Post a pic of your #1

Based on this discussion I nominate thee for king fluffer Post a TR when you take your C4 #1 outside the gym

How would you even know what hard is? You don't even know your limit...

How can trad be your favorite type of climbing to the point you know which piece you are most fond of but you don't know how hard you climb outside?

I got plenty of tools to go around. Only bring your rope if it has been demoted to "top rope status" as the potential for abuse is great... Edit: oh yeah... Tuesday the 25th.

How many of those posts are related to climbing?

If temps hold I was thinking about a run up the north face on Wed night... if the temps crap out I can dry tool. Not sure if people have the time and/or experience for the north face so I hesitate to invite just anyone for this Wednesday night. If you are interested shoot me a pm or email.

Tonight as in Monday? I can't dt tonight Are you going to be there Tuesday?

Next session: 10/24/05 4pm(ish) - whenever... if you can't get there until 5:30 it's okay just make sure to tell me so I know you are coming Make sure to bring a headlamp... the days are getting short so we will likely climb after dark. A thermos of hot something might be in order also. As always let me know if you are coming so I can bring enough top ropes: 541.231.2062

Are they open early?

Quit posting pics or I'm gonna come poach all the good lines

Hey Daniel! Did drytooling at PDX drytool night help at all for this

Damn! Never tried that place! I am gonna have to get with the program

When in doubt replace them. BD does it cheap (i.e. free generally) if it is a camalot but you didn't hear that from me.

Good first multiple route for sportos looking to get into multipitch. One can run the first two pitches together if so inclined. Those (such as B-rock) who are a little more seasoned in the alpine/trad realm will find it a bit boring but for you first timers a blast!

Do the five pitch sport route out past monkey (kiss of the lepers area)... it's not in the book but 5 pitches of super easy super fun bolt clippin'! 5.8!

And don't forget Mt Hood Roasters in Welches, OR! Doughnuts and coffee!

It isn't the exit that determines the fastest way to 26 as much as the way you go after you get off (assuming you exit somewhere in the teens... don't take I-5 all the way to 26... slow!). I would say just take exit 17 as this gives you a chance to get the cheapest gas around (with the exception of the am/pm in sandy though that one is usually a clusterfuck). I would say fill up here regardless of where you tank is as from there it only jumps $0.20 or so all the way to redmond and back. And don't forget! 26 from roughly Sandy to Mt Hood is a safety corridor... a.k.a. speed trap hell! Traffic fines double! Drive smart! As far as interstate corridor vs. I-5 it depends on if you expect to hit the "seattle/tacoma/olympia rush hour clusterfuck because the locals can't get descent mass transit mess" go the interior way as it is faster! Going the interior way does take you through Hood River which kicks the shit out of anywhere for a coffee/beer/rest stop/grab lunch/whatever stop. Hood River s

You gotta post them in the gallery first... Do that or if you want email them to me and I'll do it for you. Good work guys!

Corvallisclimb and Bigwallin are there tonight... they should be pounding tuff tomorrow on Picnic Lunch... give 'em a shout when you cross the bridge if you are there tomorrow.

Hell yes d00d! Get that shit rollin'! Let me know what night(s) you guys are going and I'll come up Maybe we can hit your favorite bar afterwards (you said the calf right )

My condolences

I read spectra slings have a recommended usage of 100 days of climbing (UV exposure)... not sure if that is just someone from the industry trying to get you to buy more crap or what... maybe someone has an article? As most cam slings are nylon I'd think once it's faded or it gets any nicks or cuts (stupid crampons!) you should do it. BD and many other companies do it quick and hella cheap!
