ATTN: I am performing a community service to all cc'ers by destroying any and all suspect cch cams..I would be especially concerneed in any of you own the offset styles and should ship them to me immediatly...pm me for the appropriate address to mail them to...

All non locking biners, even wiregates can flutter and come unclipped. I took a huge fall earlier this summer on mescalito and a biner on the cam below the one that caught me cam off. it was an oval wiregate bd. thank god that #0 metolius held me . anyhow use a locker if you are concerned but I think it is pretty rare for this to happen.

I saw this punker kid beggin for money in eugene. He had a sign that read "Spit on me $1.00" effin wierdos

I am planning on going to Yose aroudn the 1st.....duration uknnow as well....Any flexibility on departure...i was planning on hitchhiking there or driving my jeep but I really do not want to drive there alone

Has anyone done liberty crack yet this year??? or around this time of year in the past...I am jsut wanting to know what to expect on the free sections...I am not too worried about the aid pitches..

I will buy the crampons....do you still have them???

I was wondering what the conditions (besides wet) of liberty crack at this time of year. I was considering an early season ascent but was wanting some feedback regarding conditions/feasibility of the route. any info would be greatly appreciated.

Appartently a 60 yr old climber fell into a crevasse, unroped. A resuce is under way. the link below has more info. http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_051804_news_hood_rescue.1d3d0a633.html

"It's pretty rare to need, or to have the energy to carry, more than one set of cams up a route" ???????????????? I dont know wtf you are climbing at but on most routes I climb I find it very useful to have a double set of cams, unless you are wanting to run it out a lot. Also if you are having to build anchors the climb will be more gear intensive.

The word on the street is that the Menagerie guide will be included in the new S.W. Oregon climbing guide. Locals have done a really good job at keeping this place on the down low. Most oregon climber have never heard of it.

I am interested. are there any other eugene ccr's out there?

Right on. Now I can go out to the crag, tie in to the gearloops on my super safe metolius harness and then take whippers on my new fangled rangefinder cams, as long as I am in the "green zone" I should be fine right???

The turkey monster has been freed, and done a long time ago. Here is an experpt from the underground menagerie guide. "Route 1 Dod Route (North Face) 5.11a F.A. Eugene Dod, Dave Jensen, Bill Pratt 1966 This route was originally done nearly all on aid, in the mid 1970’s Jeff Thomas was the first to free the bird with a variation on the third pitch, Tom Blust free climbed the original finish a short while later."

I am looking for a partner to climb with in the valley. I am just looking to climb a lot and have fun. I can climb .9+ to .10- but am willing to climb just about anything. send a reply or pm if interested

I lost my precious orange patagonia capiliene on the Teanaway River Rd. I was parked at the last snow drift on the way to the Ingalls Pass T.H. this has sentimental value to me and any finder will be rewarded.
