looking cold this weekend...

wow! pink has long hair - and so do you. freakin' hippies great pic of lotlp! i don't see any safety equipment anywhere, though.

bone, sonny trotter climbed the second ascent.

hi joseph, first, you should be coming down here to climb! i've got plenty of sunny spots to go that no one is climbing at... and it's fairly warm. also, where did you learn this niacin trick? and do you really think it works? tell karsten to get down here as well - i haven't seen him in forever... and i've got a few routes for him to try as well.

ivo and renon? nice trip report! it's nice to read about some great adventures.

check out skyliner rd - lot's of nice skiing out there. if you have a mountain bike trail map, those trails double as good x-country skiing in winter.

has beacon been climbable, joseph? bryan and i got out today and it was cold at first but good once you finished your first lap. i imagine it's a lot windier in the gorge.

what sad news... and unfortunately true. vern was an outstanding person with the motivation of 10 men. his endless energy and drive will be missed by many.

this is that 10c...

last gasp.

this is true; however, by noon it will be 40 something and perfect sending temps. i can't wait to get out today.

jennifer, which pitch of white satin did you fall on? the second pitch is loose but i think most people these days, do the bolted variation to the left. this allows you to link pitches 2 and 3. good climb!

if you want to climb at your limit - whatever that may be - then smith season has just started.

kevin on the fa of the pumper. yes, he is wearing a superman cape.

thanks jennifer. glad to hear your ok.

gabe coler on the fa of bad day in compton.

thanks RuMR! i'll post more soon.

becca on last chance.

wilbur climbing the first ascent of another unnamed crack.

here' s a new route that will be in the new guide. meaghan on an early ascent of left wing.

i love oregon trad! elusive and plentiful. clay cahoon put this one up during one of his visits.

jim, i have some bolts as well that could be put to good use at the menagerie. let me know. mark

the guide is done and is significantly bigger than the last one. all the drawings and topos are new and look really good. hats off to mr. watts on another excellent guidebook. i'm not sure why it's not released yet though - that seems to be the eternal mystery.

not the same rock. there seems to be a few around the state.

illustrator would be the best for a couple pages of topos. if your laying it out in a book fashion - i would draw in illustrator, then bring it into indesign for the layout.
