  1. is that the route he climbed with deliduka?
  2. strayhorn? I thought that was on Jay.
  3. dryden gun club.
  4. coyote is the obvious tower in the middle towards the skyline as you begin the deathmarch upwards and yup by dan's dome. is your tower in this area?
  5. Hey bp or sH, are the great polish towers where the coyote tower and "the route" reside? Or are you referring to another place for stupid human tricks? The Cave route on Icicle Butt is a fun alternative to R&D's typical queuing...course, the route finding is a bit more tricky. Snow Tick Crag: MJ Dihedral instead of Orbit. RpM instead of Outerspace. Condor buttress....bring a rack and climb one of the gear routes (to the climbers left) instead of clipping the bolted highway, that is condormorphine addiction... BirdNest Overhang, Idiot's Delight or finishing the Fault route to Loggers ledge instead of Catapult or the bone. Blood Transfusion or clean Love instead of Mr clean or Smut. Winter Solstice instead of Midway.
  6. Hah! sounds like another fun-loving-angry day at the crags amongst good friends....sigh. Hey CBS, the FA (Robins) rated this route 5.9. source=>Bill's virtual vantage guide
  7. Have you ever heard of the nearby badass dreamy trad paradise right down the road? Its called BEACON ROCK I don't give a fuck about the ozone...course I need to get all my ropes first....-relay message from the crumblingmaster himself, the legend...Lord. I've heard of many fun 'new' routes there. neat location, shitty parking and steep trail down to the crags...not your average PDX crag.
  8. gys, the purple marked towers,I have been to...with my dad a few years ago.
  9. his drawings are excellent...
  10. How can a picture be more confusing (than a drawing) when looking for a route? Actually, Viktor got more complaints from various people that the drawings were confusing and pictures would be more helpful. Like anything, no matter what one does, someone is always unhappy with what is done.
  11. the bookstore next to starbucks in Ltown sells the book too.
  12. Mutant for sure!
  13. I guess I meant over the years...there has been lots of traffic, but whateva........
  14. It may be something about the approach vs. index 2min approach and raptor closure during the bulk of the rock climable season. However, midnight gets lots of traffic...just not reported here and likewise I guess the mank doen't get retro'd due to that approach thing.
  15. I recall the bolts on Yellow bird being so mank they are falling out... however, I do remember TimL clipping the bolt before the step around move from flakes to the hand-traverse. I think the bolts were put in because the flakes are expanding/delicate and a fall may result in serious rock damage/human damage (can't really remember as it has been a few years since I was on it).
  16. The wide part was initially protected with a piton (or old bolt)...but during the bolting and debolting of DDD the FA-party gear was for some reason removed. However a #5 camalot works well deep in the chimney and then the yellow tcu that matt_m and others mention above...stemming helps too. I remember my first time climbing it years ago, I contemplated the wide crack move for 20-30 minutes before gathering the gumption..the fall if you fail would suck!
  17. someone should do this route but take a saw to cut vlad the snag of death down...i think a couple 5" pieces would make the runout more "sane"
  18. q's yes yes yes yes and yes I am serious too. more importanly can it be spotty part-time.
  19. both. bob, I am not touching your stuff...come and get.
