I'll be in Westfir, OR for a while working on a few projects. I'd like to hit the nearby trad wall as often as possible. Best climbing I know of in Oregon!
Also, there is a GU FA project closer to town I'd like to do if the weather is cool enough.

Hi. Do you have any interest in hard technical climbing? If so, pm me as I know all the local crags.
I wouldn't mind doing three fingered jack too, but don't really need a partner for that.

Currently in Mazama looking for more w.pass partners. If I don't find any, I'll probably end up in Leavenworth.

I'd rather climb with Sketchy Dan than this "Jim" person people keep talking about. Whoever he is, his ratings are all off and can't lead for shit
-
I'm driving up to Washington Pass!
I have a partner for thurs-fri but would like to climb more! If you're keen, pleace contact me.

(plus mtbiking on rest days?)

So a friend of mine is free to (trad) climb a week from now, but only if I'm in the area. I'm free to climb now, so to make this work I need partners for THIS week
I'm keen for trad, short or long (very keen on multi-pitch). I should be solid at 10+ (old school ratings). Plenty of gear, experience, etc. Have climbed at Index and Leavenworth before, many years ago.
I'll need to know hopefully by tomorrow or I may end up going to a place that's easier to score partners. Sorry for the short notice but I forgot about this forum.
-
I'm free to climb for a week or so at index/leavenworth/w.pass, What's your schedule like? What are you willing to follow?
I'll be bringing my mtbike, but I don't know anything about the trails there.
-
I'm game for 3rd pillar and positive vibrations. There are some climbs near Russel I'd also be interested in. Tioga opened on the 11th so I don't think there was much snow this year.
Hopefully I can score some partners for right now so I'll be in shape. What's your schedule? I'm completely free right now; pondering where to go to find keeners (currently in Park City UT, might drive to the Valley or maybe Leavenworth).

Leaving Moab today; heading west. Could climb sierras, sawtooths, enchantments, wherever. High country season is coming soon and I want to get trim!
-
hey wayne. I'm currently in Moab, but free to climb anywhere, any time. I was holding out for some towers here or maybe black canyon, but not many takers so I'll likely be escaping the coming heat and heading for cooler pastures.

I know this is short notice but I never know what the weather's gonna do in this state...
Anywho, I'm keen on Sunday-Monday, possibly Saturday too if I get a reply quick enough. I like trad but will be keen to chase sun anywhere.
If you're keen please reply or PM

I'm free for a few weeks (or months? stupid economy)
I'm pretty much willing to go anywhere there's trad and good weather.
PM me, call me, just don't ignore me if you want to climb!
Sierras, Tuolumne, City, hey wherever!

Plenty of climbing within 70mi of Eugene. I could intro some, but don't expect many sub-10 climbs.
Also, weather sucks right now
-
Hi. I'm currently in Eugene, OR but I'm willing to travel to where the weather is good and the trad is plentiful.
-
I may be free to climb at Smith this weekend. It depends on my friend, who I'm visiting in Klamath Falls. We love trad, but there's better trad elsewhere. I did like the lower gorge, however, and need redemption on an 11a there.
-
Erm, no?
Can't drive anything that's blown.
-
I haven't done alpine, but I'm game if you have some extra gear. I've mostly done sport and some trad.
I don't know how close to anything I am as I'm in Vancouver. My head gasket blew so I may need a ride for the final leg. I don't think C-tran goes to many places south of the river. I don't know the area well enough to know.
AIM me at sanarkhos or mail me.

I'm dying to get back on the rock!
I'd like to get to know the local crags for weekend climbing. This summer I'll probably go to Smith every other weekend.
I don't care if the rain is spitting, I'm used to climbing in sub-par weather. This winter, I've climbed with snow-melt splashing on my face. I just want to get out there before I turn into a complete sack of crap.
My head gasket blew so I guess my mantra for the time being is: "Have shoes, will travel!"
Trango Cinch new pin replacement
in The Gear Critic
Posted
Ha, I thought I was the only one who did this.
I used molding pins and they work great.
I actually confronted the Trango rep at the Rendezvous before doing this and he was like "We're always looking for harder metals blah blah" which obviously is complete bullshit because I found WAY harder metal just scrounging in my friends dilapidated metal shop.
As things are going, my pin will out-last the stainless on my Cinch and I'll probably press it out and put it in a new one before it even starts to wear.
