I am going to sasquatch fest in a few weeks and was wondering about the legality of camping in that area. I have seen folks camping just across the road from the feathers and was wondering about there or any other reccomended camp spots.

Kev, did you find the 10a on tigerstripe to be about a 33 meter route? When I climbed it on a friends rope he ran out of rope lowering me at about the second to last bolt. Just wondering if his rope was short or if the climb was long.

Ohhhhhh Yeaaaaaa

I am just going to fuel the debate and give them a thumbs up. Granted, they really F-ed things up, but their product is great(when it holds together). I am totally willing to climb on the ones I have still.

Local climber and author Ron Horton will host a free slideshow and booksigning for his new book, Weekend Rock: Oregon (Mountaineers Books) on thursday, April 5th at Peak Sports in Corvallis, Oregon. The book signing will begin at 5pm, with the slideshow to follow. For more information, please contact Peak Sports at 541-754-6444, or visit their website at: www.peaksportscorvallis.com

I dont really want to start a new thread, so I'll ask here. Whats going on with Oly? I saw the thread on the climbing forum.

Yea, I knew thats what you are supposed to usually do but something you said before I began led me to believe you were goin gto just aid the bolts and then free the rest. Whatever. I got it now.

wow, I never realized how old some of you are. Bunch of oldies on CC. Howsabout we make a geriatrics spray forum.

Cragging: Moab. Humor: Lava Butte. Scenic: Red Rocks. Snowboarding: Maiden Peak. Bouldering: Hawaii lava tubes. Alpine: S. Sister.

thanks for the seriously indepth info folks!

Oh, and cheers to the huge "woohooo!" shoutfest that evening on the front side. It was hilarious. The hikers in front of us were freaking out at all the yelling in the canyon.

Whaddaya know, I met the famous Oly and didnt even know it. I was Corvallisclimb's partner.

I say we start a sting operation, then shove a #3 BD up they asses and pull.

looks a little slick. I betcha it would only be V5 if they took a powerwasher out there.

does anyone know if the rock at Columns in Eugene is Columbia River Basalt?

it all about the "no fall" climbing ethic. Just don't fall and we won't have any problems!

In moab there is Cane Cr., Wallstreet, Indian creek, Icecream parlor. if you want 5.7-5.10 trad/sport mix there is ice cream parlor. Wall street also has some good 5.10+ trad cragging. Cane Creek has some adventurous longer routes.

Crimson Chrysalis is a must do. 5.8 classic 10p. Often has a line though. If you do Solar Slab, make sure to do the Johnny Vegas start. It is much more aesthetic than the mossy original line.

With the warm temps I wouldnt want to be anywhere near the pearly gates or west crater. It was probably raining ice chunks.

Woot! for the SAR guys!

Yea, I guess I got the date wrong too. We were there friday night/sat morn.

Trip: Mt. Hood - West Crater Date: 1/28/2007 Trip Report: Not much in this, but we tried to go up West Crater and only made it to the top of the parking lot because of the 35+ mph gusts. Watched a bunch of headlamps descending from hogsback at 3:30 am. Bummer dude!

I will be up there with a seperate group but say hi if you see a guy in green/black!

Oregon has some fun, albeit obscure cragging around the Willamette Valley. After my 3000th trip to smith, it was nice to go some place that was close and empty. The guidebook descriptions are often way more interesting/vague too, making just getting to the climb that much more exciting. Menagerie Wilderness, Wolf Rock, Columns, The Garden, Broughtons, The list goes on...

for easy long routes you can have the middle person on the line with a prussic they slide with them.
