Distel32 Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 so went out to this newish alpine bouldering area. did some good problems, going back thursday. killer rock! Quote
cman Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 nice spot any info on the secret local? how far a hike is it? Quote
Distel32 Posted August 4, 2004 Author Posted August 4, 2004 I don't know what mtn it is on. you drive out higway 20, then take 9 south, then go east along the river, and take a logging road for like 20mins. the hike is about 4 mins to the boulders from the logging road. but it takes some time to negotiate crossing the boulder field to get around. you can be going from your car to climbing in 10mins though. if you are free thursday after 12pm you are welcome to come. you need quite a few pads, landings are mostly squamish style.

larrythellama Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 we have been bouldering in a new area near stevenson, tho you have to negotiate a talus and alot of poison oak. it is on really nice basalt with bad landings. Quote
dberdinka Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 Do I see the unmistakeable Schnozz of Jason Henry? Quote
Dru Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 the dog spotter adds a fanciful touch. i would have to say that below treeline = not alpine. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 Way to throw shit down all over the vegetation, too! Maybe bring along a weed whacker next time for good measure, or perhaps some Agent Orange! Quote
Distel32 Posted August 4, 2004 Author Posted August 4, 2004 yeah, all those plants spring right back up anyway. Yeah Jason found the place (as usual) oh shut up Dru, come down and play with us tomorrow! Quote
specialed Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 Sub-alpine garbage choss heap. Don't boulder in the real alpine though you'll ruin fragile plants and cyptobiotic soil and shit. Quote
Dru Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 there aint no cryptobiotic soil in the alpine only in the desert. in many alpine areas there is no soil at all! distel should get some leashless tools and a crampon-proof mat and go serac bouldering Quote
Distel32 Posted August 4, 2004 Author Posted August 4, 2004 petey is so mixed up...... choss it is not. Quote
specialed Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 petey is so mixed up...... choss it is not. It fell off some cliff ... so its just a big piece of choss. Quote
layton Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 petey is so mixed up...... choss it is not. It fell off some cliff ... so its just a big piece of choss. Did you make that up? That is the wittiest thing I've heard about bouldering in a long time. Quote
Dru Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 if it really is an alpine area are you going to be trying out the viagra? Quote
Distel32 Posted August 4, 2004 Author Posted August 4, 2004 petey is so mixed up...... choss it is not. It fell off some cliff ... so its just a big piece of choss. Did you make that up? That is the wittiest thing I've heard about bouldering in a long time. b u r n the earth is choss, so stfu Quote
Dru Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 actually the majority of the earth is a giant iron crystal the choss layer is proporionally thinner than the skin on an apple Quote
Szyjakowski Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 actually 85% of the earth is made up of minerals rich in silica, oxygen, iron, & magnesium (the mantle). the core which i assume drul was referring to consists of a solid nickel-iron alloy inner portion and a molten nickel-iron alloy outer portion. the analogy of the crust/apple is a good one.
