never a dull moment, wish I was up there with you boys

stout work

Great to see Kenny, Jim, Chris, and Jeremy out at beacon having fun last night. Here to many more PSA: I spit all over the SE corner but I think I got most of the one inch tick marks off. Big F U to whomeever put those there. This is no gym, if your GF or BF can't get up the corner without tick marks like tape please do us a favor and dont even put your harness on. Regards, Bryan Schmitz

Looking for a beacon climber for after work this week. Can leave work around 3pm. Looking to do YW or free for all to dasdards to dods.. hit me up!!! I dont care if you only climb 5.3 I can haul you up the corner. Lets climb and swil a beer. Bryan

thanks for sharing, that is quite a tale Bryan

I need a partner for tomorrow after work, anyone interested? I have lead and belay skills. Bryan

Would like to climb after work this week, anyone interested? I can leave work around 3:30 and meet in camas around 4:30. Tuseday?

Hell Yes, Glad you had fun down there my man!

Well....I have serious issues with the new Olson Guide and he knows it. I have spoken with him on this issue. He changed quite a few of the original ratings which is a serious no no in the climbing world. And now we all KNOW it to. Thanks for sharing. Carry on...

Yeah I am a frequent customer of theirs, but I figured if there as a small shop (i.e. the climbmax of paddle sports) I would like to put my $ their.

Hey Guys, I am headed on a float trip down the Grande Ronde River this 4th and need to pick up a few items. Not big into the scene, but I would like to put my cash to a small local owned shop rather than REI. Suggestions? Thanks, Bryan Schmitz

There are a variety of areas listed in the new rock guide for pdx/nw oregon, you should check it out. As far as trail run just head up 35 toward hood and pick any of the numerous trail heads.

Agreed, but you wind up with that kind of stuff when you are ground up climbing and the thinking is: "Hey, I'm on a hell of a nice stance right here, and a quick glance up...SWEET JESUS! what the hell is that up there?....hmmmmm, you consider, if I launch up and have to try and find a good stance someplace up in the wild wyde blue yonder to put a bolt in up there and if I peel from there it's gonna make ugly seem like a tame word....LOL....." so the bolt goes in at the best spot to drill from and it's the wrong spot later when you soon find out that the wide stuff above wasn't as horrific as it looked from below. Ivan has already invited bolt replacements I'm sure he'd be fine with it as would I on any I put in. Sorry bill not trying to bust your balls. Totally appreciate the work, money, time, and sweat you put into helping Ivan with stone soup. Hoping to get back up there to work a fully free varation and might consider taking a drill to move that bolt, with your approval of course. Hope you are healing up well man and I look forward to seeing you some this summer. Cheers Bryan S.

sick!!!

Beware of the bum city down at the base. I think I spotted four or five tents and hovels within a short distance around the toothpick. The meth head that I talked to was scratching all over and told me about all the shit he had in his cave/tarp hovel and that he had been sleeping there for over six months. Does anyone have any experience with calling the cops on the bums living in the woods their? They are obviously leaving all sorts of garbage all over the place. Bryan

Buller? I will be out there near the toothpick. White vibe. I will be mini trax'in if you want to climb I wouldn't mind the company or the belayer. Bryan Schmitz

with one exception. That bolt that is on the wide pitch, needs to be moved up about four feet so it actually keeps you off the ground...

is this directly climbers left of Ivans first pitch of stone soup? I looked at it when we did the stone a couple weeks ago an didn't see any bolts, but I do agree that it looks climbable on gear.

+1

Pics Please!!!!! Even better add a video!

+1 What i think is lame, is as your constant bitching about Ivan's posts and TRs please keep on keeping on Bryan
