Trip: Riglos, Spain - Couple Easy's Date: 5/10/2010 Trip Report: Weeklong trip to Spain which with the shitty wet weather meant about 3 climbable days. Posted a TR of it on SP. Riglos TR

Tyler, you rappin off the south bunny ear with the north one on the rt?

mt. pugh

thanks Bill - I've spent many hours admiring those faces from the safety of the parking lot

very cool Tyler!

don't know, but based on shade of the choss, I'd guess something on the faces immediately downriver from monument, say little 3fj or london tower?? nice - shows a big sawth of rock but still not clear to me.

thanks for the info! cheers.

when does it normally get too hot/humid to climb there? thnx!

very nice. your other albums are pretty amazing too, esp. the Spain & Africa ones!

J., the offset TCU's that we bought are still sitting comfortably on the shelf...I'd go with offset mastercams. Having said that, I don't think mastercams measure up to aliens for pinscars. Not an offset but the small metal plate to which trig. wires connect is closer to the lobes on aliens - just more compact, so that the whole assembly fits nicely in a pin scar usually. Again too anal maybe but if you gonna spend a shitton of $$...

dunno if you're asking about 3 o'clock rock/revolver, but that one's got some rusty mank on it.

Very nice! busy day in darrington. same shit on revolver/3 oclock rock, last 2 pitches were running & we bailed. think the party on total soul toppped out though.

Tyler, I don't have a scanner but I also don't want to piss off the authors or mazamas by posting up their stuff. I can mail you a photocopy of it - shoot me a pm with your info.

Dean & Paul Fry climbed St. Petes in 1972 (18th party). Jeff Thomas & Don Baars have a couple paragraphs (story relayed to Jeff by Paul) on that climb in their article in Mazama Annual…long story short, Paul took a lead fall & nearly severed the lead rope. Dean refused to give up despite his brother's pleading and they continued to the summit on their ratty haul rope.

NICE! the right time to do it - not have to worry about tourists above dropping shit or dropping in.

I have (up to that 4th class spot anyway). Fun route for sure in a pretty setting.

great stuff!!

it's nice but there's gotta be others out there that could compete, no? White Satin? Dilley's Delight even.

La Cierta Edad & Overhanging Hangover in Red rocks, thought both were great. Second the Window Route on Echo Pinnacle in Moab - very unique pitch (#3 I think?). Culls in Space, Condor, Paper Tiger, Pack Animal direct & Toy Blocks at Smith seemed like very good routes.

Tim Olson published (recently) the Classic Climbs Of The Gorge book. Lotsa stuff on Wind Mtn. shown there.

Trip: Stone Mtn., NC - couple easy's Date: 1/1/2010 Trip Report: Went back east to see family for xmas & got a chance to climb a couple (literally 2 due to shitty weather) days at North Carolina's Stone Mtn. Never been before & it was one scary (for me) place to climb. Humbling stuff. Stone's Easy's Gear Notes: most lines it seems require fewer than 3 QD's. some will take a cam or two.

thanks Curt. even if you're there after nesting closures go in, the other side (west, eg. Sheepshead for example) offers more options (not to mention free camping). enjoy.

Trip: Cochise, AZ - Endgame & WML Date: 12/7/2009 Trip Report: Saw a post inquiring about AZ winter climbing somewhere in this forum. This is a tr from 2 days of climbing in Cochise about a month ago that I posted on summitpost. Cold but climbable - this whole area closes for nesting in the spring though (Feb or March??): East Cochise

Plenty of new gems to make up for the lost classics, eg "bring a rabbit's foot" for E. Wall of Smith Group. A beauty of a guidebook!!

that's awesome Tyler. register up top??
