corvallisclimb

I found this cool looking crag over on summitpost the rock looks pretty good in one of the pictures, but its a hell of an approach. Being sort of close to Portland I think, has any one ever been out there before?

goin for nnw?

whatcha doin????

My friend purchased about 5 acres in Patagonia, about the easiest purchase he ever made. Look at all the land Tompkins owns! If you want I could probably put you in contact with some people who could help.

no prob, they where always expensive as far as i can remember.

i think ill just start base jumping off all climbs

Cool thanks for all the info! I had been useing a square knot with backups, so mabey this isnt the best?

this might help? oh and this or this.

nice work

No beef with you, I'm just putting the info out there for others, don't take so much offense! The only beef I have is with the turkey monster since it almost killed my friend.

Yeah but this isnt some crag, its an 11a sandbag with 30 yr old bolts, some of them missing off the crux pitch. I seriously would not be surprised if you fell on P3 you would rip the pitch to the belay.

This would be a easy route to solo if you can't find a partner. All bomber bolted anchors. Watch for the peregrines I was almost attacked by one on the last pitch of Steins.

im in camp sherman/sisters looking to go climb. shoot me a pm tonight or twmorrow morning or something.

Listen to retired! Jim- Check your PMs!

Thats FS850 and the Turkey Monster in the Menagerie.

yeah im definatly excited to see the material and such. but i have my doubts about how it was done, i would really be amazed if they climbed all those routes on rooster, chicken and hen rock in jims menagerie guide. jim took me up some of his harder routes up there, and god damn am i impressed by those guys! having the santiam pinnacle and some of the rocks around there makes me wonder how much of this shit these guys actually climbed. i guess it would be nice to hear from the authors them selves or know a little more about them.

wtf thats sad that two guys that seem to not have much experince wrote a book on oregon and included places they know nothing about.

never seen that? where did you find that... sure its not a joke? who are the authors? ps mark im headed out east today give me a call if your free at all this week

Sweetwater rocks in wyoming is awsome!! some of the best slab climbs ive ever done on lankin dome there. i really suggest that. sawtooths in idaho are obviously great! pictures at sweet water rocks

what knots do you use to join larger ropes with skinnier ones. I have a 10.8 and a 7 a have experimented with diffrent knots and dont know whats best. who knows?

Jim got me a newer copy this past week and its great! A couple of new routes and pictures as well. Every one that worked on it put lots of effort into the book many to you guys! If you have an old copy I suggest you exchange it and if you haven't bought one yet do so.

kevbone- i see you post a bit regarding the safety of routes, and how "dangerous" run out routes are just stupid.... there are plenty of extremely well protected climbs out there that you can do. just cuz they scare you doesnt mean they are wrong. run out x rated climbs are not a waste they are the testpeices and adventure climbs that some of us strive for.

couldnt that be a guy? or does the avi give it away?

i drink mine for the high... its freakin unreal
