Here is a pic if anyone wants to see it.

Anyone got a link to the picture of the wahhmbulance? I searched to no avail. I want to send it to a hood to coast rival.

Free for All Free for Some Young Warriors Jills Thrill I cant remember them all.

Serenita is good. And cheap. The joints not pretentious but the crowd may be. I felt like I was not hip enough.

I was in serenita last thursday and no alcohol was in sight. Watch those jalapenos. I was crying like a baby the next morning.

What are those portland recommendations?

Got my custom bivy made of epic fabric last week and used it on Mt. Stuart. Or more accurately, at Ingalls Creek. The one I got has a hoop that can be used which is similar to the Bibler Bipod bivy but lighter. A number of you expressed some interest. If you are still interested let me know and I can bring it to the Butte or the pub and let you paw over it. I'd like to get some feedback on the design as well as see if you want to order one. I'll post a picture later. Rob

I have a pair of BMW bookshelf speakers I love. I'm not an audio wonk though. I also have a pair of Bose 301's I like.

My partner Larry and I did the N. Ridge on Sunday using a 60m half rope that we doubled up. Originally the idea was to just use it as a single strand but the rope drag was heinous and slowed us down considerably. So we doubled it and it made for really nice, comfy simulclimbing. We had none of the rope management problems that Fleb noted above. As a matter of fact, I would recommend this method. I will second the recommendation for crampons on the traverse. Although not absolutely necessary if you're wearing heavy boots (I was wearing la sprotiva approach shoes) that you can kick steps in, you'll feel one hell of a lot more comfortable with crampons. For a rack we brought 4 cams (green camelot, black metolius, purple metolius and #4 camalot), a rack of hexes and a rack of stoppers. We never used all of our gear. We were moving slow so bypassed the gendarme which in hindsight might have actually been faster. Bugs weren't bad down by Ingalls Creek nor anywhere on the route. They were heinous at Longs Pass and the trail ascending it. Fuckers were divebombing my eyeballs.

Thats why I wrote FIRST EDITION. Let me know if you cant find a copy and I can loan you mine.

It has to be posted if its public land and closed to public access

From page 144, Portland Rock Climbs (First Edition): "Ramona Falls Crag Minor climbing has been done here recently, but the area holds excellent potential for the future.. ." There is more but I'll let you find it.

Lets do it.

If its the island I am thinking about its just west of Mosier and has a house on it. It was for sale a few years ago--the entire island--so most likely private property. There are the Wooly Columns just outside of the Dalles but way too close to I-84 for me to waste my time climbing there. THere are also those columns I talked to you about. Still havent had time to investigate further. I got a canoe we can paddle over and check them out if you want.

Maybe I am incorrect. I saw a right up on Ramona Falls in one of the local guides.

Damn Ursa--way to connect the dots for the brother.

Note to self: do not post pictures of myself on this board.

Some of the climbs for that area are listed in Olson's Portland Rock Climbs. Its on my list of places to check out as there is at least one route I can climb (5.9). I assumed this was a troll as I am sure the good doctor has a copy of PRC so didn't respond sooner.

I use the trunk mount bike rack and I have no problems locking my bikes at all. I wouldn't use it if I couldn't. Just run the krypto though the frames/wheels and rack. Anyone stealing the bikes would have to take the rack too. Although not outside the realm of possibilities, its yet to happen. Good luck.

Reminds me of the funniest graffiti I ever saw in a bathroom stall of the Fort Hill diner: satin rulz Gay fashion maven or illiterate redneck?

You forgot to mention that its granite too

Any recommendations for climbing shoe resolers? I've had my enduros resoled three times with poor results. First time was some outfit in Colorado that the Portland Rock Gym recommended. Result: delaminated the third time out while climbing at Leavanworth on a very hot day. Other two times was a local guy (no longer around) and they delaminated rapidly as well. Perhaps there is something inherently wrong with the shoes causing the delams? TIA

Thats Beacon all right

I may be financing some investment property soon. Is that offer good only for re-financing?
