I've got a blog at www.funholesunite.blogspot.com It covers a lot of other life events too, but the archives have some pretty good adventures. I haven't been getting out nearly as much as I was as a student. Time and no money or money and no time...

Ever read Tom Clancy? He wrote about an airliner terrorist attack, then Iran invading Iraq to form a larger Islamic Nation, then we go in there and tear shit up. (we went in early in reality and bungled it hardcore, in reality) He also wrote about China invading Russia, but that is a whole nother thread...

Trip: Another Smith TR... - Several Date: 5/31/2008 Trip Report: I had to drive to Burns for a week of work, so I figgered I'd cram a full weekend of climbing into a day. Myself and a friend, Keelia, hiked out to the Marsupials with a goal to climb 15 pitches or more of 5.8ish in a day, preferably on a few unconventional smith routes. We started up The Marsupial Traverse, climbed that while watching a number of thunderstorms roll through to the north and south of us, climbed Mini Halfdome, Thin Air (P1), Round River, Then headed up to the Wombat for a big summit adventure. The whole time we were wondering if climbing the tallest formation at Smith Rock was the best idea with so much thunder and lightning about. We went for it anyway and hid out in a cave for 2 hrs to wait out one large cell but we got our window and finished the 5 pitch Birds Of A Feather 5.8 up the wombat. (great route! with zero traffic). The total for the day was 16 pitches, so we beat our goal, but I now have a new goal of 25 pitches in that area because with our late start and the weather, four more hours of climbing is available to hit up so much else... No pictures, but I can tell you that Birds of a Feather has some really great climbing on it, with a stellar 45m hand and finger crack on it. Gear Notes: single rack to #3 camalot, 10 alpine draws helmets, flask. Bring a snakebite kit too because the ledges are crawling. Approach Notes: get up earlier, hike faser, less pitching it out and more simulclimbing.

Cheers! So who are the geeks, nerds and jocks of rock climbing? Methinks Huber bros come up as the jocks, and everyone on this board is in competition for climber nerd/geek status.

Woke up one morning, went downstairs to my roomie cooking brekki(very uncommon as she don't know how to cook if the microwave isnt involved). She says proudly, "I'm making an omlette!" Laid out on the counter is a good assortment of fillings, but then I noticed there was a tortilla in the pan with cheese on it. I asked her where the eggs were, and got a blank stare for a few seconds, then it clicked. "I KNEW I was missing something!" OMFG!!!!!! HOW?!?!?!

Oregon Mountain Club Article Climbing mountains for more than 60 years Climbers' resource Oregon Mountain Club still meets at Oregon State University after being founded by Everest Climber Willi Unsoeld Evan Miller Issue date: 5/1/08 Section: News * Print * Email * Article Tools * Page 1 of 1 OSU mountain club member Denise Knaebel, left, and club president Kalin Lee proudly display the club's flag on the summit of Mt. Hood. OSU mountain club member Denise Knaebel, left, and club president Kalin Lee proudly display the club's flag on the summit of Mt. Hood. Although the daily life of a college student may be seen as stressful for some, others need additional challenges in their lives in order to be satisfied. Like climbing mountains. The Oregon Mountain Club is an excellent resource for meeting people who share a love of outdoor adventure. The club meets at OSU every Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in Peavy 108. All OSU students and community members are welcome to come. "We're just a bunch of folks who love to climb," said club member Evan Miles, a senior in mechanical engineering and international studies. "The more experienced climbers pass down their knowledge, and a lot of people come here to get more members for adventures they are planning." The group meets to plan upcoming excursions, exchange stories, teach survival skills and usually a member will share a slideshow of a recent trip. This week, member Michael Thuynes, an OSU graduate in zoology, showed pictures of his rock climbing trip to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam this winter. "We're definitely looking for new members," said Kalin Lee, president of the club and junior in electrical engineering and computer science. "We have beginner trips to Smith Rock and Mt. Hood coming up in a month and a rafting trip planned for next fall." Lee is also a member of the local mountain rescue team and the OSU Triathlon Club. Also in the works are trips to Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Shasta and a Smith Rock clean up day. The group is not just limited to mountain climbers. Most members enjoy skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing, mountain biking and virtually any form of outdoor adventure as well. The Oregon Mountain Club has a long history. It was founded in 1947 by former OSU student and professor Willi Unsoeld, who would later be a member of the first successful American expedition to the top of Mt. Everest in 1963. "Back then the group had a meeting once a year on top of Mt. Hood," said member and OSU graduate in forestry Ian Roth. There is also a tradition of taking a club banner to the top of mountains, starting with Unsoeld on Everest. Because it is no longer officially affiliated with the university, the club receives little publicity on campus. "The best way to get in contact with us is to go to our website oregonmountainclub.com and subscribe to the listserve," said Lee. "We will e-mail our schedule of upcoming trips to everyone, and members can e-mail the entire group to find partners for their own trips." Evan Miller, staff writer

Shapp, Nate is still around. I've seen him every now and again(or at least heard of sightings). He is on here occasionally too.
