OMgosh! Saw the same incredible rainbow driving back from the gorge, Oregon side. I was going to ask if you had seen it. Amazing... sickie

where you make that funky monkey move? kinda over-hang? while i was speed belaying you.... Joseph and Ken mentioned to be aware of a certain chunk. wonder if it was the same one that broke. forgive me for being slow. maybe if you let me LEAD i would remember these routes better

bare with me here. how far along pitch 2? 1/4, 1/2?

I'm blind!

... I should take him under my wing and show him the ropes!

I heard he only pebble wrestles does that mean boulder? if so, you're right.

Albina Press. Hands down the best!!! Check them out in North Portland off Alberta/Albina. Oh, and world famous Billy the Barista is a climber. *so hot*

where is the money pitch crux exactly? Great seeing you all out there. Opedyke brought sunshine, hope it stayed with you.

I think he wants to sell t-shirts and the image itself...

yeah Kev, hot pics. keep sending ova...

Kevbone: Thanks for starting a thread on this particular climb...been wanting to check it out. Sounds like an ultimate top-out

Thanks for sharing pics. *so hot!*

Cheers to that!

Park at rooster rock and hike or bike it. Suck but it is better than not being allowed to climb. Agreed.

Good to see everyone getting out and getting some Just a heads up for the Cape Horn area... a lot of those climbs are accessed via private property. PLEASE be conscious and aware of where you park your car as well as crossing private property. You do have cross some PP to access some of those so please be as secret as possible EVEN if it means parking farther away and/or walking through the woods longer to stay out of sight. Good example: the gate to the road to park near crown jewel is locked this year is because people were parking in plain sight last year. Keep a low profile and enjoy the ice in your backyard! Thanks for the beta and friendly reminder. Yes, the gates were locked at crown jewel as we scouted there this morning. Also, new fence additions that apparently did not exist last year. Does this mean park at the next exit and bring your tandem bike?? -or- maybe Kevbone can thumb it to cause a diversion

Cute! Saw you as we were leaving the other day. Wondered who was going to belay who???

Yes, we we're the man and woman team. I kept trying to make eye contact to see if you wanted a ride. Don't be so shy next time! We weren't sure what you were up to... but noticed you had nice gear!! Went out today. Total sh*t conditions, IMHO. Now I'm depressed. Oh yeah, The weather tunred quickly causing v-thread issues and gear to freeze within about five minutes.

Ah, this is the place. Kevin Matlock: I think we crossed paths yesterday. We had a little bit of an epic trying to wrap off.

is this area (Mist) also known as the 'Apron'?

Yikes!

where are you going with this?

the price we pay for knowledge...

emboldened text by DeC Bravo! What a great headspace to occupy. I must admit, there are some echoes of the effects that climbing first had on me. Now, I'm more conscious to consider “every day is like a present” simply because I'm aware something will take my life... sooner or later. It could be today. That quote stuck with me too. Going through a break-up that felt unbearable... til I discovered Ice Climbing

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
