Tyler, Brian Holcomb had told us his route was unfinished so we went up to finish it back in the 80's sometime I think. I vaguely remember it was Bob McMahon, Andrew Trzynka and I. We did not make it to the high point before saying F**k this and bailing. I never went back and I don't think I could have guessed it from your picture, so thanks for sharing the name. Great guess Radek, what a total obscurity!
Wow Bill great story! I'm surprised we continued on too! I'm going to meet up with Brian sometime this upcoming week to pick his brain.

Brad Englund route?? Whose pic is that?
yup definatly an Englund route. My friends GF snapped this pic of me rappin off.
-
some random spires no one will care to do
Vulture Ridge Spire (5.6 R) - Smith Rock
-
couple of secrets left out there too....
Soft Space (5.8 A2) Horse Cock Rock
-
Ya, the traverse in that picture is drawn in a bit to low. The variation eliminates the pendi, though its only 5.4ish so if your having difficultys at that point you might as well bail.
-
No it's just like 30ft to the left of the normal starting corner, not a major variation. Supposedly fun climbing though for all 40' of it.
-
Did you guys do the new direct start to the 1st pitch that was recently cleaned? Still only 5.8 just eliminates traversing accross the slab for your second.
-
woah I guess that would be Acker? I have never seen it from that angle before though, it looks huge!
-
The Rabbit Ears in the Rouge are freaking sweet, thanks Greg!
-
swell! sucks about the cops i woulda flipped my shit if they hinderd my "big all experince"... next time from dinner do skull queen or souther man, youll enjoy them alot more, the aid being a bit more enetertaining. and less of a chance of having a female cops ass in your face.

Oh, and the pictures linked up there: I think that is the 2nd ascent, the first 4 year old ascent, of Kitty (kiddy) Litter is it not? I missed it but I heard about it! Damn exciting and invigorating, that's the next generation right there running laps on yer routes boyz.
Proud!
:tup: if only I could have been doing that when I was that young! -
well this is what he/she was trying to post.....
totally gets you stoaked on the farside eh!!! lol
-
Cant see any pictures.
they are all butt shots of 8 yr old girls..... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
-
this was fun
don't know, but based on shade of the choss, I'd guess something on the faces immediately downriver from monument, say little 3fj or london tower?? nice - shows a big sawth of rock but still not clear to me.
spot on... since no one has probably done it thats the Adams/Emde Variation to the Victory of the Prolitarian Peoples Ambition Arete. Our variation was extremely dangerous, one of my most dangerous leads ever, the anchor at the end probably wouldnt have held a loaf of bread.
-
Nope not Treyvor from that one day. Its my bro Randy Rimby from Eugene, on a Bauman route. The name and location though are...
-
anyone know what this classic 3 pitch route is????
-
and theres a couple of sets of bunny ears out there as well
-
there some cool pinnacles in Oregon that have some weird holes through them....
-
Bryan- i was not talking about you at all. your situation sucks you have all the right to be pissed and to place those bolts. im on your side 100%
-
god this is fucking hilarious hahahahahahahah boooo fuckin hooooo two bolts showed up at some peice of shit crag in the gorge (sorry bill et. all you know i love the choss, but it aint nothing to write home to mom about) i mean seriously do you guys think your setting some new standards at the d zone? i've had my fun trying to act hardcore about bolts n shit. but im over it and i realize how fucking selfish we as climbers have become. everyone really just needs to take a step back and look at your selves, i dont know the chopper but it seems like hes been around long enough to realize hes acting like hes in highschool just like half of ya all. i'm not trying to start a fight with any one. i like and respect each and every one of you. i just want you guys to realize im only 24 and i think you guys are acting like abunch of fucking pussys. this is seriously retarted.
-
i'd say more or less pitch 2 and 3 are both about 80-90' and all aid if your climbingg 5.10 and under. then all free to the top, unless you aid the rotten block.
-
the first pitch alone is prolly around 150' heres a shot looking up the belays at the top of the piss stain
-
Nice Eric! Where is that pinnacle in Oregon? looks sick!
Way to finally finish her eh? Now I can have a crack?
-
And what's with the screamer/ice tool/cord combo?
I'll second that? Time for a second edition Mike, gotta add what ever the hell that is that to the book.
name that route!
in Oregon Cascades

Too add to it all... I thought I was on route the whole time because I thought I was following the natural features. Thomas kept yelling at me wondering why I was throwing so much shit off having to garden every hold while placing gear behind a giant bongo flake. Once I got to my "belay" I look down and 30 ft below and way out on the face I spotted their presumed high point. Brian and company made the right choice of avoiding the choss and making the second pitch a bolted face climb. I thought the opposite, wich well in the end created that mess. We climbed another three pitches to the top, slowly the rock got better.
