  1. Drive out to Hylite, Airborne Ranger is fat and touching, go get it. Not all the ice has fallen down, just most places where it is raining instead of snowing like it is right now, here in B-man.
  2. You are all out of you element, I am the young stud so obviously she will choose me.
  3. LOL, kinda like any girl at a bar in Boyzmen, MT.
  4. wanna mail themt to me? Bryan Schmitz 2727 Daisy Dr Bozeman, mt, 59718
  5. The brush and thorns might be nasty
  6. Sounds like they finished plowing and now are allowing travel up hylite. Come and Get It, is huge for any of you hardmen around here.
  7. trade for the ergos
  8. John has so much route beta and photos that that he must need his own server to stop his laptop form crashing.
  9. the hostel out past the howard johnson is s good bet I think beds start at $17 a night. Also a plus is partying with all the other travelers and the hosts there at the hostel know how to show you good time.
  10. Here they are two crampons and two sets of extra points for the front. $30 plus whatever shipping is will get them to you. these crampons will help you achieve your ice goals, perfectly capable of climbing WI6- M6.
  11. First I can think of only a handful of climbing areas in the United States that have signs pointing you to the direction of the climbs. Second, now that trout is as known as just about any other place in oregon that peopel try and keep on the DL, like Moolack, Ozone, and trout, the idea that someone is actually going to go trapping along the banks of the deshutes looking for this crag is dumb. No one is going to do that. Trout is unique becasue of the setting, the quality of the routes, the type of climbers it brings to climb there, not how you found it.
  12. Having a guide book for and area with no directions is like telling a kid that he gets to pass out out candy on Halloween to all the neighbor kids but not actually collect any himself, or get to put the sweet costume of batman on.
  13. Matt, you should just sneak into Conrad's garage over on Curtiss St. and just find one that fits.
  14. What bill is referring to is this: WUE: Western Undergraduate Exchange. http://wue.wiche.edu/ It minimum High school GPA and Standardized test scores requirements. I received a $7000 wavier every year for four years at Bozeman, MT.
  15. wanna trade your quarks for my ergos?
  16. I think there is a cairn on the ground by the trail, the trail is well distinguished now, so make sure you take the trail instead of hiking straight up. Hiking straight up is shitty and there are some rattle snakes out there for sure. (personal experience)
  17. Where's yours, I know you want to show it off.
  18. bring your rock shoes just in case and enjoy the three types of rock that are in cody. Limestone, Granite, and Dolomite. Super fun stuff.
  19. Not true about handling the crowds, I have been there on days when there is 15+ at the crag, and it was no problem. The reason for this is that the majority of the routes there are between 5.10-5.11, and they are all great five star quality. So if Gold isn't in go on down the line, and since the pitchs are demanding like indian creek or devils tower you have to take nice rest on the flat columns between laps. But is is my understanding and compliance that no directions should be posted. Find it for yourself just like everyone else and be thankful for the clues. each area has the right to be specifically unique and this is one aspect of trout that adds to the character and aurora .
  20. About time I posted this: Right before I started my graduate school I was blessed to with my first FA in Cody, WY. Gift of Time WI5 85m This route is located on the face lookers right of the Main Vein Drainage about 800 feet up and a 1000 feet over lookers right on a large ledge. Approach: Climb Main Vein, head up drainage 800 or so feet to the second big ledge on climbers left. traverse around the front for a 1000 feet or so until you come to the climb. Watch out for avy pockets, we let one slid and it is several thousand feet to the bottom. Starting the Traverse The route in the background: two pitchs Sam M. on a stout and impressive lead Me Following the first pitch the second pitch was a 45m WI3+ and by that point we figured we were less then a half an hour hike to the top of the ridge. Maybe 3500 vertical feet gain over the day from car to car. We go to the top of the Main Vein headwall pitch just as it was time to turn on the headlamps.
  21. The one next to it.
  22. anybody with any google abilities should be able to find it.
