Hello, I am looking for some help. People keep telling me that the gunks routes are graded stiff, yet everyone say's that about there home town crags so here is the question. I will be there for four days and I am looking for some route recomendations. Currently I just now breaking into 5.11 trad meaning that I can get up them but usally take a one fall. I can onsight reliably up to 10+. So if anyone has any recomendations for routes I would greatly appreciate it. I am looking to get on some long classic cruisers and some stout horziontal hand roof cracks. Secondly which campground is best? Thirdly, there are a ton of guide books for the area which one is the best, most compreehnsive and accurate? I will buy it becuase I love having them around so being up to date is key also. Thank You for All of Your Help Bryan

Thinking carver, been wanting to get on dreamscape again, but i would go elsewhere if there are not takers.

Sorry couldn't leave work until 6:00 and the traffic on the cams looked horrendous on I-205.

What did I tell you about those maxim ropes.

To about what time are people going to stay tell?

John do you wanna do any Dtin or should I just bring the rock gear?

So beacon it is on tuesday,

thought it was still closed until the july

thought beacon was closed until 7/15?

thanks for the info, and the headds up on the road. Wasn't trying diss on it being an aid line or other indivuals who freed it, becasue I have a ton respect for guys/gals that can climb at that level in circumstances that the turkey monster creates. bryan

or we could go elsewhere.....

Looking to get some pump action, any takers. Bryan

Listen corvallisclimb i am not sure what you beef with me is but I am well aware that this ins't just some crag. Not your everyday joe talks or thinks about freeing an old aid line with gear and bolts he knwos to be suspect. However, your concern for my well being is greatly appreciated and thnak you for your thoughts and prayers. I'll be thinking of you from the top.

I am going to prineville resouvior for the weekend and wan tto climb one of those days. I am looking for a partner to climb the stiens pillar with But it would be a thing where I would meet you there. Anyways if you want to do it, let me know.

I don't just want to find it I want to find it, and spy on it, and capture it and hopefully free it( if you get my dirft )

Are you sure because I have seen some photos of people doing it, just not sure where, and I would rather not spend all day driving the boat around look for solid rock. I know that there are a bunch of cliffs that go straight into the water. So...

I spoke with a lady at the ranger station and she said that all the roads should be open. So that is good news for anyone that wants to start climbing out there. Thanks dan for the number.

the road that takes you out to the turket monster in the meangiere.

does anyone know if you can get into this road yet, or ..

Is it raining in pdx, it is herein salem?

I tihnk that I will be there around 4:30ish

I am headed out with the family to prinville in a couple of weeks and I am wondering if anyone knows a particular spot where there is an area where the rock is of fair enough quality to do some soloing. Any info would awsome.

i HAVE THE TECH FRIENDS AND I PREFER THEM OVER THE CAMALOTS. i THINK THEY ARE MADE EXTREMLY WELL i KNOW GUYS THAT HAVE HAD THERE FORGED FRIENDS FOR 20 YEARS. tHE TECH FRIENDS ARE LIGHTER AND CHEAPER$ THAN THE C4'S. I HAVE FOUND THAT I STICK MY BUDDY'S CAMOLTS FAR MORE OFTEN THAN MY OWN FRIENDS BUT THEN AGAIN I USE MY WC FRIENDS MORE OFTEN.
