Very cool corvallisclimb. How many of those heads are left on the A4 variation? I could only see one from the ground. We were originally going to do N.A. Direct, but it was occupied

Peter_Puget - You might be right. I don't recall having to make any really hard moves on that pitch. I must have used one of those old bolts. Boadman - I don't think we held anyone up. If so, my apologies.

Heh...well after looking at my last TR I guess I did lead p1 of Narrow Arrow Overhang last time. Don't what the hell I did, but I guess it worked. Hmmm, I thought I was supposed to get better with more experience lol. http://www.cascadesclimber.com/coppermine/displayimage.php?pid=1522&fullsize=1

It sure was nice to climb at Index without the rain. I had been wanting to climb 10% Meterological Vinculation for a while now and finally got around to it. I was going to do the route from the true start, but it really looked nasty and not fun. Seemed like a much better idea to start up Japanese Gardens and then move over to 10%. It was great fun, a lot of little pro and a few hook moves. Probably one of the harder aid routes that I've done. Also got a chance to climb Iron Horse which was another one on my list. It was a much more relaxing route than 10%. The only spicy part was about half way up. Had to do an interesting move with a cam hook in an undercling, which worked really well, then onto some dicey gear. Great route. Maybe next time I'll see if I can get myself to go up the tiny seam on the left above the first anchor. I also tried Narrow Arrow Overhang, which I climbed a couple of years ago. Last time I climbed p2, this time I tried p1. Well, I made it about half way and got to the 2nd bolt and just hit a brick wall. The only place I could see to get any gear in was a slimy, expanding crack. I had to top step just to try to get an offset Alien in there and it just wasn't going to happen. No idea how my partner made it past this last time. Climbing was great. Weather turned out beautiful, even if it did start out a little chilly and windy. Good times.

Selling a pair of Petzl ascenders. Used, but work fine. $100 OBO

Yep, I still got it.

Still available.

Sorry, no fly included. I'll give you a call. Jeff

Dropping price to $450 OBO.

Didn't get to use this on the trip I got it for and don't see using it anytime soon, so it's gotta go. It's a practically brand new BD Cliff Cabana (double). I bought it new in the box and it has never been used on a climb. I set it up at Marymoor for practice, and it has been hauled up a couple of pitches (not flagged). Besides a little scuffing, the thing is like new. I'm asking $500 OBO and I can meet anywhere between Marysville and Redmond if you want to check it out. No fly included.

By the way, if anyone happens to step on a #6 BD micronut at the bottom of City Park, I would appreciate getting it back TIA, Jeff

Actually, it wasn't too bad compared to last year. Most of the rain came when we were on the way down. Jeff

First, the pics (Sorry, I can't seem to get them in the right order): http://www.cascadesclimber.com/coppermine/thumbnails.php?album=55 Weekend before last, Chris and I headed up to Index to brush the cobwebs off our aid gear. It rained like hell last year, and I was expecting the same this year, but fortunately it wasn't too bad. It only began to really come down when we were rapping down. Some blue skies even appeared at times. City Park is such a nice route to warm up on. Last year, I didn't lead the first pitch, so I thought I would this year and it definitely lived up to it's reputation. I was thinking about using Leeper cams on the way up, but it was so easy dropping nuts in that I just kept moving. Before I knew it I was at the belay getting settled in. Chris led the second pitch, which I think is a little harder. It's pretty thin at the start and the route changes quite a bit further up, throwing in some free moves here and there. It gets pretty wet in places, and I know Chris had loads of fun on this one at times! After I joined Chris at the second belay, we had to decide if we were going to head up City Park p3 or climb Sloe Children. City Park was off to the right and from what we could tell, didn't look so hot. Sloe Children looked like a very nice line up from the belay and from what I hear is much more popular. After getting a ways up S.C. I realized we had made a good choice, as I thought City Park looked kind of crappy. So right off the belay, Sloe Children is thiiiiiiinn! The only thing that would fit in that crack at the bottom would be a knifeblade or something. I decided to aid off the bolt and forgo the public flogging I would have received for hammering on the LTW Even while aiding off the bolt I had to place a pretty small piece of gear since the crack hadn't opened up a whole lot. The route continues straight up staying pretty thin most of the way. I really wished I had more tiny cams for p3 since it doesn't take nuts nearly as easily as p1. I backcleaned a few times and got creative with the nuts and it worked out. I did have one nut blow out though and I got to take a nice 15 foot trip, which somehow ripped my shoe off. I got lucky and it happened to land in my lap.... So things are going along pretty well again until I realize that the crack peters out about 5 feet below the belay and you have to make a tough mantle move onto a small ledge. Probably not that bad on a free route, but going from aid to free made it pretty hard. It was really discouraging because I figured I was definitely going to have to head down. But since I had a few solid pieces in below, I thought I'd give it a try. I loosened up my daisy all the way and moved up....I teetered for a few seconds and finally was able to grab the chains. I figure I'd probably fall 5 times out of 10 trying to make that move. Chris cleaned p3 and joined me at the belay. We may have considered climbing p4, but it didn't look particularily appetizing. I think there are some newer free routes up there that are 5.way too hard for me. Besides, it was starting to rain. We rapped down and headed out to grab some dinner at Zeke's. It was a great route, which I would highly recommend. P2 may not be the best, but getting to climb Sloe Children makes it worthwhile. Jeff

PM sent for ascenders, traxion.
