i new you'd pull through with a pic, tyler. i'm not sure either. is it second pitch of pack animal?

marsupial traverse. looks like you're on the pitch right after brogan spire. what a fun route that is as well.

snake dike?

first pic looks like some morning glory schwag that i don't climb

kevbone, second pic is outer space? looks like the ledge right before the hand cracks.

nice fgw! another route i really need to do. 5.9 pitch of snibble tower.

nice hemp22. one of the earlier routes in the lower gorge:

where's corvallisclimb? he has some obscure photos.

old school jim anglin route: cull's in space.

yes. well worth the walk to climb this beautiful corner.

nice hemp22. moscow it is and what a great finishing crack it is. here's another one: my favorite single pitch route in the marsupials.

not at all, sometimes you just get lucky. how is perpetual motion and did you climb dolf's dihedral to the left? i haven't done either but they look good. as for my pic: think easy and obvious. i bet you've climbed this route more than once.

fgw, nice job upping the ante with your obscure route. my guess is perpetual motion. as for your guess: not even close; it's on the tuff.

this is another good smith route with an fa from the 60's.

third pitch of white satin. looks like you led the 10b for the second pitch as well instead of the 5.7 choss. great pitch and another jeff thomas classic.

gotta move? edit: the energizer!

nice kevbone. it's called child's play - have you climbed it? this one is more for the stoke as it's obvious. chris garner soloing this smith rock classic.

correct. crack-a-no-go. here's another watt's route that isn't as classic but deserves for more attention than it recieves.

it is tyler. notice his "up yours" shirt. no guess kevbone?

you are close hefeweizen. no other guesses? i thought this was an easy start!

and get some picture stoke as well. watt's classic.

i'm hardly a rocky butte climber anymore, but i used to be. my opinion would be that the bolts should go in especially if it's the only reasonable way to anchor; however, if people are going to chop them, it seems more reasonable to just not put them in. unfortunately it lets the choppers 'win' - but chopping and rebolting makes the rock lose - which to me, is always unacceptable. the other option of putting the anchors lower so they are harder to chop seems reasonable as well, assuming people don't start chopping those as well. bill, you guys are dealing with a tough situation and i wish you the best with it.

thanks for the work on flying circus, joseph. it's a route that should more traffic than it does. looks long and sustained and the wide finish to top it off.

that was quite the lead! i was horrified for him ( eric ) while i was shooting photos from above. i had a clear view of the airtime he was flirting with. that climb was missing two pins when he did it! proud lead and likely the second ascent. were you on the free for sum anchor or windsurfer? i remember seeing three people on one of those ledges. he potentially could have landed in your lap.

how did it go? if people start showing up to these i'd be game for some local climbing spray.
