come out to the group cg at RR and chill with the group in the white E-350 while your there if you want company. It'll be a bunch of oregon folks.

The bottom sole of my climbing shoes is delaminating from the uppers along theedge of my shoe. are there any suggestions as to a glue that will keep this from enlarging that will still allow a resole alter in time?

now i know what i am going to do when snowed in. Make a story line!

Yep, I'd fuck it.

bouldering: sisters Climbing: crash & burn at Wolf rock Humor: chicken, fire, beer. what else do we really need??? Ice: rime on Hood Scenic: view from Hood As a side note; great pictures all!

I was at Colchuck Lk. last week and was trying to do some field repair on my Dragonfly stove. Popped the whole thing apart, fiddled with it, and when I put it back together the top cup was missing (the small cup shaped device that deflects the flame from hitting the pot bottom directly). Does anyone know where I can find one of these for sale?

can we just continue to post the new pics here?

I turned around at the hogsback but it sounds like the Bergschrund filled in with those avalanches off the pearly gates. Saw headlamps halfway up the Pearly Gates at 4:00am so people were able to get that far.

Climb: Mt. Hood-South Side Date of Climb: 11/17/2005 Trip Report: As the other TRs indicate, the south side needs a little more snow. Make that a lot more snow. The climb was wonderful with good climbing up to crater rock but our group wasn't comfortable going above that. Still, the full moon and still air made the climb more than worth it. check out photo 136 and zoom in on the Pearly Gates; is that an avalanche from the day before? There is a photo of a pit we dug near crater rock. There is one 2 inch ice layer in between two 6 inch dry crumbly layers of snow. http://oregonstate.edu/~rothi/Mount%20Hood/P1010029.JPG http://oregonstate.edu/~rothi/Mount%20Hood/P1010038.JPG http://oregonstate.edu/~rothi/Mount%20Hood/P1010040.JPG http://oregonstate.edu/~rothi/Mount%20Hood/P1010064.JPG http://oregonstate.edu/~rothi/Mount%20Hood/P1010073.JPG http://oregonstate.edu/~rothi/Mount%20Hood/P1010092.JPG http://oregonstate.edu/~rothi/Mount%20Hood/P1010111.JPG http://oregonstate.edu/~rothi/Mount%20Hood/P1010129.JPG http://oregonstate.edu/~rothi/Mount%20Hood/P1010135.JPG http://oregonstate.edu/~rothi/Mount%20Hood/P1010136.JPG Gear Notes: never even got to put on a harness. Approach Notes: nice firm crust to walk on the whole way up. hardly post holed at all.

What a great guy. Go figure he'd be holding out on us for a few of his hidden climbs. You'll be climbing some FA somewhere someday and find an old Becky piton on your "unclimbed" route. He was always there first

I have a question on altering established routes. So say the first ascentionist has died and I want to add another bolt/piton/fixed gear. How do I go about getting permission to retrobolt/nail if I can't get the FA's permission? I am not considering doing this at all, it's just a hypothetical question that noone I know has been abe to agree on an answer. What do you think?

I gotta say, I am going to stop watching the news and jsut start checking cc.com more frequetly. The quality and professionalism of the news reporting here is of such a higher quality than abc, cnn, nbc... Maybe given the time and support, the spray section could really evolve into a reputable global news source . (it really is global as far as climbing news is related)

I read recently that they are trying to put a bunch of wind mills out in cape cod and there is a whole group of residents fighting this because their horizon will be ruined. Howsabout we look ahead 30 years when oil is going to be 10$ a quart ...that energy source is looking pretty good now huh? It just angers the hell out of me that people can be so selfish. As long as it wasn't in a wilderness, I wouldn't mind having windmills spinning over my favorite crag.

Fall will not be here for another month at least! FIGHT IT OFF! Never give in! Summer forever! The southern hemisphere is where you should go for ice and a lack of tourists. Skyclimb and Thad figured that out (incedentally they both returned to the states the other day unharmed)

As a route setter, the imprint walls are a pain in the ass. I would much rather be able to bolt on a couple of big angle additions, roofs... to a plywood wall and put hold on that, than have to deal with the weird shapes and contures of imprint. Granted, the big wigs at OSU wanted something pretty to impress the nice people who give OSU grants, but it is really frustrating to try and set on imprint.

Foster Resivoir near Sweet Home OR has some cliffs. (also a popular 30-35 ft jump spot) drive east on hwy 20 and turn left at green peter dam sign, drive over 2 or 3 bridges and the last one has some pull outs at the north west shore. the cliffs are visible from the bridge. the trail shouldnt be more than 200 yards long.

Mooner, when are you going up there? Col and I might come with you.

A friend of mine found this problem(?) out after he got some camalots mailed to him. It wasn't just a gap on the axle, the lobes were so out of whack one side wouldn't expand unless pulled outward with force. I would consider this a major design problem if the play on the axle caused the lobes to stick. I believe they were catching on the spring.

Wolf Rock is in the Rock Climbing Southwest Oregon guide and can be found by taking Hwy 20 to near Tombstone Pass and then Forest Road 15 for about 20 miles until you see the giant face ahead.

The moths have been there for several years (at least 5). dont remember what type they are but not good ones.

Thad is in Peru with skyclimb I believe. unless it is another thad...

oh, forgot to post photos of the place. Here ya go: http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=12681&sort=1&cat=all&page=1

Either way, its an incredible face that just begs to be climbed. Sweetness.

Does anyone know of a place to get beta on the newer routes on wolf rock? (Not in "Climbs of SW Oregon") I climbed there this weekend and was amazed at this glorious gem hidden away. If you havent heard about this place before, I highly suggest checking it out. Safe bolting on 5.10-5.11 routes under the arch created some incredible lines.

Thanks Iain, and you have my most sincere condolences.
