I think Freddy's has the basic soy powder for about $3-4/lb. I mix it in with Body Fortress whey, about $16 for a 2lb can. I use milk and or/soy milk.

Okay, say a bolt holds a fall. And... seem to have lost my train of thought there.

Leaving PDX area Monday afternoon, 7/30. Looking to condition, so will attempt to tag Thielsen one day, head up to South Sister next, return Wed night/Thursday. Anyone? Good opportunity to get to know an alpine partner, endurance-wise on easy terrain.

Leaving from PDX Mon Jul 31. Stay at campground somewhere around Diamond Lake, climb Tue, then relax in camp with beer and grilled something (I'm rolling a micro-vacation into this). Drive back Wed. Ridealong/Partners?

Hood SS next Wed, drive up Tues. Got NWF pass. Partner up!

Looking to get up early, ski descend possible from below the summit. I have alternate Wednesdays free to climb, other days with enough lead. I can move Hood up couple days if necessary. An exp. alpine mentor is a plus. I'm in shape. Shit together. John C

Anybody up for a brew somers on Monday night (yes THE night to party)? Will be around downtown.

John, sorry about my lame PM earlier. I'm also sorry I never got to be a part of this, I am still ready to go every other Wednesday, and I promise I won't bag it after two times (unless there's something really unsavory about what you're doing). Maybe I'm not ready for the dark arts of your secret stash, just give me a learning curve. I will bring beer, coffee, cured meats, Pez, whatever, to anybody wants to take an area newbie around. Anybody wants to just get together for a drink and talk climbing just shout.

Check your pm's...

You have anything else going? I'll be off Wednesday... PM me. John C

New to PDX from Colorado, advised to look into this thread to hook up. Some tech class 5 exp., plenty 14k peakbagging all seasons, no glacier but some angled snow, have harness, shoes, leather boots, no ice tools. Can someone advise what I need to join in here. I have Sundays through Tuesdays and alternate Wednesdays off, so any kind of alpine or cragging trip these days I'm in if you'l have me. Want to bag some peaks eg Hood this winter or spring if anyone's planning. Cheers, John

I am new to PDX area, I have Sun - Tue and alt. Wed off, can handle 5.8 trad, have some gear. I'm ready to go all winter. Email me...
