cluck Posted March 5, 2004 Posted March 5, 2004 The weather looks suck for climbing and BC riding so I'm looking to do some Gorge adventure thrashing. On a hike to Table Mountain (WA side of Gorge near Bonneville Dam) I spied some cool rock spire that I think is called Sacagawea Rock or Papoose Rock. Anyone ever heard of these? Anyone ever climbed these? Any idea if they are a simple scramble or a 5th class moss & choss death voyage ? Preemptive thanks! Quote
Mtguide Posted March 5, 2004 Posted March 5, 2004 (edited) We also call these the Rabbit Ears.Refer to p.126 of Portland Rock Climbs by Tim Olson.Although I've never done them,I've been told that the first pitch would probably be best protected by those 2 foot long round metal stakes used to set forms for pouring sidewalks,if that gives you any indication.Your second presupposition seems to be more accurate.But everyone I've talked to who's done them said they had fun,and a number have repeated it.The second pitch,to the (either)summits,is actual rock,pretty decent. -------------------------------------------------------- Is it rock-like mud,or just mud-like rock?

cluck Posted March 5, 2004 Author Posted March 5, 2004 Oooohhh.... Rabbit Ears. I've heard folks talk about the Rabbit Ears but I thought they were referring to something down south in the Menagerie. That explains why I couldn't find it in the book. Thanks a ton for you info. I'll be sure to rack up some rebar and a sledge hammer for the first pitch. Quote
