Rock climb tonight (3/27) anyone? Call me 503.758.5772. Sunset ends at 7 pm!

Has anyone else swung the Nomics?

Sweet pics dude! Awesome trip report! Who knew practicing scraping crumbly basalt w/ dull ice axes and crampons bailed up with mud, blackberry bushes and assorted trash by headlamp in the company of bums and the constant drone of I-205 would help some day. Looking forward to climbing with you this summer

The real question is will E get this thread deleted like he did the "how to dump your girlfriend thread" he started that his girlfriend ended up finding.

10 am at Rocky Butte. After 3 speedbumps the road bends right and passes a big tan dome building. Park past the big tan dome building (look for a silver pickup), cross the road into the woods and walk c. 100’. You should immediately pass a tunnel on your right that goes underneath the road (good warm up area is you are early). Walk c. 100’ along the top of the cliff looking for some TR anchors/listening for the sounds of shitty footwork with crampons on (screech!). If you start to head significantly downhill you have gone too far.

10 am. Call me either tonight after 8:45 pm or 7:30 am Sat morning for directions: 503.758.5772 If you need to borrow gear it is on you to call me and tell me what you need. Can someone bring a beater rope?

Built in heat exchanger.

tomtom is making a reference to my thermos recommendation thread. It's the new neutrino joke... I think the selling point w/ the jetboil is weight... you want efficiency go XKG

My understanding is the new pot fits on the old base.

Seen the new pot? 2.5 L capacity. I haven't used them in cold weather... nothing below 0 F but them seem to do well at least above 0 F. They are much easier to light/ignite if you use the jetboil brand canister. If you can wait a month Marcus took one to the Ruth Gorge... he should have an opinion when he gets back.

Some young bucks that started climbing in the mid-90's remarked about the diamond-c on some of my gear, "hey, that's a total rip-off of the BD logo!" I whipped out a couple of gear slings with Great Pacific Iron Works tags on 'em and gave the fellas a 15-second history lesson. Wanna sell any of that chouinard/GIPW stuff?

Sat 3/25/06: PDX drytooling anyone? Rocky Butte or the new area (if it is still there ) Flexible times... I'd also be down for driving out to Horsethief in the afternoon... NOAA predicts 20% chance of rain...

Headed to Smith Sat night; climb all day Sunday. PM me if interested in carpool. 4 going so far.

Yellow shoes + job that doesn't have a dress code + long weekend of climbing in yellow shoes + flip flops on Monday = everyone at work thinks you have jaundice. Even more fun are red shoes. Everyone thinks your feet are bleeding

FYI for those of you with a bionic toe, are inbred, are missing toes or any other number of reason your feet are different sizes Evolv will let you buy each shoe of a pair in a different size... you have to do it special order but it beats buying two pairs of shoes.

Hey Jon! Are these ads similar to google in that you (cc.com) only gets paid if one of us clicks the link? Would it be advantageous for cc.com if we all made a habit out of clicking on one say... every time we post or something?

Did you see the pics of the new spot I email you?

Sat morning *if* the weather improves. Will make the call Thursday afternoon/evening... I can PM you once I know Anybody else looking to carpool holla!

You know (or I would hope you and everyone else would know that) I am always interested in climbing just about anywhere with anyone... I need dates though.

Hey! I said that the thread was not about hookers!

Red Rocks If you ever need a place to stay in PDX hit me up

A crew of us are headed to smith Sat morning if the weather improves or holds. If not local action.
