  1. I'm there 3+ nights a week. I'm over 30 and climb mostly alpine and trad till I moved to Portland 2 years ago. Andy (the owner) was one of the first people I met around here. His big goal,along with the rest of the crew, is to build community and make a chill place to go hangout.

    If you go in there looking for a scene you'll find one. It's not encouraged. It's very popular with College kids and early on the weekend they do alot of Birthday parties.

    I'd recommend giving it a try, meet some of the locals.

    My names Jeff get in touch if you're going to come by. I'll climb with you. bigdrink.gif

  2. Hey check out the Trip report index. JosephH has a pitch by pitch report that was helpful when I went to do it. Just use Beacon as your location. I've only been in Portland for 2 Years and have really found both sides of the coin when it comes to people sharing info. Enjoy the climb. cantfocus.gif

  3. I use Tuan's on Killingsworth and 14th and they've gone above and beyond for me many times. They also stand behind there work and will make it rite. Also the auto dept at Clark college over in Vancouver is a Toyota cert program and they are CHEAP!!!!!!! the only down side is they do take longer to get the work done

  4. In regards to hauling soil up to the big tree ledge. Your asking for a big muddy mess. I was up there for the first time last week and looked the situation over. Hauling soil may seem like a good idea but it will do the tree no good whatsoever. It will only result in a lot of work for nothing. There's nothing to retain the soil on the ledge. Big trees on a cliff don't live forever because of location and no matter how much we wish it would be there forever, It won't. Some day that tree is going to come down. The day I was on the ledge was fairly calm and I could see the tree roots seperating in the light breeze.Hopefully no one will be clipped into it when it does come down on it's own. I'm no Arborist but I am a Hort. Professional and have a good understanding of trees. Get a arborist/Sawyer up there to give you a pro. opinion.

    I really enjoyed Beacon and plan on exploring more around there. Just wanted to give you a heads up to avoid any problems.

  5. It's a beautiful sunny day. Definitely a high friction day. Let's go climb. I don't have any destination in mind I just need a exp. partner. Trad, sport or boulders. I don't care. I have a car, gear and gas. I'm recovering from a shoulder injury and a new office job. Moderates are cool.

     

    Let's go
