The corner is where its at! Seems like the whole rock is falling apart... ivan, bring some epoxy with you to the ledge and we'll go on a gluing spree

What.. did they actually slap you with a trespassing charge? That's horses%#t!! Sorry to hear about that.

You are talking abnout the horn visible in this pic, correct? Lowe left hand corner of the pic? This is the only one i am really aware of, rick... it was still there last week if this is what you meant.

Well said, rick... when were you out last? It was there last week I believe. I saw it when denali dave and I were out on the corner a week ago and also when we did a night mission... interesting that someone felt that they had to dislodge it. No local would have done it so it had to be someone passing through. Hum...

Did I miss something or are visors back en vogue? Nice tutorial, too

I'm surprized there weren't any grass skirts in the story Props to the guy who brought the beer

Pretty sweet! nice pics! nice tr! how necessary is the 4 inch cam? You oviously did the route w/o it but would it have made it much easier(less sketchy) if you had one? does the weight of the cam justify takin it along?

No shit...! It'll be a long time for me. I'll just keep climbing my giant turd

Ok, Joe, lets test ya here... how old is kevin?

Well after its named and climbed again maybe you could get that towel when you are headed up, huh joe?

You know it will...

shoulda used a street shout out

Did you have to call kevin to find out? I told him on the phone a while ago... The thing used to be visable from the trail where the uprising tops out - I walked right by it several times thinking that I should have grabbed it, but never did. When the winds were really blowin last week it musta blown down finally. Someone can do a rescue mission to retrieve it now. Or let the wind bring it down the rest of the way

... with the bagpipes and a caber on your rack!

So you know what IT is then? I think I know what it is and where it was before it ended up where it is now...

Bill, I'm disappointed... I was hoping for the line of emoticons picketing, saying, this thread is worthless without the pics!

What the hell is that thing? So i was at the boat ramp at beacon the other day and i looked up and noticed that some climbers were up above big ledge - no biggie. I noticed that they were moving fairly slowly and then I noticed that they weren't moving at all. This all happened in about a minute or so... I grabbed the camera and took a picture of the thing - you may need to zoom in a bit if you can... I think I know what it is but I want to hear from others....

Totally! But since beacon closes in february and a lot of the time between nmow and then is going to be hampered with rain and crappy weather I can see why people treat the place as if it were the only place in portland to climb!

Shitty, man... speedy recovery to ya!

neither would i... i'm sure it is!

What have you gone off and done to yourself, joe? it isn't as serious as you are making it sound here, is it?

Looks pretty cool... thanks for the porn!

The first time I led it i did that, but since JP had never been on it I wanted to be within earshot of him so I broke it up into three pitches. It's much better when done in two, though.

Trip: Beacon Rock - Mt Beacon: an alpine ascent! - SE Corner - with a few detours Date: 9/18/2009 Trip Report: I got to thinking (Ouch!) that I haven't read a TR on anyone doing an alpine-style climb of the SE Corner. Why not? Could it be that it's just too short, too ascessible, or just not cool enough for such a report, or is it that no one lese is doing shit like this out here? Probably a good combination of all the above. Nevertheless, I talked DenaliDave into shouldering a pack full of his life-support system for the night, climbing hte corner (in the dark) and making a nice, comfortable bivy perched high on the face. It was a beautiful night and not a cloud in the sky - yet! We did the route, proper, and after making it through the squeeze chimney to the base of the slab, I went left instead of going right. We wanted to drop our packs before going to claim a bit of cargo that DD had the foresight to stash up there earlier before we arrived. Lighter without our packs, we climbed a pitch up to a small stance and claimed our prize, which was welcomed fully once we made it to our bivy. DD going up off the ground Me, starting the second pitch DD leaving tree ledge The rat that has been chewing the knot on the safety line on the ledge... Not sure what DD is looking for, but I bet it's important... Looking under our tarp-laiden bivy DD needs a few more biners for that tether line Dave enjoying the view from our perch Oh noooooo...! it started to rain in the early mornign, but we were protectd by our planning ahead last night when we put up the tarp. Luckily only the foot of my bivy sack got wet. Not sure what time it was, but the rain was still coming down pretty good and we heard a call down from above. Then, a few minutes later, Ivan comes down a rope with mike close behind and they have their own plans for the day We all sat under the tarp and enjoyed a dry spot in the rain, while we waited for the rain to yield Ivan and mike - mike leading After Ivan and mike started their aid project for the day, DD and I made our descent via five, very damp but not-nearly-as-bad-as-they-could-have-been rappels. It was a great time, dispite the rain... recomend this to anyone who wants a good time! Gear Notes: very, very light! Approach Notes: Horrendous - don't bother coming out
