willstrickland Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Turns out I'm moving to Fairbanks,AK instead of PDX, and I'm looking for the local knowledge. Anybody know any climbers living up there? Quote
allthumbs Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Hey Will I don't know anybody up there, but was curious as to what you'll be doing up there. You know, for work and shit. -trask Quote
Marko Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 Met these guys in the AK Range a few times: Look up Jeff Benowitz. He's a cool out there kinda guy and a very solid climber. Also, try Rick Studley when he's sober. Mark Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 Cool - now I know where to score the greens and take a bivy at beyotch. Quote
bDubyaH Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 Will, there are plenty of climbers running around in Fairbanks, the Granite Tors are a cool rock formation to climb. Mostly you will be heading south to climb in the AK range (which you can see from campus). Stop in a Beaver Sports to gain some local knowledge, also check out the Alaska Alpine Club. Oh yeah, be ready for the screamin/barfies ice climbing up there is freakin cold! Quote
