I have the following cams for sale: Metolius #7 - no falls, good condition, $25 Wild Country Friend 3.5 - no falls, great condition, $30 BD Camalot #3 - 1st gen, no falls, good condition, $20 BD Camalot #2 - 1st gen, no falls, great condition, $20 All in Portland, can ship for a fee.

Climbed the first three pitches today. Pitch one is scuzzy to start but if it were cleaned and brushed would be a really nice pitch. I used micro cams and a 0.4 Camalot. Pitch two is easier and one can also find microcam and larger placements so the runout is not an issue. At the top of pitch two we got pulled into a newer bolt line that follows a slabby buttress to an upper belay anchor on the left of the buttress and just below the line of iron spikes. Looks like a new route is going in as there are fixed lines up the face to the Rancho ledge. Likely JO's gear? A fun line which would be more fun with a bunch of moss scrubbing. Enjoy!

John, Have you climbed at Wolf Rock? Looking for a partner this week or week we'd.

Climbed it on Sunday the 22nd in good conditions. We were high camped at 9000' over near Middle Sister in the saddle. Took the S Ridge up to almost the intersection with the SE Ridge, traversed across to the Camel's Hump and up to the ridge proper on the north west side of the Hump. Then along the ridge for 40' or so and back down to the traverse (some call it the Terrible Traverse). The snow was firm and we had a short steeper ascent up a snow slope to the moat which was protected with rock gear as we traversed below the head wall. Once across there was a short down climb to the stance at the bottom of the Bowling Alley. Gingerly ascend the 4th class alley to the summit. Below is a shot showing the approach to the traverse and the snow section that we climbed to get up to where we traversed below the head wall.

$10 - great condition Climber's Guide to Smith Rock Alan Watts Prior Edition but who has $40 to drop on a guide when there are tons of routes covered in this one. Location: Portland

Anyone know what this route is up the valley from Alpental on the way to Source Lake?

Source Lake Ice from today - dec 17th Also saw a long ice flow off some tallish face up the Middle Fork Rd out of North Bend yesterday. It was about 1-2 miles before the turn-off for the Middle Fork trail head, across the other side of the river and clearly visible from the road. Never heard of it before, anyone?

Anyone?

Not going to the ice festival but would like to find some info regarding getting to Ourey and staying there. Anyone have any recommendations how to get from Montrose to Ourey? Looking at options besides renting a car. Where did you stay when there and how reasonable were the rates? Any recommendations would surely be appreciated. Thx
