This book kicks ass. I recommend that you take it to a print shop and cut out that shitty glue binding and have them lament the cover and insert plastic spiral binding so that you can lay it flat.

Thought I would get the info out: It is in and touching all the way down. Wish I hadn't just drove two straight days and I had my trusty partner. That thing look so sweet and wild, nice work Wayne. On another note east of the John day there appears to be some great road side cragging, dozen + flows of all grades.

There is no need to post when: The Ice is Fat: climbed G1, G2, hangover, on Tuesday this week after a final exam. The cold weather had shrunk the climbs and forced the water over the top. The climbs had grown a couple feet from when I had seen them earlier. Pretty much all of the climbs are in and since the road is plowed you can drive your rental right up. Once the ice is fat it doesn't go away...its not the gorge. (at least until April 'ish) I would assume that Cody, WY is rocking. California Ice would be in as would the rest of the routes in the East Rosebud which are right off the road.

More Stoke:

Chipped tooth: check Mustache: Check looking good: double check

Don that come out for Thanksgiving a couple years back?

Does this mean that you Oregonians won't be crowding my parking lot this weekend?

Thanks for coming out John, sorry I didn't get in touch with you for some breakfast before you got on the road for PDX. Did you continue to chide Roger for me? Hope we can get some climbing in when I come back to live in Oregon for the spring. Is that blood on the top of the "western"

John got lucky, the cop was intimidated by my mustache.

Trip: Hyalite Canyon - Respnsible Family Men 60m WI5 Date: 11/29/2008 Trip Report: Two years ago I hiked out to Responsible feeling pretty dialed and subsequently failed to send, and left feeling dejected. This winter is my last as a student and my last being a resident of Bozeman, America and as such I have a few routes that I need to check off in Bozeman and Cody before I leave. On Saturday, Pete Redman and Josh Gage and I headed out to the Dribbles Area with the intent of climbing Responsible Family Men. This was going to be my 9th day on the tools this year and I was just twitching with the possibility of climbing some sick steep ice and I had a bit of some revenge to enact. We approached via the avy gulch and traversed over two bowls to reach the Responsible gully. Climbed the lookers left side start to the ice. The approach up avalanche gulch. The Stoke: Gear Notes: Various screws 2-3 Knifeblades 0 or 00 tcu for belay double ropes and a double length sling for the last rock piece if you plan on doing it in one pitch. Approach Notes: Go to Dribbles,hike north to the fist pitch of Avalanche Gulch. Climb to last major ledge system before headwall.

If you can get in touch with Tony Yaniro he would probably have some good information for you. It is my understanding that this area was his little design project. He lives in Bozeman, Mt, maybe look him up in the yellow pages.

Who all is going? Who is bringing the Keg?

let em burn...it seems that these company's refuse to make the changes necessary to become and stay a profitable business.

Pics of the inside would be nice to!!!

Pics?

Doug Chabot went out there this weekend and turned around because the first pitch was not in and the upper pitchs were thin. He also noted that snow is starting to accumulate up there so if you do go, be careful, the approach is no gimmie.
