1000 ft of 5.9....right with you on that one.
P.S. I enjoy the banter.
P.P.S. Oh, I've got the skinny on some find non-Smith climbin'. The best 5.9 multi-pitch in Oregon is hidden in these hills. I'm gunna leave Beacon to Letsroll...rains too much over there.
I guess if you get all tech on me but I don't know it is "the best" Top 5 for sure. Beacon has a couple right up there but that is in WA even if us Portlanders think of it as an Oregon crag. Best in Central Oregon..YES!!!! Next time I am rapping off that sucker.

And knowing is half the battle.

Shut your mouth. It is going to be the greatest movie ever made

Ya check out the RC.com threads if you have a few hrs to kill.

Now now no need to get personal. Just cause my reach is about the same as a stick clip and I resemble one.......

leaving ropes up over night is not cool. Get there early and pull that sucker or heck use the ropes and Top Rope it all and when they walk up thank them for leaving the ropes out for everybody to use
It does seem group size is getting a lot more press lately. I am a mazama and helped out on the rock. If people are waiting for a route I will be the first to pull the rope for them or let them use the route between our climbers. Not being accomidative is BS.

Think you got it on all points Sanchez.

You still going on about the tape jobs out in smithington. I am going to show up with full arm tape job.

Maine you solo? Red jacket. You pass by some AT skiers on the way down? I was wearing shorts and a blue short sleeve. Think I saw you.

fried spam is good too....

You don't need a rope. link up the flat spots and you will be fine. if you get that falling feeling don't ignor it, you might actually be falling.
really, you should be fine with out a rope. i have done it in late season with out a rope and have been just fine.
go blueribbon gapers

Is bulo point free of snow yet? anybody been up there?

While learning to climb I used aliens and loved them. But when buying my gear I went with C3's and find them a better product all around.
The weak will fail and we will not be talking about this anymore. For this market reputaion is all that matters. There rep is piss poor and it seems they don't care so they will fail. Let it happen. Get over it and buy something else.

LS--sled worked fantastically. 3k in 40 mins!!! (from I saddle to the parking lot) picked them up for 18 buckaroos at some ski shop in sandy. it'll take some convincing for me to climb the SS without a sled descent again...lol.
wait till you step up to the dark side and try AT gear. You will be saying it will take some convincing for you to do the SS with out skis
-
Thanks for the TR.
-
I only remember one spot where I had to stuff my hand into the rock for a good hold. AT boots would have been tough if your soles look anything like mine. But I have done it in running shoes.
-
nice work. Been thinking about that ski for some time. Too lazy to hump all that gear up. LOL...maybe next year...lol.

Volcanoes will be fine next weekend. Go hammer some stuff out then.

Tofu Todd. Glad you go up and had a good time. I am happy to hear that you had a positive experience in the Mazama Basics School. I took that class had met my climbing partners for the following 4 months of solid climbing.
Two rope teams is legit. Not everybody feels like they can learn from books alone, or have people who KNOW what they are doing to teach them. Trying to find climbing partners to teach you is a very unefficent way of doing things. If people don't like large groups on the MOST popular route on hood go climb else were. This is to be expected or go and change the number of people allowed on a climb. Yes it sucks to get behind one of these groups but if I was THAT worried about it I would not be climbing the South Side of Hood.
Tofu, climb with the mazamas as much as you want and when you feel you are ready you will solo or have developed climbing partners and head out with smaller parties. In the mean time forget these other fools.
After all it is the South Side of Hood WTF.

Thanks for the update Jlag.

all is good wimsey. everybody gets it at one time or another. Some people however keep asking for it (they know who the are) and glad to hear it is not you.
Catch you some time in the hills, or maybe you will be catching me

situation dependant. Unless the leader places a bad piece it is the seconds job. Usually lower and the leader tries himself. I climb with a guy who overcams just about ever cam. It has been close a couple of times, but so far so good.
Ummm...Jean Claude Van Dam?

He would be tar and feathered. Ran out of town and forced to service the old toothless ladies of bend out at Smith while doing laps on Lions Jaw taped up.
