Looks like Ivan has started a trend with the mini bomb box! ah, but geoff does not, at least based on this pic, appear to have yet bought into my fondness for tying into the muzak as well your guys' suck cuz they aint water proof at least i can kayak with my shit. nice work geoff and ben you guys climbed the meat and core of the route cept the 5.5 pitch. its like people bailing from tapir terrace w/out topping out, but that happens more often. well done! thomas emde and mabey mike stoger did the ffa at like 12a or some shit i think otherwise the routes a "chill" 11a A0 what ever that means.

alex was just tryin to keep the bs brozone and beacon spray outta the oregon fourm

what happend on astroman?!?! we did the rostrum instead...figured I shouldn't get in over my head on my first day in the valley. The route had some super classic crack pitchs. Going back this weekend and every weekend I can until.... come on down when you are done with work so we can get high on the wall. that aint that much of a step down! nice job dude! will keep you posted hopefully we can be on some steep wall soon!

what happend on astroman?!?!

hell ya this tread is loaded with sick oregon shots!!!!!!!!!

the chalk arrows on round river are even better

heres the few pictures i took geoff leading P1 while ivan belays gettin close to the summit again ivan on top ivan taking pictures of us after the FA of the zebra

fahqin stoke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rawk: :brew:

lol quick response to the tread till i have more time retro-bolt=add more bolts re-bolt=replace existing bolts there are two retro bolts on route. i didn't do em, chris added them with waynes permission in 06. the 1st bolt on P1 and yes the crux bolt next to the KB on P6. and well since you copyed what i put on sp.com and put on this thread, how was that not current enough since i had updated it this summer after re thinking some pitch ratings. and theres and obvious trail too. either way nice job and pictures. ps: joseph - the fixed KB is a #1 KB 1 size up from a rurp sooo... i would never drill a bolt next to a pin but i respect the decision

Menagerie Wilderness South Rabbit Ear - West Face 1 lead bolt on P2 (fat 1/2" hand drilled!) w/ Wilbur Nazarian & Mai Hyman Sept 09

joeseph- i will make it to beacon before the weathers shit justin- look forward to seeing you out there, any tools would help, we probably wont get into anything too crazy though. but a small rack of trail tools would be nice.

hey Joseph, youtlkut aint anywhere near the menagerie! nor is it a cool wilderness area.... when are you going to get off beacon and come check this stuff out down here? but thanks for the thread bump!

this weekend the 26th/27th I will be up in the Menagerie doing some trail work and climbing with a few people. if anyone is interested in coming and mabey working on a trail for half a day or something PM or just show up at the upper menagerie parking area on staurday or sunday. theres some sweet stone up there!

All the lines in the Watts book are wrong. We used 80% of the original holes and added no bolts. Replaced everything bolt for bolt. The line up to the left of the mitten was a attempt by Vince Groner back in 98. I belive he found the flake to be too hollow sounding.

oh whoops then I came back a couple days later by my self and did a little more work on the bridge... Menagerie Wilderness The Bridge - Butterfly Buttress 1 Lead Bolt 2 Anchor bolts removed the offending tree during the mid route rap and the bush wich gets in the way linking P3 and P4

Menagerie Wilderness The Bridge - Butterfly Buttress 2 Lead Bolts 2 Anchor Bolts W/ Brian Gilbert Aug 09 and while we where climbing that route Chris rapped in and... The Bridge - The Newt Route 3 Lead Bolts 4 Lead Hangers 3 Anchor Hangers 1 Added lead bolt to P3(since its his FA) By Chris Fralick

Russ Mitrovich soloed the zodiac with only daisys. Supposedly shonerd used knives he took from the cafe on that time machine route and tied 2 ropes together for a 300' pitch.

for real?!?!?! oregon rock climbing rivals yosemite!!!

sportsmans warehouse im sure probably has them in bend. on the n side of town kinda by where gi joes was.

Menagerie Wilderness Boulder Dome - 10b finish option 1 lead bolt W/ Brian Gilbert August 09

now there is no reason to not go up there and climb this route. Smith Rock The Wombat - Santiam Highway Ledges 14 lead bolts 6 anchor bolts W/ Jim Ablao & Aaron Webb August 09 Most thanks for this goes to Jim for hiking up most of the gear and ropes. And fixing a line so I could jug up and discover the anchor had been half chewed through by a rat while I bounced around on it. Now go get some this is an incredible route.

Menagerie The Sphinx 1 summit anchor bolt and webbing The Pharoh 1 summit anchor bolt and webbing W/ Catherine Power Aug 09

yo snoop that was me i think with mark d we got totaly shit faced???

Mark. Any of these your routes? nope not marks, all is well now

I found this to be the best and most direct start some 5.9 face moves protected with some small brass gets you up to where you can traverse right to easier climbing. The corner to the right that Clint shows would be a lot harder than 5.6 I think with no gear.
