My wife and I are moving to the bay for a job and we have to cut my possessions in half so I can fit in a small apartment.

Hell Yeah Boys! I just want to say that every one of my trips to this place were memorable. Thank you, Eric, Bill & Geoff for having me along on your dreams, I truly cherish our times on the Rapunzel. Sincerely, Bryan Schmitz

The AAC and the Mazamas=local government Really?

There is someone from the American alpine club right, another the mazams, seemed reasonable to have those groups have a say.

These are sweet skis, so light for being so big

I saw one of the commercials, looks pretty sweet

February 4th I think

How was Dutch Charlie looking? Always wanted to do that climb. The granite there looks great.

+1 Excited to watch the episode

I would like to come crawling

Pins pulling? Thought I had been assured that would never happen on the south face.

Except for the fact that checking a pin requires you to carry a hammer around all the time. Which is just so damn reasonable. Personally I would love to see some actual real scientific data that says pins last longer than bolts and are safer.....

That second pin in the above picture is why I think it is stupid to keep replacing shitty pins with pins that will soon become shitty

Very nice, stoked to check this out, thanks for the gardening work.

I was just trying to troll joesph. I myself haven't been on the Dutchman, so my opinion matters none. However I don't generally like fixed gear unless it is a bolt. Scares me.

All the pins out at Beacon are bomber. Joe check each and every one of them constantly. No need to replace a bomber pin with a shitty bolt.

Next time you should come. Got my eye on a couple out by detroit lake

Pics coming soon! Can't upload from my phone. Still can't believe those tatas and that flaming van.

Looking if anyone is interested in going for a little canyoneering session in the columbia gorge this weekend. Anyone interested? Thanks for looking Bryan Schmitz

very nice

Meet at 5:00am and nailed the first lap of the corner! Back at work in downtown portland by 9am. Really wanted to curb stomp that Closed sign.

Joe you act like Trad climbers and different than sport climbers and that they are completely separate user groups. Also you act like there isn't sport routes already at Beacon. You get a grip and stop acting so old, you remind me of a republican that is still bitching about roe v wade.

Don't worry joe I am sure that the first directive will be to replace all the pins with bolts. But I guess you are right, we shouldn't have a real way of communication, the suggestion box and bulletin board work perfectly
