If there still around after this weekend I'll hit you up.

If the timing works, I've been meaning to get up there as well.

I'll keep an eye out on CL-PDX

Its the first weekend of May every year.

sounds as though they may be similar to multiplexers; a node where data transmissions are repackaged. Are they only one way type things? sensory or muscle triggering? Are those two things separate within nervous system?

whats a ganglion?

if you're going to spew, spew into this

Stick to the sport since lugging around a trad rack turns a playground into a slog... Get on Voyage of the Cowdog, walk off with all yer gear past Easy's, and then have fun.

Thanks for the offer Bill, but I think that crack is a little small for those guys to fit in, could barely get my nut tool in there to jiggle the lobes directly.

Not to say he's a bad guy, but its just funny to hear him referred to in that way.

Think I saw you out at Farside on Sunday... good place to learn the art. Lowering not advised; top belay and rap much better for you and your rope...

no pins left since Bill Coe retrobolted it and I stuck Ian's cam in the top/fun part... making it draws only unless its 2trad4u

http://www.amazon.com/White-Waterproof-Outdoor-Flood-Powered/dp/B007HXKPTO wires, switch, and one of thems ^^^^^ I used them for a mobile lighting system and they are freaking awesome. Internal driver and protection for the LEDs and only 10W (more like 12 in reality, but thats piddly still). You could have a separate battery for only this that you charge on the alternator while driving. Easy Peasy.

Third that. Did SS once only placing one cam and I could have easily put a hex in right near where I put that. There is also a bolt line just to the left of the first and last pitch that are just as moderate iffens your gear is doing it for you. The bolt line next to the first pitch has some fun moves and is pretty darn chill. A #2 is nice for the airy traverse pitch of SS, but again, not totally necessary. Be sure to bring two ropes with you! The ten feet of down climb on the first rap isn't hard, but it ain't fun either. You can actually rap the anchors on the top of SS to a station climbers left of the route if there is a lot fo traffic on the route.

That would explain why I was so cheesed

Its a bit of a trek for such a short climb, but First Ascent Crack on Spiderman Buttress eats nuts real nicely. I have done Spiderman on passive pro only, but I wouldn't recommend it if you are new; its a little heady and not the easiest pro.

I've found that squeeze balls/rings don't really do much for strength, but they seem to work well for increasing my hand and forearm endurance. Helps me get through painfully boring lectures too! Ease into it. I had a "climbers elbow" issue for a while. Tennis elbow is when the tendon to bone attachment weakens, it was my tendon to muscle attachment that didn't keep up with my muscles getting stronger. Stayed off the overhanging problems and did high rep low weight (hundred+ controlled reps with a 5lb weight) exercises like the chainsaws to remedy that, but it would help anyone getting into it as well I presume. Been great since.

You've seen what happens to shiz thats lefted in there. I freshened it up last summer and finished it off late that fall since there was no need to let it turn to what I found the first time I was up there. I can lug a Purple Gorilla up there iffens I get out that way. Got one out at yer-thedral yet?

I tend to hit the Circuit more often. Don't have to deal with ropes and harnesses and all that shizzy; just get straight to the moves. I'll be there tonight before I hit the Left Coast Country show at the Doug Fir.

You are the answer to my dreams Nah, but really, it would be great to get out this weekend. PM sent.

That the Steens in the fourth pic? What he said^

Time to Shower p1 (.8) was what I was thinking, not More Kevin than Sandy (.11a); MKTS is a great climb at that grade though as it has cleaned up nicely from repeated ascents.

I remember slipping a tiny nut, BD 5, in that top part. Never tested it with a fall, but it worked well enough for my follower to yank on as he was frenchin it. I've only done that top piece of the climb seeing as I went up The Headwall and then saw that and wanted to play on it real bad. Plus there is a nice surprise at the anchor on The Headwall
