Corduroy Man

Awsome video! Ozone is my favorite place to climb. So many great routes and a sweet setting. Does any one know if you can still buy the guide book? I got to look at someones out there and it looks really good. Someone there was talking about some other crags right next door, I don't quite remember the name but I think one of them had zone in it as well? Anyone know the information on these spots. I'd love to check them out. Climb hard and rock on!

Hey why you gotta be so rude? He means no harm. I'm pretty sure Big Wall Rick is quite an accomplished ice climber, and wouldn't much appriciate your negative comments about him. Would you say that to his face? Go climb and rock on!

Are you a homophobe? Go out and climb! Rock on!

What do you mean? That guy is showing hard core dedication to the sport! No need to be so rude, I think hes a pretty rad climber. Being rude and climbing don't go so well together! Rock on!

Hey thanks for they replys guys! I will for sure be picking up that book before the next adventure. Anyone else climb the thing have any experinces to share? I'd be stoaked to hear! Cheers all and rock on!

Hey all new to the fourm here so this is my first shot at a Trip Report. I could not figure out how to make it a cool format like all of your guys? Mabey I'm missing someting. Anyways last August my partner Steve and loaded up his Subaru wagon with hopes of rippin it up on Rooster Rock in the Columbia River Gorge. We couldn't find much information about it other than what Steve had heard from someone talking over at the Circut bouldering gym. Wich was something like this "really easy with a very short hike" well this was misleading. We drove to Rooster Rock State Park, had to pay the fee bummer! Anyways we racked up, 2 packs, 2 ropes, 2 harness, 2 paris of shoes, 2 atcs, 1 set of Rock Empire cams, 1 set Wild Country Hex's, 1 set Black Diamond stoppers, 1 nut tool, 20 carabiners, 2 20' peices of cord, 10 slings and 5 quickdraws. We hoped this would be enough to make this so called easy summit. Turns out this was going to be harded than expected, we could see the rock easily but could we get to it? It seemed as if it was surrounded by water! We tryed and tryed but could not figure out how you could get over there. Steve suggested we swim over there, but I was worried about the water hurting our gear. We tossed around the idea of going back to Troutdale and buying a little raft. In the end though and air conditioned bouldering session won, as it was close to 90 that day. So we loaded back up and headed back to the Cricut to get pumped. Not much of a trip, but the big question is how do ya'll get over there, swim, kayak raft? Cheers and rock on! Edit: P.S. Sorry no pitcures as we forgot the camera not like there would have been many action shots anyways!

Has anyone climbed the Zuccini Route on Crown Point? I'm looking for some practice before my climb of Mescalito this spring. Any information would be great. Also if any one wants to partner up that would be great. Climb hard and rock on!

Hey all new to the fourm here. Climbing since 97' I've been aiding since 03' nothing serious though. Looking to get my skills together to climb El Cap this spring via Mescalito! Mostly only done C1 but I'm eager to get on the real deal! Just saw some killer videos of some wicked dudes aid climbing at the Rat Cave, that looks cool does any one know where this Rat Cave is in relation to Gresham? Also maybe I'd like to take a trip to Smith Rock State Park for an aid climb up the Pioneer Route. Any other suggestions? Thanks and rock on! Or if you want to partner up please message me back, I have most days fee as I am self employed.

Hey all just found the fourm here. Anyways while I was browsing oregonlive.com I found a killer tatoo some hardcore dude in Portland got. Then thanks to some ripper named Scott I found this awsome site. Check it out! Serious dedication to the sport! Rock on! Peace out! Hope everyone is having a rippin ice season!!
