Teh Phuzzy

or ClimbMax looks like they might have some in store on NE Broadway. They are anchor bolts, just a different style and I figure they might work. http://www.climbaxe.com/truboltwedgeexpansionanchors.aspx

Paging Bill Coe; please pick up the white courtesy phone.

For sure! I can't believe that was five years ago. Thanks for the help!

There was a great TR from a few years ago all about the Joy of Hyggelig. There was a nice video of a peaceful campfire in the backcountry and I am in need of some of the joy I remember that bringing me. Trouble is that I can't seem to find it via google searching the hell out of the CC TR's. So here I am looking for help composing my holiday wish-list. Can anyone please help me out in locating this TR? "Sex Worker" "Sex Worker" "Sex Worker" ~Adam

That chunk of rock caught my eye a few years ago. I did a little research back then and found that the approach was on private logging land (can't remember if it was Stimson of Weyer) so I left it be. There are a number of TR's on OregonHikers.org from folks hiking up that way in recent years and at cursory glance there is nothing about "No Trespassing" signs. shapp, I would be curious to check it out if you get the go. I have been told the view is quite nice.

I just got off the phone with one of the rangers and she said the recent rock fall has caused the most extensive damage to the hiker's trail she has seen in her ten years at the park. Right now the entire rock is closed to all activity. I will call back tomorrow to chat with the park manager about allowing climbing on the south side with rappel descents only. Bummer with the dry weather forecast for this weekend. I would be happy to help with trundling if the BRCA is allowed to do that.

Interesting. That is about all it says on the website too. http://parks.state.wa.us/AlertCenter.aspx?AID=940 Give 'em a call eh? (509) 427-8265

Grad school has me on a pretty full schedule, but the next two weekends can be open to go slogging through a rocky earth-birthing canal.

Do you think all the recent rain has created a plunge for the end? You were talking about how much "fun" that could be when were chatting out at Beacon.

I think they are Polish. Also, 1:41 - if you are ever tempted to finger hook a hanger.

See ya'all B-tards out there on the morrow. 't'll likely be somewhere around noon with a couple of home brew growlers. Looking to take a lap or two on teh corner.

I got a pair of the 5.10 Guide Tennies a while ago over the Boulder X purely for the room in the toe box. They have been treating me well and I can trek a few miles in them just fine. The edge nicely. I use them mostly for bouldering breaks at PSU and they they are not the thing holding me back from V6. They are not that great on wet surfaces like alluded to above. It would be good to hear some first hand experience about the Alpina approach shoes. They look slick.

Its only at ~3000' feet so I doubt that there is much in the way of snow up there. Snow levels have hardly dropped that low this year and they've get rain on it shortly after. Caveman's webcam in Trout Lake makes it look like there won't be much snow up there. Maybe some isolated patches, but probably nothing that the red devil can't handle. http://www.wunderground.com/webcams/caveman/1/show.html

The ice on Multnomah early today. GO GET IT!!!!!!!
