've already had too many great trips in one year! Seriously, I can't believe you'll have trouble finding someone here who can make that trip with you.

BTW Off, wait to you see the upgrades we made to the liquor cabinet at the hut! Also, you should be receiving your back stage passes to Spamalot the Musical in the mail today.

HOLY CRAP! That is impressive. Great pictures!

Everyone knows how tough the grades are at Index. You were probably 4th classing.

Yes, I take back all the bad stuff I said about you too Pope. You can give yourself the BJ though. I just want one of those chalk bags. Only thing I would add to that alpine snack selection is a bottle of fine hotsauce and some Nicoise olives.

Oh, he isn't really a doll. More like a poseable action figure!

Well shoot, all this time I thought they was called "Chicken-scum." Live and learn. No matter. Mostly hippies and lesbians living out there these days, anyway. sickie The lesbians are closer to Port Townsend, it gets more conservative the more south you go from PT. You get to go climbing at Chimacum Rock too!

No. And I want my tarps. I can deliver your tarp to your new homestead in Chima-scum this weekend if you'd like . Elsewise, perhaps Thursday night I can come by your house. I can't believe you really want them back! But then, in Chimyscum it does rain a bit, so you'll want them. My parents moved out right by there to live the Egg-In-Eye Dream, which we did for about 15 years.

Pikturs added. Love, Olyclimber

Looks like they were giving out advance copies of the new "Mazama Rock Guide", but it wasn't put out yet. What press?

than i was when i was born.

We're all sitting around wondering what it would be like to not have a jorb and just going climbing and bushwacking all summer. Then someone who is living such a dream posts a TR and we drool. I'm making my plans. Beautiful country out there! Great pictures too. Thanks.

I grew up just down the road. Well, I actually never grew up, but I did get older there.

Holy crap...so you're Chima-scum now???

the only true measure of authenticity is suffering

I'm sure Jeff would agree though that the name is yours. You might as well get a tattoo, you're stamped for life. actually, i can't remember who the big baller is. could somebody help me out?

Trip: Prusik Peak - South Face S-B route/West Face Adventure Climbing Date: 7/27/2007 Trip Report: This past weekend I went up into the Enchantments with three others, included Sir Hansel teh Great. Jeff and I went cragging on Prusik a couple of times. First we climbed the das toof...errr...Stanley-Burgner south face route. This is truly a super classic alpine climb, every pitch was very fun, and the line is so cool. Failing Upwards The next day we decided to go climb the West Face, a route put up by Boving and some other guy that tops out just after the first horn on the West Ridge. For beta we had a crumpled up photocopy of the route drawn (roughly) on a photo, and Beckey's brief description. We started up the 5.9 lie-back pitch, but quickly got off route by going up left to a roof/cave and it was time for some adventure climbing. From there we climbed over the roof to a fun left leaning hand -to- off width crack and ended up right below the yellow spot on the West Face. The tiny crack above looked like it may have been aided, but we decided to rap from a newer looking nut someone who had come up this way before us had left. We rapped down and pendulumed slightly to the left, down to another anchor someone had left (a small single skinny mammut sling on a horn with a leaver biner). From there we climbed a fun crack with hard roof moves (OK, I frenched it), and over to the two trees prominent in most pictures of the West Face. At this point we weren't sure which way to climb, but I remembered that I had taken a few pictures with my digital camera, so we looked at those pics on the LCD and low and behold we need to go up (straight up). Jeff went up and while belaying I discovered the rope had tangled on the tree and Jeff yelled down for more rope ("MORE #$^(%*$#(& ROPE NOW WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!!" to be precise). Following him up I discovered the cause of the excitement was some pretty tough, perhaps "R" rated climbing. Another easy, short pitch and we were on the West Ridge, where we down climbed the West Ridge route. That next to last pitch left me wondering if Jeff might take the crown and title away from THE BIG BALLER. I was glad he climbed it though, with a single rope our descent options were pretty much zero. Jeff freed the entire climb clean. This is how we rolled: Here is a picture of Jeff going off route on the second pitch of the West Ridge: Love, Olyclimber Some dudes on the West Ridge crux (Friday, I think) Goat-see: Gear Notes: For S-B South Face: Standard recommended rack For West Ridge Adventure Climbing: Up to #4 camalot would have been nice. Jeff made it work with largest being #2 and running it out. Approach Notes: In/out snow lake. Many Goat-sees.

Guys and Gals, I'm moving the much vaunted "PDX" climbing love thread to the Climbing Partners Forum, because that is what is really is...a thread all about hooking up with other climbing partners in the PDX area. Over time this thread seems to have a hooked up a lot of people for climbing (and probably a bunch of other stuff ). We'd just like to see the Events forum used for one time events, like slideshows, etc. This isn't a negative comment about this thread, it is obviously a very positive thing, just a house keeping thing. Thanks and climb on Portland.

I really think we should be seeing this in Beneroya, but I guess the "Great Hall" will do. Is that also in the FF building?

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M RUBBING SHOULDERS WITH THE GREATNESS CONTAINED IN THIS THREAD. WHILE PERHAPS UNDER-APPRECIATED, WE ARE GRACED WITH THE PRESENCE OF A LIVING LEGEND WHO TRULY IS PEERLESS AND SHOULD BE GIVEN THE REINS TO STEER THE CLIMBING WORLD TO A GREATER GOOD BASED ON HIS PAST AMAZING AND FRIGHTFUL FREE CLIMBING ABILITY ALONE. THINK ABOUT IT! THIS IS SOMEONE WHO NOT ONLY HAS THE BALLS TO FREE CLIMB TO HARDER THAN YOU EVER WILL, BUT ALSO IS WILLING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT. SUCH MEN ARE FEW. THANKS FOR LETTING ME HANG OUT WITH YOU ON THE ONLINE CYBER WORLD MR. POPE. I WANT TO SEE MORE PICTURES AND TALES OF YOUR EXPLOITS SO I CAN VICARIOUSLY LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM FROM THE SAFE CONFINES OF MY PEANUT SHELL. MORE PLEASE!! MORE!
