thanks guys, i'll probably check again in the morning. don't see why it matters how hard i climb. if i was worried about getting sent to an area and not being able to do any of the climbs, i would say i only climb 5.8 or whatever. but here's my stats: i'm climbing off the couch here, but i've done V8 (sandstone), 5.12 crack (granite) and 13a sport (steep sandstone), multi-pitch 5.11. i'm not as strong at slab climbing or wide cracks. i've also enjoyed climbing on limestone and basalt. and my favorite cam is the yellow tcu, and my new favorite shoes are the sportiva barracudas. anything near hood river? will be there for a few days. what about up or down the coast from manzanita?

the warbonnet of my namesake is in the idaho sawtooths, and it actually looks like a spanish battle helmet. the only other one i know of is in the winds, haven't made it there yet, but the cirque looks awesome. gee i sure hope somebody gives me some beta, i'm packing tonite and leaving in the morning, and i don't know what to take. if i don't hear anything i'll probably just take my shoes and hope for the best. not looking to hook up with anyone. i'm not taking my rack. i would take a rope and some draws if there is something good around there though. probably won't get to climb very much anyways unless there is something real close to manzanita, but i know i could convince my fiancee to be my belay slave for at least a day or two. and if there are boulders somewhere i could just go by myself. like i said before, i will be on vacation with my fiancee's family. someone please have pity on me.

i will be on vacation in oregon with my fiancee and her family for a couple weeks, and would like to try and sneek in a bit of climbing if there is any nearby. we will be in hood river for a couple days, and then we will be in manzanita for a week or so. we will probably take day trips up and down the coast. bouldering on the beach would be perfect, i could just bring my shoes and chalkbag, but i might bring a rope if there is anything good nearby. thanks...Banndon
