Nice guys. I passed you on 26 on sunday and noticed the packs. I thought you were nuts!

I might be able to make it around 5:30- which in Troy time means closer to 6.

I'll be there tonight if my cold treats me alright today. Troy

Yo Bill, I might be down for thursday afternoon at da Butte. I'm going Snowboarding, but T-Line is closing at 3, so I should be down the hill in time. Troy

Joseph, I have tomorrow off. I was planning of going snowboarding unless, of course, you can convince me otherwise. Troy

I'm down. I'm going to go take care of some things but give me a call if your still interested. It's a pretty damn nice day out there. Troy 503-679-9842

So what do people think? It's been pretty cold for the past few nights on the west side, and all the weather people are saying that this is the coldest air mass of the season. I haven't driven out there but maybe by Thursday a few lines in the shade would come in if it stays cold? Thoughts?

Schweeet. Time to crawl out from the rock I've been hiding under and do some pullups.

A side benefit for paying someone, is that I don't have to haul a rack and rope across the country. Maybe I could just buy a new one there so I only have to haul it back.

I'm going to NYC for 7 days next week. Its pretty unstructured, so I'm thinking about getting in a day of climbing at the gunks midweek. It would be easiest, I think, to just pay a guide for a day of climbing. Thoughts? Anyone here actually used any guides from the area that they would recommend? Or should I waste time trying to hook up with a partner from the interweb. I'm not looking to be taught how to tie in or build an anchor. Just a chill person to show me some easy multi-pitch 5.8-5.9 and get out for a day.

I use shock doctors and really like them. They seem to have more support/plastic crap and the foam on them is oh-so-cushy. I like the heal pad.

It's spreading...

I was there for the first time 2 weeks ago. I have to say that it is the best maintained climbing area I've been to, even better than rocky butte!

I'm out for today, going hiking at Silver Creek Falls with the G/f.

I'm in. I'll have gear/rope with me if needed.
