corvallisclimb

was out there a while ago to scope the thing, and noticed what 2 bolt lines going directly to the top, and a rope fixed all the way up the regular route. has the horrible ethical standard of smith rock made its way 30 miles east? its sad to see prized summits like steins, that once where only attaind by hardmen seeking adventure. can be attained by your average 5.11 sport wanker on a break from something at smith. what happend to ethics in oregon?

you guys are soft climb with a tripple set of hexs

hmm

How many screamers will you take on an aid climb in the A2+ to A3 range? I own 5 so... pleanty of people have climbed with out them, they are just for peice of mind!

ur drunk

would you really wanna climb with this teen...

there are tons o shiny targets(and i mean tons) on the walls at smith everyone bring yer guns!

my aid rack is 3 rurps 6 beaks 8 kbs 10 las 6 angles doubles of micro nuts doubles of hb offsets doubles of reg nuts set of aliens set of tcus doubles cams up to 3.5 triples of some hooks x 2 cam hooks heads rivet hangers tie offs screamers bolt kit this has gotten me up most everything ive tryed, as well as a few FAs. and when youve got a partner to combine racks with its awsome. its always nice to have alot and its always nice to have a little. see what your style is and what your comfort level is and youll know what to cary. i dont climb anything as hard as jake but for some one who likes to nail and have some adventure, a rack like mine would probably suit. pleanty of routes where put up before all off this modified shit, so go have an adventure and leave some of the newer tech at home.

im 19 and am seeking a 40+ male partner for long climbs and plush bivys???? any takers

i also heard jack osbourn as in ozzies son climbed el cap, mabey you guys could hook up!

im a teen and a climber, but id suggest you try climbing with some older folk as well... I belive that they can teach you quite a bit!

im in for the 22nd. im in wyoming finishing up a wilderness EMT course. and will be back in oregon on the 16th so i would be missing anything close to that. would any one be up for an aid climb, picnic lunch wall? or the mesa verde wall? i need a fix! PS NOLSE: i have a spindle full of DMB shows and some other stuff for you as well as a refund since my sorry ass took a year to do that lol

i hope it will be the last weekend of oct since ill be out of state till then

nick(skyclimb) and i climbed this route yesterday. wich i must say this is a super classic route, nothing like climbing back in oregon. I was able to wake up at 10am in a bed, go climb about a 1000ft route and be back to make my self luch at 2pm. classic! I recomend this as a solo or a quick simul climb to any one in the area. How lucky for those people in boulder

shame shame...you didn't read the whole TR last 4 pictures didnt load when i was looking earlier. shame shame. jake- ill be back in oregon in mid october, lets do some aid in the rain and snow

fuck ya dude... did you guys draw a topo?

Nice work! Skyclimb and I just got off open book on the finger of fate. Great climbing out there.

Yeah I guess it could be a little bit hard to find, let me know if you want a map with detailed directions. Ive put one together and would gladly send it your way.

this is a pretty sick tr http://www.summitpost.org/show/route_link.pl/route_id/5945/object_id/3561

The wilderness entry register is what I was refering to. I belive it is required by law to sign in.

Climb: Rooster Rock Date of Climb: 8/30/2005 Trip Report: I had been planning to take someone on there first rock climb for a while, rooster rock as the objective. We both finally had a day to head out into the hills. Driving out it was pouring between Lebanon and Sweet Home... Not looking so good for a first trip on the rock. Drving further into the cascades things dried up a bit but the mist still loomed. We pulled up to the parking off FS 2027 at about 12:00pm, quickly hit the trial only the be drenched by all the water logged trees. Things where not looking very good for climbing. As luck would have it though, everything surounding was soaked except for the rock, wich tends to be the case but I didnt know when it had last rained. We quickly geared up and where both on top by about 1:30, a bit slippery at times it was nothing to worry about. My partner had requested a veiw on her first climb, wich was given to her, but only for about 5 minnutes. Soon enough we where caught in a full on down pour during the rappel. The hike out was spent even wetter than before, but both my partner and I agreed that it was quite the satisfying day. And I my self got to walk away with the special fact of knowing I had kicked the weathers ass once again. On a side note only one person had signed the register this entire season, no one other than Tom Bauman (hardman). At least some one in the area is getting out there.

sick!

i belive that is the fun of putting up a new is route climbing it in your own style. bash eric kohl for using old leeper hangers on his newer routes. talk shit about jim beyer taping his heads so people cant use a cheat stick on his routes. the list could go on forever but some people do just have bold style and some people plain dont. with that said climb routes that match your style, and dont worry about the other ones untill you can. it seems as if its all fun and games untill someone gets hurt.

interesting note on those, my partner and i found one on the salathe in may and, that night at the bivy we showed it to kitty calhoun, who then declared she had lost left it there earlier that day... damnit to bad i dont still have it
