people are stupid

ill give you $201 cash money....

do you have a topo for that area? I am assuming that you have the first? I like to be second...just not if a girl is involved. HA

why would you sell these when the value will be much higher as the years go on? I mean look at the needles guide that f thing sells for like 200 now. Can you tell us what you sold them for. i hope you are getting more than $350, especialy if they are mint.

Looking for some recomendations for routes that wont be so crowded. Maybe a little run out, but still fun. Any other beta wouold be appreciated. Do I need to bring two ropes? Thanks for lurking and a double thanks if you reply.

notice....cave behind me. That ice wasnt coming off, and if it did it wouldnt have hit me. Those are bolts not screws, so the quality of the ice matter little really. Dane's photos is in relation to how well john knows how to fall on ice without getting hurt! Something that not many people can say can do

damn good belay if I do say so myself, take in that slack!!

Twin Sisters Tyler A. and Chris F. and the Prize: one of the coolest looking routes i have seen in Oregon!

or just give joe his on private forum to bitch in

Was always curious if you would actually pull it off? Nice work buddy! Next time that you drive south hit me up, I am always looking for partners!

Looking to climb something fun! hard or easy. Check my TR's for references. I would like my partner to be able to follow 5.10+ or 5.11- at a minimum. PLease let me know if you want to climb soem classics or some obscurities! cheers, bryan

Did anyone else notice that timmy is passing a bowl in the opening photo of him laying in his sleeping bag on the ledge? HA

maybe in PDX I wish this was the case down here. This has been a good read, but I would try and find other options, besides leaving your job. Maybe a relocation is in order, someplace you can climb most days after work? I am in a very similar boat. 25yrs, working like a peon. But i have been finding it best to work with my company. I figured out how to take a "sabbatical" in low chargeable times so they can take me off the payroll for a month and I gte to go play while keeping my benefits. That said I do have several buddies that work the unemployment gig and go spend this time of the year in Chile. Lots of stuff to think about propbably best to make a list of Pro's and Con's. good luck

oh thats right you have that one....Dane has one from when twight climbed Denali in a push
