Oh, Bill, yer Kill'n me. MUST RESIST, NO MORE GEAR...

I think I've done at least 7-8 variations on the b-hole pitch, with & without jams. Sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes up the middle. It goes many ways but one of my all time favorites there for sure.

I've seen it there quite a bit lately. I start drooling and reaching for the buy button every time it pops up. Then, I smack myself and try to convince myself I DON'T NEED it. Looks like a great deal on a sweet bivy though. Must resist gear, no more gear. Gotta figure out what to do with the mounting closet full of deals from them already. Anyone need a nice ski helmet, size small? Open to trade for gear of equal value? Got some other nice stuff that don't fit anyone here. LaSportiva Women's trail running shoes, Marmot Dryclime Jacket (womens), Mens small windstopper vest & much more... Let's make a deal!

Still have not even gotten on FFS, holding out for the onsite. Could be a loooong wait.

Takes one to know one, big Pink. Actually, Ivan and I did pm each other, and he publicly set the matter straight. And you're right, the breaking of branches doesn't have much to do with monitoring falcons, but it's at least on the same thread as Beacon, which is why I posted it when I saw people saying they'd just climbed there. Just being polite about the space. Some get pissed when seperate conversations go on for too long, maybe esp. when it concerns where I worked, who I know, etc. etc. Cheers. Just for the record, I heard Pink has climbed ElCap.

Wow, small world... We met here on cc last year. Who'd a thunk it? I may be headed back that way soon, not sure yet though...

Yep. What years were you there? I spent the summers of 1993-2000 working in Denali. Perhaps we crossed paths up there? Was that you chasing me during the "Denali Dash" circa 1995ish (a 3 mile naked run that is held every first full moon of August)? I think that was the same year two naked guys on mt bikes crashed into each other and were both knocked out. Seems one of them broke his nose pretty bad. Then again, maybe that was 94? But I digress....

:kisss: OK, I apologize for snapping. (And for screwing up JH's thread too.) Good nights sleep and your post looks entirely different to me in the am. another :kisss: , even if it's probably wrong. Ah I feel all warm inside Take a Tums, I hear it's good for heartburn...

the chinaman is not the issue The Carpet Pisser route. 5.11 and/or A2???

Come back in mid to late July when the closure is lifted and we'd be happy to run you up the SE Corner route on Beacon. One of the northwest's classic lines (IMO). It's a great climb to the top and only a few 5.6-5.7 moves on the entire 5 pitch route. I think anybody that can get on that route would really enjoy it. Most of us would be happy to show you the ropes, so to speak... Sounds very good! Northwests' classic lines? True? Seriously, sounds very good. Thanks. Well, you have some great positions, with beautiful views of the river. Granted, I have barely scratched the surface of "lines" in the northwest, but I do know a good climb when I stumble onto one. Even though your only 5 minutes from the parking lot, Beacon can have a real "alpine" feel once you get a few pitches off the ground. The finally ridge pitch is 5.5stectacular (IMO)...

Uh-toh, here we go... surely this will turn into a bolt thread/environmental affair. Where's the Dawg when you need him? Don't forget BRSPFPA, as I always say...

Looks like fun... [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TE792g55GUw&feature=player_embedded#

spent the whole day climbing on bacon with your kids???? I thought Geoff was more like his boyfriend... sickie Not that there is anything wrong with that...

I've been down to the docks, twice in the past week, but only for about a half hour. Did not see any sign of them, maybe the moved out? get a clue dude... they will never open up beacon until the birds fly away. stop wasting your fucking time at beacon. why do you think larry, mike and i moved the fuck away? we all love beacon. north and west face sucks. the closing of beacon has destroyed opdyke and joseph is next. get the fuck out of portland. I'm just try'n to get me some ejamakation on dem birds. I may take your advice, although I'm not from Portland... Where else should I waste my time? Calirado?

Well said Joseph. Thanks for reminding me what I was already aware of. Very accurate, too. (IMO)

It's good to see a topic, like this thread, that we can all finally agree on.

This may be the smoking gun that it is all politics? WDOT has enough influence, climbers dont...

da plane, boss... da plane...! How ya gonna monitor without da plane?

Especially an AID climber, are they even considered human-beans?

BTW, it's BACON, baby, BACON!

'cuz we're afraid dipshits like you might be there? no one says its the end-all-be-all of the world, hoss - it IS a very cool place, and it IS very close to home/work/family - nothing better within a 2 hr drive come visit some summer - maybe you'll understand? who cares really... I strongly support ALL crags within 5 minutes of home.

You, stud.

But wont he need the rack when he goes free solo ice climbing?
