letsroll replied to jlag's topic in Oregon Cascades
some day you need take a camera and do a photo route tour. Jeesh.....TR with no pics. I don't believe you did it. I need evidence -

Cool thanks for the 411. 4th 10a boulder move. Super fun.

Pitch 1 5.8. After the last bolt on the travers on the second pitch what do you guys do for gear into the butthole? or do just clip the bolt and then place a cam in the crack on top of the butthole?

Your wife must be something else to put up with the likes of you Great story, the two guys at beacon I saw should have had cell phone for the same reason. It was nice to meet you at Beacon. will -
FYI there is a reason they call it camp hazard.

I started it, but that is cause I did the same thing with my friends who started climbing not too long ago. Gave out my extra axes and crampons. Sorry to say that I am fresh out. Give me a couple of years I will have some more Have several old ropes but I would never give those out to anybody, that would be bad form.

WTF....Can I get some tax advice from them. I plan on importing young childeren to sell to hollywood celebs so they can skip that whole adoption thing
-
I can agree with mark but if you really want to make a difference some one with extra gear would get that boy a proper set of crampons or boots. The other stuff like eat and drinking while you are hiking he seems to have figured out.

That is a good one, I am going to use it in the future.

Check these guys out. Beyond Clothing Granted you have to order them but and that takes some time but the pants I got from them are the BOMB. They are my fall, winter, early spring pants. I got an older version of the Cold Play pant. Full side zips and what not. Last year I only wished for tights under them one day and that day was windy cold. Oh and they are the ONLY company I can get pants that fit. What only short people do outdoor activities?

Direct belay over edge with auto-block - opinion
letsroll replied to SplashClimber's topic in Newbies
Yes you do but your back will be much happier. I end up just being bent over for the entire pitch. I use to use my autolock on everything, but lately I have been using it only on harder routes where the climber will be moving much slower. -
Go get a auto block and forget about it if you are bring up second. If belaying leader use it in ATC mode. If I was leading or following I would rather you use an ATC. It is good to know those friction knots but I have been lucky enough not to need them (fingers crossed and knocking on wood).

Last time I purchased a parking pass for smith was at GI Joes. Now that they are gone where can I go in bend or redmond to get an annual or 2 year parking pass for smith? yes I now you can get them at the park but I don't want to have to wait for the old people to get there as I tend to start early. Want to start saturday at 8 am and climb till late. Freddie's?

It would work but you would be bending over a lot. Just belay off your harness and redirect through directional. -
You could not get back your draws? The second had to go up the rope but could not take the draws? No fifi or no ascenders? Wondering cause I am planning on doing that route this weekend and I am the "more experienced" one:) Doubt that they will be there, but if they are I will get them back to you.

Mnthippy. Sounds like we have the same foot. I have the megarides and they are narrow. After a couple of years I also decided that I need a wider forefoot. This is second hand but I understand that the BD boots might work for you. I have not tried them on as I have a tough time justifying the cost of another pair of AT boots. Thank goodness that the Megarides are nearing the end of thier life span I will be interested in what you end up with.

Dang it I had my camera and everything to take some pictures. Next time I will post some

First of all climb more. When I was strong at the overhangs I was at PRG at least 3 days a week and I bike an hour to get there. I had bad form but I was strong. Being fluid helps and I found that spending some time in the bouldering room helped alot on my movement i.e. keeping the mid section up not down. If you have been going to PRG for a while I would hit up the hang board as well. Don't do alot, maybe once a week.

I agree with the ranger. Don't look for him next time. If he had done all that hiking this summer that did not need rescue he should know better. I call BS on his "hiking."
