Hello,
To those of you interested in seeing a slide show on a 1995 FA of Midgard Serpent on Mt. Thor (described as Baffin Island's most sustained and technically difficult route-bunch of A4 and A5 pitches on El Cap size rock) by one of its FA Brad Jerret, and maybe other stuff too, let me know what dates in the next 2 weeks or so that do NOT work for you.
This is going to be a week night thing after work, for those of you that do that sort of thing, Mon-Thurs.
Probably be at my house near PSU unless someone has better option. Think movie night at Jim's old place except with a solid door on the bathroom.
Feel free to google "baffin island brad jarrett" to see what ol boy was up to.

I'll have to confirm with climber about date of show but glad to see we found a projector.
Bill, you bring the bungee-I'll bring the release/waiver.

Probably this Lake Creek.
-
sure. may even set up a jug line or two. i want to try out the frog tech.
-
First things first. You got a projector?
-
Serious climber in town for limited time wants to show us his slides. Unlike the Steph Davis slideshow (she is so cool), I think he actually has slides. Anyone have a slide projector they would be willing to lend or bring to a slide presentation in PDX?

Hey, that's my gear.

Sounds like a Becky approach.

What about the fact there is already a Farside in WA that pre-dates DZ/FS? Seems a little crazy to have two crags named the same in the same state which would then need to be annotated Farside North or Farside South. And that sort of annotation is usually reserved for different cliffs at the same crag. Pretty confusing when you start talking about NW or WA state guides or lists.
When I used to boat more, I learned that you can never have too many Falls, Canyon or Eagle Creeks. I figure it's the same for cliffs. Without some sort of name you could mix up which crappy little cliff in the Gorge you planned to meet your bro at, but I doubt anyone will end up on the side of I-90 wondering where everyone is.

Wholy shit I thought he was in for sure. Suck.

Could have been there on the piton or maybe it's Ben's. Not mine.
P3 did not happen that day since we were a bit off route.

Trip: Wolf Rock - ??
Date: 9/11/2010
Trip Report:
Wolf Rock
Ben on P1 Barad Dur.
Ben attempting to combine P1 and P2.
Kyle's thinking, "Isn't that P2 two over my shoulder?"
I think our boy is off route.
Sweet piton Ben discovered.
And the Sisters.

This is Plaidman's second Prequel. Albeit, toned down considerably.
-
adm probably means it was admitted into evidence. not sure about the others, but mo could mean there were motions related to the exhibit. could probably call court and ask any clerk in the office.

If we bump it to 10b it will really help my scorecard.

The Cave Route. Very fun.

I think rapping is the way to go.
Speaking of rapping, go climb my brand new route called Gratitude (thanks Bill). It's two glorious pitches of 5.7-5.8 knob heaven to the top. It needs a second free ascent, I think.
Kyle did FA of P1 with me FA P2. BC on bolt duty. No rock was harmed in making this route, but BC's backpack took one for the team.
Here's looking down P2.

He is a Camas teacher after all.
But really, only true masters of the language have license to twist it.
-
Wholly f! I wouldn't want to rap off that thing again.
Start on track side, go through notch and up other side.

You weren't out at the Ozone last week, were you?
Anyhow, maybe this, and the Ozone thread, should be unloaded on the masses. Only the choosen few get to see these threads.

Them damn fixed anchors.

Nate has a point. There is way more history in the Valley than at Beacon. Those guys are replacing 1000s of bad/old bolts. No one is bitching about that. If JH thinks a bolt is bad, and is willing to replace it, the bolt should probably be replaced.
Jim may act like he's pissed, but I bet he comes around and will be happy the route will continue on for many more years.
As for moving a bolt, that would be changing the route. You don't like that bolt on P2, just don't clip it. Like BC says, it just messes up your rhythm to clip that thing. And since those moves must be way easy for you, why would you even care?
While we on the subject, whomever chopped JH's slings must be at least half retarded. Good luck climbing off the beaten path.
But really, who got got at the Ozone?

How do I remove myself from this topic?
