S'all good.

Supposed to be nice out there. My usual climbing partner might be a little too masochistic to enjoy sport (and trad) climbing on sun-warmed rocks (i.e. he's into alpinism of late); if he can't make it I'm still looking at getting out to Smith this Saturday to climb; also spend night at campground on Sat. night and climb again Sunday before heading back to Portland Sunday evening. Ride, gear, etc. all provided (I have a day job now). Looking to climb mainly easier sport (sub 5.10) but if you have a harder project you want to try I'm happy to belay and have a trad rack you can use too. I just want to get in the sun and fresh air.

great work Ben. Looks like a real sketch-fest. Can't say I'm sorry I missed that one.

let's climb it on Friday; then I'll post one!

he he he. dumb*ss partner of yours, too.

since no one else answered ... I say stop trying.

Ben has ss covered ... Fear not.

word!

sent you a PM. I like the plan. I'm in downton Portland.

Pearly Gates or Coop Spur? I did Pearly last weekend with Ben.

emailed you.

Have fun gang. Thanks for the invite electric eric.

I lead and have gear; I'm thinking not anything over 5.9 (haven't done much rock climbing recently), male, 195 lbs.

anybody from portland want to head out to Smith Friday for some easier sport climbing on Saturday morning?

*size M I believe

I have a Borea ski pack. strap is blown out and the top zipper on the lid is shot. But it's arc'teryx and I'd let it go for cheap. Good for skiing and ice climbing

I am thinking it's icy up there; anyone know?

Electric Eric, I sent you a PM

that rock looks pretty decent for olys. Do you have more pics? SJwages, I think I owe you half a rope.

sublime. Want to go to there.

that would be a different Mt. Washington. Perhaps folks avoid the NE ridge because it's a choss-covered nightmare.

neat. what causes?

cosmic scratches ... is that some kind of Eastern thing?

There has been some interest but the set is still available. send PM if you wish, Lipschitz
