You gonna be there?

You been watching gravsports? Though not an awesome kickoff to the season you guys definitely have some ice...

Make sure you have a bivy permit though. And an overnight parking permit for your car.

Not sold out. Email is the best way to get a hold of Rob though I suspect he'll add the PDX enrollment option to his site in the next day or two. Should be a great seminar at the new Recreate Fitness location

What is the status of the warning signs? Perhaps they should consider updating them to the Amber Alert reader boards as to allow for up to the date warnings to be displayed at all times.

I'd also really like to see chalk buckets @ each belay station so that I can refill my chalk ball for the next pitch.

You guys are out of toliet paper @ the tree ledge again too

From where you park I'd estimate ~1500 -> 2000' give or take. But to stay consistent with Cody ratings I'd say 500' of 3rd and 4th class and maybe some WI2. :laf: Cody: full value ratings. The way it should be.

Only ice on this trip... but since you asked the south fork has a few unclimbed choss mountains... real big ones in fact...

Toes did great though w/ temps in the high 20s I dont know if it was a true test of function. Still... great to log day 2 on ice

Trip: Cody - Carter Mtn Date: 11/15/2008 Trip Report: South Fork Love baa baa baa baa baa Gear Notes: 1.99/gallon from ID -> WY Approach Notes: Many many thanks to Aaron Mulkey of Core Mtn Sports in Cody for all the beta, info and updates. If you're in town drop in and spend some $$$ in his shop! Support the guy that checks conditions weekly and installed most of the anchors out there!

Illumination rock. Topo is on Wayne's page. Have fun

Selkirk: take Braydon climbing and skip work... if you're lucky you'll get fired! Two birds with one stone! pub club in cody saturday night... first round is on me!

Rob will be back in PDX Jan 17/18... seminar topics are listed on his webpage. Additionally this time he will also be bringing with him an Exum guide or two who will be lecturing on fast/light tactics/techniques. The last PDX seminar sold out weeks before... if you're serious about attending I would sign up sooner than later. PM me or email Rob if you have any questions/etc etc

Check out Rob's youtube channel... he is doing some evil preseason WODs for his skiers/boarders also... snowboard burpees... step ups + static hold in boots... evil but simple effective shit. Get some athlete!

That and a ton of info on Coast Mtn climbing and ice climbing and great TRs

Thanks for posting Joe!

Cool beans Bill! You can do the same drill with a peg board (I have on in my backyard) and real ice tools. Here's what I want for warm soggy November days! [video:youtube] I have all the materials to build one (including the system tiles!)... I'm just waiting as we might be moving again If anyone in PDX wants to train (rock or ice) send me a PM!

Thanks dude! Great beta as always How's the approach right now? Snowshoes needed?

Really good chance

Do them at the same time: Mountain Athlete Sessions

:rawk: :rawk: Awesome guys! Looks like an awesome event for a great cause!

If you feel so strongly you should write a letter to a congressperson/representative for every 5 posts you make here.

CC has helped me grow some thick skin over the years so I wasnt offended per say... I just wondered if you all really meant what you were saying (do you?). Having known a few people (parents and parents to be) who have been in that situation I cant help but feel empathetic to their situation independent of their party affiliation. And I'm not trying to come across as holier then though... I know Ive caught myself taking pleasure in others fuck ups... Limbaugh's pill popping comes to mind... but I try not to as doing so is stooping to their level IMO. But regardless: please dont stop posting Minx. I think you are one of the few that makes solid contributions in spray. And yes... they have been far far worse threads on cc. Tvrashtalker: "freak" is what I most commonly hear.
