Oh yeah, nice work guys! That'll give me and scott somethign to check out when we get on GZ later in the fall...

I'm sorry, fixed pro application? Is there really such a thing? Huh... does my cam need to be documented since it is now a permenant fixture on the 2nd pitch of the corner? Screw that! Just don't tell anyone you're doing it. Better yet, DON'T POST ABOUT IT HERE!!!

You should create your own museum - that is an impressive collection! Ken Burns should contact you if he ever decides to do a documentary/series on mountaineering in North America! Very cool to look at the changing times in technology that is preserved in the (do I dare call them this) artifacts that you have. Thanks for sharing!!!

Good on ya for throwing this out there before you actually did something to the hangers, but seriously, I woulda straightened them there - but I carry a wrench already. Still, your point about a draw getting moved around to where it could be backclipped seems plenty valid. Straighten em, I say!

Well, apparantly, anyone who uses the shoddy guide or defends ones trip or anothers trip over there is an ignorant westsider. Shapps jealous that the jesus freaks that made the crappy guide got to it before he could - that's what it sounds like to me I say, keep going over there and keep climbing it using the wrong names and everything! Sound as much like an ignorant westsider as you can so that shapp will be able to educate everyone doing it as though he is the resident expert! Climbing is climbing and - to me, maybe I'm wrong - it matters not how you get your beta or from what source, just as long as you get back to give beta to someone else. Good on ya , WageSlave! If ya ever wanna go back let me know - I'll ride along!

Spoken like a true young warrior...

She still looks like a 12-year-old... a very well developed 12-year-old.

I love this line!

Do doubt, huh?

perhaps... but you, sir, are an asshole

So i guess a link up of the nose and half-dome in a day is out of the question, now?

Only about 5 min from home for me, na nan a na na na. I sleep in my car at the parkign lot so both of you take that!

You better grab yourself a partner and just go out there before you embarrass yourself any further on this thread! That's all I have to say.. about that!

How amusing... a trip report on one website with a pic and a link to another website for the actual trip report. Nice TR on summitpost.

... then send the F-ing authors your rant and don't piss on the TR here because your pissed that they got it wrong - so what! at least it is getting climbed - this obscure shit probably has seen fewer ascents than some of pdx's local crags have. i understand your point is to educate others but do it off the thread and don't knock 'em just because they used a guidebook that had it wrong... it'll be another few years before anyone else goes to climb it in the summer again anyway...

I drove over there for it and i didn't do it because i had the guidebook, bill! I did it because it was granite, and granite in oregon, and climbable granite in oregon at that. where else in oregon do get granite that you can climb? tell me and i'll go there... the guide just helped the approach to the slabs. good job guys! I was over there in early july and had a blast on the dome, but there was too much snow to reach the slabs that you guys were on. great pics. did you guys go look at gunsight dome at all?

I'm curious - how would tape help french free technique?

Anything that involves pain, suffering, complaining, or general epic behavior always makes for a great read... so long as the subjects all live

I think I was the only one doing either - ivan was probably laughing in his head at my antics to get up what he practically waltzed up. And he says he can't free climb very well... well enough, I say! No doubt he will let everyone in on my epic lead of the chimney on town crier two days earlier once he writes his TR. But as always ivan has an amusing way of telling a tale of a trip... I look forward to seeing it, too

Nice TR... well put together and very complete. I also liked the route overlays and the panoramic shot of the range! Whatever the names are, whatever the grades are... nice job!

So taping is a regional thing, huh? What is the status quo for our region?

Oh yeah... ivan and i made a half-assed attempt at the north peak of mt index (TR yet to come when ivan has the time and I give him my pics), though it was only half-assed because he had me following him - talus hopping, bushwacking on low angle slabs while free-soloing them: probably just the upper end of 4th class, but when you're unroped even halfway steep stuff can seem like mid 5th class! I won't give away the TR though since I'm sure ivan's will be full of the usual spice and wine

I love it when threads go sideways... This shit is great!

can't be too far off

outstanding! Keep 'em honest!
