Adventure Climbing

[hrothgar]

What is the big deal with climbing the rotten $#:! in the Cascades? The only problem I see is the fact that a hold or two might pop and pro is so-so. But I figure it like MtNeering, DON'T FALL. There are few people and the view is better than any thing at Smith. Any one want to go?

No one has written anything. Either because I suck or you are all out climbing. I will take either answer. My feelings are tough.

Wait for Layton to get out of the hospital and he'll give you a good choss TR

the weird ones are those who seek out choss at smith. I recently got to see some photos of a midwinter shiprock ascent, for instance.

Mikey, shouldn't your sig say "you can't fall until you try"??????

Dude,

The rotten stuff's no big deal.

It's the clawing through canyons of thorns that sucks.

It's surprising. I just moved to Oregon and I thought there would be more climbing. You're right, you kinda have to resort to adventure climbing in order to spread your wings with so few solid options.

no, i can easily fall without trying. you can't stike out unless you step up to bat, however.

Oregon is home to volcanic burps that never really solidify. To some extent they hold shape but not real well. what I don't get is the fact that the 60's and 70's saw tons of exploration and ascents on what is now frowned upon So..... were the men of old ignorant or just better equipped with balls? I have a hunch we are all pussies now, in need of a more cush glamour session rather than a true who gives a kind of climbing expirence.

 

Any one have loppers I know of some rocks in need of some trimming. Long approach!!
