Ireneo_Funes Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 Who's up for doing some climbing at the Butte tomorrow (Thursday, 7/29)? I'm thinking like 6:15-6:30 pm.
billcoe Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 Hi Irene: Works for me. You won't see me if there's more than @ 8 -10 people though, too much like a Mountie/Mazama begineers class size. Where would you like to meet? Ever TR Phylnx @5.11A)? (3/4 people max if you hang from the Eastern ledge anchors.)
Ireneo_Funes Posted July 28, 2004 Author Posted July 28, 2004 Hey Bill -- Actually I was thinking Breakfast Cracks again - White Rabbit or Bird of Paradise are what I'm in the mood for. I didn't get enough flail time on BOP last time we climbed there! I'd like to try Phylynx sometime but I'm out of shape and it might be too burly for me this week. I'll be up there on the road between 6:15-6:30; look for my yellow bike. Or if you want to meet at a particular route let me know. Dan
MtnHigh Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 You might have gotten a better turn out, but Shred's b-day party was Thursday night, so beer swilling trumped climbing for a number of us. A few on us were talking at the party about re-energizing what we had going last year. Bump this thread on Monday and the gang will turn out.
billcoe Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Pete - it was awesome. Both of us climbed our asses off. Me and Irene. No crowds.
Winter Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 yo whaddap pdx beyotches?! shred, hope you had a good bday event. stopping back in seattle for a couple of days before leaving back for bc early next week. done with first week in n cascades, breakdown time in revelstoke, week in the bugs, crag time at lake louie. who wants to climb?!
MtnHigh Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 Bill, for you to climb you ass off you must have done some hard core long climbs, cause there's a lot of ass there to work on.
b-rock Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 Hey, I was just thinkin' we PDXers gotsta get some drinking on, ideally after a little climbing. How about next Tuesday the 10th? Still got a broken toe and probably can't climb but I'll swill twice as much if that helps.
rbw1966 Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 Yer on. Assuming my car has been fixed by then or if its close to downtown I can bike it.
Ireneo_Funes Posted August 5, 2004 Author Posted August 5, 2004 Can't make it climbing Tuesday but later in the week maybe. Might be able to make it for the drinking part - name a place?
cj001f Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Yer on. Assuming my car has been fixed by then or if its close to downtown I can bike it. I might be able to give you a ride (I might have a dinner commitment should no this w/e)
rbw1966 Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 That would be cool. Would you actually be climbing or just going for beer? Let me know and I'll bring my gear to work.
cj001f Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 That would be cool. Would you actually be climbing or just going for beer? Let me know and I'll bring my gear to work. I'd be taking my sucky beergut to the rock, then the beer! I'll let you know Monday.
billcoe Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Bill, for you to climb you ass off you must have done some hard core long climbs, cause there's a lot of ass there to work on. Nothing really hard core Pete, it was just Irene and me, and I only got part of the ass climbed off if the truth was really told. What I think is happening, is that I can climb my ass off on a Tuesday, however, 2 pints of Haagen-Daz, 3 big macs, 5 chocolate chip cookies and 2 bottles of wine later it's back in full force, and larger as well. This might take a bit to figure out. I gotta do is whatever you are doing to maintain that youthful figure, whatever that is. Perhaps going and hurling after a great meal is what I think could be happening there. Rob, bring your gear to work and I'll be there on the 10th for sure to climb with you and Pete as well as get a belay from any broken toe people as well. Side note Jeff: there are few things as good as a broken toe climber who still gives good belay. When I broke my foot and was hiking out last year, I was invited to belay some of my friends as I passed: which I did. They were very impressed and happy. Course then the foot swole up something terrible. Elevate and ice. Elevate and ice. Elevate and ice. Repeat as necessary. Hope you hobble over for a cold one, hopefully it's not enough to keep you off the bike for long in this short window of fantastic weather. Hanger and T leave for Peru Thursday. Maybe they will join in for 1 last quick Oregon pump before the Inca trail blows up the thighs and shrinks their arms. Hopefully we don't get to large of a herd though. I'm invited? Right?
ivan Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 going up to the n cascades for a few days but if i'm back in time i'll be there
b-rock Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Thx for the advice Bill. Trying to lay low and let things heal but it's tough because it doesn't hurt that much. How about Rose and Raindrop post climb - 8:00ish?
billcoe Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 33 taps..............mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm The Rose and Raindrop Restaurant and Pub 532 S.E. Grand, Portland, Oregon Tel: (503) 238-6996 Hours: Mon -Fri, 11AM - 2:30AM; Sat - Sun, 10AM - 2:30AM; kitchen closes at 11PM. 8 might be a tad early for me, quaff a few and I'll be by a bit later. I can visit with anyone who hasn't fallen off a chair by the time I arrive. Haven't heard Jeff's broken toe story yet, but would love to hear an elaborate SLURRED version if you can hold that story in till I get there..... I told my broken foot story so many times I want to be drunk before I tell it so it seems fresh to me.
Hanger Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Aye, we'll certainly giv 'er a go then I've a few stories I like to tell when the wee voice inside my head gets "worked up" as well Nothing like a 4.10f downclimb off a barstool to end the night, eh Hey, Ivan...bring your best Irish folk songs with ya!
MtnHigh Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 Bill, my advise on how to keep the lbs from sticking do not come cheap. An introductory consultation will cost ya a couple of pints at the next PC. I'm eating a quart of cookie dough ice cream as I write, so there is room for indulgence in the program. And ya don't have to blow chunks all night long either.
Hanger Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 It's good to have a "free" day....it's the free weeks that tend to put the lbs on. Oh yeah...and TURNING 50!!!! Don't be so hard on yourself there Bill (I just said hard on...hahahahah) Sorry, it's early Oh sh*t...I'm supposed to be picking you up here in a few...better get off the computer and head on over See ya in a bit Reverend Brutha Bill
