Portland area Climbing/Room Rental

[Yos]

Working in Hillsboro, Or for the summer and need to find a place to live as well as get an idea of what climbing options are available (small nearby crags, partners, etc.).

[b-rock]

Check this link for general info on local crags:

The book Portland Rock Climbs has detail on each of these areas.

 

Don't know about room rentals, Hillsborough is kind of in the burbs.

if you feel like feeding my cats while i'm in alaska for a month, promise not to rape my next door neighbors' kids, and don't mind driving a bit from vancouver, i'll give you a whole damn house fo' free...

[b-rock]

does that include wifey?

[ivan]

perhaps you took feeding the cats a bit too literally?

 

actually she'll be chill'n in the state of the virginia queen, by a beach w/ an ocean you can actually swim in while i freeze in the big fridge

[bigwalling]

I bet there aren't any walls like index around there!

Thanks for the info, though it seems my future doesn't look too bright.

If you are working in Hellsburrito then you are correct, you're in grim straits. The local newsweekly, Willamette Week, has a section devoted to rooms for rent/roommate situations. Check that shiznit out for the 411 on housing. Unless you want to live in the burbs you're in for a hellish commute.

 

Oh, and the crags are a lot further away.

 

 

The end is near, repent or burn in the eternal suburban fires.

if living in Hillsboro, you might as well live on the coast in Tillamook or something. Only adds 5% of the commute time.

Unemployed and unable to climb due to a combination of bad weather and an unfortunate accident with a baby bottle, cotton balls and a mis-labeled tube of Preparation-H, erik sought comfort and solace in a long-distance internet relationship with Iain. Smelling the putrid air of desperation and angst, Iain rejected erik's advances in spite of the combined lure of a free stay in a squamish cabin and a french-maid outfit. Erik never recovered from the affront to his erstwhile masculinity and lifts his leg on Iain forevermore.

Yea, but watch out if you fall. Some of them can be a cheese grater.
