Thursday - Sunday the week of the 17th would be the 20th - 23rd which according to my calculation would be the Smith Rock Tuff Love dates. Drive your butt east to Smith for all the climbing and you can handle. Finding partners there won't be an issue.

Do yourself a favor and take a biochemisty class or two Other reqs on thermoses?

Exactly my idea. I know a lot of people are headed to bigger projects in the spring or just want to be in good shape. I thought a weekly lap up Hood might in order for some cardio in addition to keeping an eye on the every changing rime conditions on I rock. Anybody keen to the idea should shoot me a pm. I'd like to start next week.

No worries... you know where the routes are so just come find us. Anybody else?

Ask castlecrag about this one If you are in a team of two to minimize the terror one can belay the jugger with the other line. Jugging with wear out your line much faster... consider a light lead line combined with a tag line (7-5 mm).

I'll give you that minus the size. I would argue someone that fits that description including the size requirement (in perhaps more areas than one) is Layton

In search of a 16 - 32 ounce thermos for ice climbing (either cragging or multipitch)... anybody find one that keeps yer brew piping hot all day? Obviously weight is a concern but hot coffee is the goal here. Small Q please! Thanks

PDX: putting the climb in cascadeclimbers.com Next session: 10/12/05 4pm - whenever 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 Sidenote: is anyone interested in starting a weekly Mt Hood allnighter climb club thingee? I'd like to start climbing Hood via some route once a week (or bi monthly or something) and start early enough the night before to be up and down and still be back in time for work/whatever the next morning. Shoot me a pm if interested...

Which route? Any other photos? Thanks for the info!

Naturally?

Yo LUCKY... if you like Rage check out immortal technique, Jedi Mind Tricks or sage francis... more hip hop than rock but if lyrical content is a sticking point you won't be dissappointed.

It sure is nice here in the city of rocks this weekend! I'll climb a few granite splinters for you

5 kids last night! Where were you? Hope to see some more people next Wed!

multiple linear regression is not part of the standard excel sw package... you will need your CD (assuming you paid for it) to load. MLR on Excel is easy

Just a sample of Fern's many talents. She did this one for my birthday thread last year. Thanks Fern!

Yup

Here's a sample :

And if you think you will be doing routes that involve a lot of rock and/or you partner is a fat bastard and likes to fall right off the belay and kink your ropes or you might jug the line consider stepping up to a slightly larger diameter cord.

Only after the proper amount of retail experience and several NOLSe courses. I'm fairly certain this is exactly why you kids are my case... or it could be my charming good looks

Blamo! Oh how many times have I been half drunk at bombs arguing over climbing shit and watching my dirty friends grab half eaten plates of food before the wait staff can clean off the table . Drink one for me next Tuesday!

Actually I found Castle Rock was a bad location for harvesting neutrinos so I was headed to other possible locals... Great TR homeless youth!

I predict $2 pints at Bombs...

Park on Rock Butte Road just before the rock wall starts. Rock wall starts c. 300' past the big dome building. Look for the silver on the right. Google map Cross the road walking into the woods (towards the cliff). You will find a trail. Go right on the trail. You will know you are going the right way if you pass a tunnel that runs under rocky butte road. Continue c. 100' watching for top rope anchors on the left and listen for crampons on rock.
