Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Does this mean my bunny suit won't be here in time for Beatard opening? Bummnner.

And plenty of beer...

Wow, great write up! God speed on his recovery.

I went to see Tom Petty in LA earlier this month for my birthday. Super small venue (1200 peeps), we were right up front and the electricity of such a small venue was incredible, so was the sound. They mostly played a lot of old school, more obscure songs, with a dose of the usual classics. Looking forward to the new album due out later this year. This one's for you Bone... [video:youtube]

I know I'm getting old when I realize AC/DC suck. The same three cords and screaming.

Not officially Beacon Rock, but the stars aligned as the full Solstice moon took over the gorge here at the NoBo Trifecta. Big Dipper over Mt Hamilton, Soltice, 2013... Certainly an astrological sign that I'm right where I'm supposed to be, I recon.

Don't forget Blowout, Bluebird, Wind Surfer, Steppenwolf & Jill's Thrill to name just a few. IF Beacon is open by then.

I've also got the FR60 and I really like it other than I've had some bugs with the software.

That's what yer wife told me a few years back on das corner... You musta taught her, eh?

When in Rome, I recon...

Treat it like any other wait in line... Be respectful, don't cut without permission.

Don't forget about the "best climbing in Oregon" at Beacon Rock, which may be open by mid July. Half hour drive from HR. I've yet to go, but have heard good reports of Klinger.

I remember that day. Ahhh, the good ole Beatard times... Will soon be upon again. Who's coming to the Beacon season opener BBQ at my place, BTW? Specifics TBTD upon opening.

I remember that day. Ahhh, the good ole Beatard times...

I like Geoff's story at some wall, I think it was Frog Land in RR... Some euro's cut the line of several parties at the base and the leader says, "Wow, this is nice rock", as he is grabbing it and just continues on up...

Yep. Tons of rugrats at the NoBo Trifecta... My strawberries are going bananas, my raspberries are going nuts and my blueberries are blowing up like that chick in Willy Wonka.

Life does not get any better than a weekend at home with my girls!

Several other methods for "passing"... I like the blame the neighbor, name it and claim it or pull my finger approach.

PM sent...

I've got a buddy/climbing partner who is a glaciologist up there. Let me see if I can put you in touch with him ...

Trust your gut, bring the pounder next time!!! Excellent shots, BTW.

The one pound wonder... "wonder why I left it at home". It's only a pound! Nice TR.

Not quite as bad as when Geoff and I are a pitch beyond a couple on Young Warriors and find a hot coiler right on route, topped not with a sock, but a belay-slayer rock the size of a shoe box. It would have been easy to at least veer off-route a few feet but I guess that was too much for the lovely lady that left it for us. It was a pretty uncomfortable belay when we caught up with them, me bitching about it the whole way up.

I also like how they politely ask if they can look around for any guns and proceed to look in the ashtrays. Um, yeah, that's where the AK is...
