hey i was the one that took pics of you... ill post em when im not drunk. nice job you guys crusied it! oh and there is a real trail

shit so now I have to drive an extra 20 min to my house... seriously though... if your going to come and camp the bivy is killer just be super low key sleeping in your cars, most people that travel dont have a parks pass so your parking is included there with your camp fee. and you get a shower. and your camped there. the only reason you cant sleep in your car is because its a county ordinance. a sherrif would have to come give you a ticket as there are no state park leos in the area. if your cool about it youll be fine. ive stayed there 3-4 times the past few years after getting too wasted and always sleep in my truck and never pay... never been hassled. other wise the shit hole of a camp ground the grasslands was/is is still surrounded by thousands of acres of BLM land. camp where ever the fuck you want. also pleantiful blm land even closer 2.5 mi down lower bridge road. and that sets you up for a trip through terrbonne in the morning.

Bill- Just to get the history part straight Brook Sandhal added the bolts to the line in the mid 90's. Brad England replaced almost every bolt on P2. You hardly need any rack for the route as you can back clean everything. Mostly a set of offset nuts and small cams will be all need. P2 is all bolts. P3 is the same 5.4 pitch you climb to the sumit of Brogan when doing the Marsupial Traverse or the West Face. Prolly one of the best routes to practice cleaning traverses as its all bolts. After turning the roof on P2 you would start to get wet though.

Very cool! And a proud effort! I've enjoyed a few days out there this season my self!

Some unknown assholes from Portland where up there about two years ago dropping thousand pound blocks off it in the middle of a Saturday in some lame attempt to clean that thing up. You can see them at the base. They got caught and got a good talking too. I wonder if they are the same people that added the bolts to the second pitch. For some reason this route has been seeing alot of attention latley? Some friends went to climb it yesterday and found you or someone else already on it. Its your average Smith rubble pile untill pitch 5, it will never really clean up. Unless you've got balls like Thomas then considerable amounts of aid will be used to reach P5.

thanks! err well i ment i would be using it 5-6 nights but maybe more some nights for extended cooking sessions, but i was stilling thinking 2 should be enough... just would hate to let down the lady with my hardcore outdoor skillz

Hey I all I just got an MSR windpro stove for a little backpacking with my grilfriend. Were taking a 5 or 6 night trip and I'm wondering how much fuel this thing uses. As I have not gotten to use it to feel it out yet. This going to be one of those trips where every once counts... so how many 8oz fuel cannisters, 2 or 3? Well be using it for dinner and breakfast. mostly boiling water and stuff but cooking some meals 2 or 3 nights, and making freezedried eggs and warming precooked bacon. sorry for the dumb noob question. but i hate carrying extra shit.

I just want to thank everyone that has helped with me in replacing bolts. Thats a lot of bolts! With out you guys this shit would never get done, so THANKS! And with out ASCA non of this would have ever happend. This ones for you!

You are a serious ass hole. I never tryed to be a dick, or say I'm "the foremost authority on to Oregon Climbing". I just have a serious passion for all things regarding Oregon Climbing, and that seems to piss you off. You honesly hate me for no fucking reason and it is so fucking lame. Fuck off dude, your guide book is going to blow ass and no one will fucking buy that peice of shit. So ya keep dreaming of the profits. YOU ARE A TOTAL DICK! AND EVEYONE I KNOW THAT KNOWS YOU SAYS THAT. I'm done with you and all your bullshit so don't even bother to respond. Because I won't.

then don't participate in the thread. it has nothiing to do with you right? its not a climbing area of interest or pertinance. You think maybe you could just move on from it, or does its mere presence bother you? I ignore threads all the time. I don't muck with and completely ignore your "pinnacle" threads all the time because it doesn't stoke me. I don't need to make a big deal to you about how they bore me and how I don't feel they have their place - I leave it and ignore it. Try it Climbing content that will be gained from me will be in guidebook form for a number of areas that up until this point cannot be featured on a website like this so, as far as "contributing content" - pm me, i trade content with people all the time, on a private basis because of where i climb just got back from climbing with my daughter. Will probably put some stoke up - but everyone on this website is anti-bouldering so you can't please everybody i guess... Put this thread in spray then, because its relavance to Oregon Climbing is zilch. Bolting on those bolders has been discussed before, and no one gives a shit! You've lost the pure essence of climbing. Keep dreaming of trying to make a profit of writing a guide book. Have fun and please try to be less serious. I'll stay outta your threads, but if your going to post a bitch fest keep it elsewhere!

Nice Chris glad you had fun!

You ever posted any real climbing content other than the same old bitching about bolts? I mean theres a time and place but comeon dude seriously most people don't give a shit, go climbing and post about that, quit the bitching about bolts your not getting youself ANYWHERE. Nor are you setting any standards. Give up your elitist attitude and just go climbing. Not trying to start some fight, I just want to see climbing content instead of the non stop bitch sessions. If I could be the mod, I would just delete these threads the second thaey start up.

Well then you have to finish off the day running up Burma road dragging some tires.

this is is a classic route that deserves MUCH more traffic
