Just a guess but "Dod's jam" out a beacon might have some jamming on it... just a guess. If we tell you where the local crack problems in PDX are do you promise not to bitch about people using chalk on them?

+ 8D baa = Get better baller so you can get in line early for the new modest mouse album

make sure it is a core duo!

Call on it! Bill Coe is always looking for another rental...

How much? Did anybody call on it yet?

Do these pants make my butt look big? :laf: Does anybody have a req on a body fat monitor/scale? Certain brand and/or model? Seeing how fat my fellow cube farmers have grown from the daily grazing has me a little paranoid...

I'll pass on the TR Bill (hijacking is so much more fun!)... if peeps have questions they can send me a pm. I'll post a few more pics later... Marcus's girl took a few from the ground. The 1st pitch bolts are great/new... after 4 cut left and follow them across to the belay. The 1st pitch belay shared the belay bolts for Highway 97 so they are super fat new ones. A little choss on the first pitch... nothing too bad but if peeps are hanging out for Teddy Bear's picnic give them a heads up before you launch off. And p1 is 10-... some might try to call it an "a"... some a "b"... whatever... 10- is good enough for me... How loose is it? I have a hard time answering this as everyone has a different opinion... my teenage years were spent at smith or around the OR casacades so my idea of loose might be a little more liberal than most... How about this? All the belays are protected/out of the line of fire from rock fall (as the route never really goes straight up) so as long as you have a healthy set of lungs to yell rock at the hikers below and a fine selection of small to mid sized cams to sew with you should be fine. For reference if you have done the farmers route this one is significantly less choss. I will say for what it is or isn't worth for the aspiring alpine climber (especially those interested in first ascents) this is a great alpine trainer/sampler... face climbing on p1, traverse/downclimbing on p2, pigeon poop wallowing on p3, sustained 5.9 on some loose rock on p4 and an offwidth for p5... basically a little bit of everything. Plus it will make you bring a back pack or at least climb with your shoes on your harness as you wouldn't be able to easily rap it. This will ensure good times on p5 So yeah... a little alpine sampler. Pro: set of nuts, blue - red alien, 0.4 - 3.5 c4 singles (if you sew you might want doubles in 0.5 - 2). Mileage will vary. Now I just need to con someone into climbing shiprock with me 50' loops of 1" webbing? check.

sounds like I have been studying the wrong bible lately Bill: that is free lunch... my favorite route on PLW to date

I think it mentions the popularity and consequences of falling out of the top in the guidebook... Good to hear he is okay How soon can we go to the city?

Revelation 10a. People love falling out of the top and breaking their ankle. my new favorite smith route:

Nice work Tyler! Consider replacing the belay bolts on Free Lunch... the first pitch anchor is okay but top of 2, 3 and 4 could use an upgrade. Great route that would be even better with new hardware! Speaking of PLW I believe one of the two bolts at the top of pitch 2 is still missing on the farmer route also...

I'll be there unless my boss sends me to China At this point I am showing only sawtooth slides unless people are interested in seeing photos from either 3 fingers or ice climbing in CO, MT, UT, OR, etc.

Sorry... I'm a little overcapacity at the moment :laf: So many baa so little time

Ahhh... nice... now I understand why they call it "stumptown"

:brew:

granite in renton

Hope to see all you turds there

Praise jesus! http://www.espressomap.com/ Interesting findings when comparing SEA vs PDX

RB will always have some level of trash just like smith will always have crowds or broughton will always have poison oak or club sport will always have MILFs (not that I look at them or anything ). Every area has something... who cares? Climbing outside with cool people 30 minutes from work beats cube farming any day of the week. I don't know about the rest of you but the more I climb the better I get so I'm going to do it as much as possible even if it means spray paint, chopped bolts, freeway noise, trash, etc etc. Hope to see you all out there

I can do Wednesdays for sure and maybe Monday or Thursday depending on when you get started. What time? Anybody who is attending should throw a roll of trash bags in their car and bring one down every time they climb

Best first post in a long time Elisif Strong work team harro and other team harro I can only imagine how much penguin pumping and AK discussion went on Good to see you are putting that HUGE pile of gear you two have to use... how many pairs of boots did you guys bring?
