Jim- I'm curious do you have any photos to share? -Tyler

hmmm sounds like a case of stoners leavin there shit every where

any one know anything about it? its located near lake billy chinook off FS1499. I read about it in a friends old guide to oregon wilderness, I've got a family house out there and wondering it it would be worth a trip. all it says in the book that I remember is that theres a 5.4 route to the top. so thats all I know.

Climb: Menagerie (with pictures)- Date of Climb: 7/16/2004 Trip Report: I returned to the menagerie a week later to attempt the closer approach. All of the gates where open so we where able to get to the look out where you can see the north rabbit ear. We couldnt find the trail down to the old parking area so we just parked at the sump on 850 and hiked the extra 10 min wich still was much better than the other hike in. We hiked straight to rooster rock so I could orient my self, we climbed it again this time I didnt clip any of the bolts just threw in an extra micro cam. Brought a camera this time thats bascially the only reason i posted another TR so I could show the pictures. thats shot of my friend brad who i took with me the north face of rooster rock looking down route from rap anchors me on top her are some pictures of other rocks in the menagerie the first is of the rabbit ears the other two i dont know wich ones they are thats all thanks for your time

mmm yes, just say you dont plan on taking a tent and depending on the partner they will be forced by there weakness into carrying the tent.

I'm new to aid but so very interested and motivated to learn. If there is any one out there that wants to teach me, have me be their belay slave so i can watch or something please let me know. ive practiced clean aid in cracks, climbed bolt ladders etc, but dont know any one interested enough to persue aid with me. i have a pretty good sized rack, and some hooks wich ive practiced with as well. i will buy you beer or get you high , just as long as we can do some aid climbing first. thank you tyler

how do i add multiple pictures to my post

just got back from the menagerie again today, the back way in is open! climbed rooster rock again this time i didnt use any of the fixed pro, just placed 2 more cams. wich was fun and easy. this time a took a couple pictures of climbing and some of the other formations wich i will post.

Climb: Rooster Rock (Menagerie Wilderness)-Regular North Face w/ 5.6 variation Date of Climb: 7/9/2004 Trip Report: I took 2 of my female friends up rooster rock today, my first time as well. We slogged up the 2000ft in 2 miles approach trail, wich definatly keeps the masses away. Didnt quite know what to expect so I carried my whole rack wich was completly unessesary. We only had one rope with three people so I led up to where there where two old bolts from when there was a fire tower, belayed the girls up to there. Then led the last 60ft to the summit, there was a long run out at the end that was acctually pretty fun cuz the climbing was easy. Brought the girls up one at a time, it was awsome seeing there expressions when they peered over the rock to see the veiw, it was definatly a first for them. I lowerd em down to the middle anchors then lowerd my self to there, we all rapped on our own from there and called it a day. I was totaly stoaked with the trip, at first I was a little nervous taking the girls out, but everything went perfectly. I can't wait to get out there and do some of the other climbs there, that wilderness is just awsome. Gear Notes: 3 draws, #4 HB flex cam, #5 & #8 power cam

Is there any place in Oregon that has some good aid climbs, nothing to hard mabey A2+ at the most, something that protects well. I would really love to get my skills down as an aid climber. Thanks

thanks guys, Dodges was the one i was thinking of and could not remember. any of you know where to get ahold of that? ill check amazon but thats about my only idea.

I tryed e-mailing him but that one didnt seem to work. If you could email me at @ corvallisdmbtaper@hotmail.com with any info he gave you that would be awsome.

does any one have a list of most of the rock climbing guides related to oregon and where they can be found. i've heard of ones about the willamette valley but never seen anything.

whoops yeah http://ors.alpineclub.org/AAC/tsf.html my bad

I found this, and was wondering if anyone on here knew anything more.

Yeah, I have practiced aiding the cracks at the columns on top rope and lead. Also have checked out a bit of the menagerie, I got the guide that Jim Anglin put together. Addie: I would love to climb with you guys, you can also drop me a line 541.231.9294 and on AIM: zepplinzen

looking for new people to climb with in the corvallis area. would be great to find another person interested in aid. but anything works. can lead 5.9 and follow 5.10+, also just been getting into leading some trad.

sooo much good mexican food in the PNW my favorite tacos urapan on 3rd st in corvallis... good food and good horchata

Jim, thanks so much for sending me the guide. I had the chance to hike around up there and explore many of the formations. Didn't get a chance to climb anything yet, as we spent the day hiking around looking. I cant wait to get back and get up some of those routes.
