I'll be there at 5. If it is just you and me I will boulder until 5:45ish and then start hanging TRs. I will pick routes based on what is dry. Look for my truck... I will be nearby.

I have an 8'er. If I can get a hold of McKenzie he has one. Any other needs?

I can do Wed. I think I can bring one other guy to help... maybe more if people pony up. What about climbing Tue and Thur kids?

Weather looks good starting tomorrow. I want to climb Tue, Wed and Thur evenings... rock, drytool, gym, hood lap whatever. Call me: 503.758.5772

Funny you say that Brett... looking at your posts it seems you have solicited the advice and insight of cc.com more than once. Which one is it? Waste of bandwidth or source of info for newbies that don't understand avalanches?

Sounds like Ballard Barbie to me

Perhaps spray needs some sildenafil citrate... Who do you get yours through E? Do you go across the border?

I thought you were climbing more alpine this year? Fine with me... the less sportos the better I say

ZING!

It applies for all year

When is the last time you had or heard about a camalot blowing up or falling apart on anyone? Why would C3s be any different? They are plenty flexible.

Best narrow head cam unit on the market.

You can get specific locks that are approved by the TSA. Basically TSA has a master key that can open a number of locks so they don't have to cut them.

How long before Columbia Sportwear Co (who owns MH) votes to move production to a cheaper facility to maximize profit? Or has it already happen? Yeah you got a warranty but when you replace crap w/ crap are you really fixing anything? Single wall from BD, Bibler or Integral Designs.

Depends. Some TSA are hardcore... some are not. I flew last week and checked everything only to have it end up in San Diego bitches. You do get 2 50 lb bags to check through so unless you are carrying a bigwall rack you should be manage a trip on 100 lbs of gear.

Oh yeah... tele or rando?

What's next? Stuie GC or Ice Cliff w/out raps?

well said my friend In summary: - know how to belay and rappel and how to not kill yourself or others - bring your own stuff - don't hang dog for 20 minutes. Either you can pull it or you can't - bring a trashbag and make Rocky a better place - get stoked!

Beware the poison oak! Anything green is suspect!

Hopefully this weekend

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?ovi...v5N51l02SOgo%3d Take Country club turn S on Iron Mt, head to North shore blvd Cabana. Park at that space right at the RR tracks (Union Pacific on the map). Look west @ 1/2 a city block right down the tracks, theres a little bolted rat hole right there.

Hey I heard on Montanaice that the road might be gated soon... http://www.montanaice.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=456 Any know about this?

Sorry for the slow response Rudy... some of us actually work during the day I might have room for another padawan learner. Personally I think Joseph H would be best as he could provide detailed instruction into the evils of bolts Ah... that would be karma payback for Rudy! Give him my email or have him call me: 503.758.5772 (email is best though) Also show him the PDX climb/drytool thread... that is his best bet to get involved and meet other locals
