Cobra_Commander Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 The trophy should be a bronzed pile in the shape of beacon rock (with slinged little toothpick trees sticking out of it and loose plastic dogs running around the base taking dumps). Quote
Ireneo_Funes Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Â But seriously, now that all this beta's been published on the climbing website of record, I'm going down there this weekend with all my pals. We'll be toproping the first 5 feet of all your favorite routes. Thanks in advance for your patience. Quote
lancegranite Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 wow, is it too late for my team to sign up? Quote
layton Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 wow, is it too late for my team to sign up? Â No, you can play larry the lamma's team for a round robin. Quote
AFIVE Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Cool! I'll finally run into some of you. I climb there every weekend and I never see any of you out there. If you have more than a tripple set of cams you can actually make it all the way to the anchors! Quote
Ireneo_Funes Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Well...there are like 45 of us. Plus we "reserved" all the routes, so... Quote
shapp Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 I got the shizzle on the directions to the tasty crakizzle and will be in the area all next week, hope to check this place out for myself. Quote
AFIVE Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 I'm sorry I missed you and your 45 buddies out there Friday and Saturday. They must have had better plans to climb somewhere else. I even had 12 of each size cam for you to supplement your rack with! Maybe we'll see you there next week. Quote
Dru Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 I'm climbing the crack RIGHT NOW and I have 22 of each size cam; take that! Quote
David Trippett Posted October 16, 2005 Posted October 16, 2005 (edited) Appears that someone became lost on the Backside trail.... Sunblessed is up the gulley....then exit to the right about 2/3 the way up or so  Edited October 16, 2005 by avitripp Quote
AFIVE Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 That's pretty cool that you can be on your computer while climbing 90' handcracks. 22 cams, you must really like to stich it up! I thought my rack was rediculous with 12 of each camalot. 22 WOW! That's more than you need for even the longest IC routes. You are deffinately the coolest! Quote

Â 22 cams go pretty quick when you start stacking them in chimneys. i also have 22 pieces of plywood for making the cam sandwiches Quote
corvallisclimb Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 you guys are soft climb with a tripple set of hexs Quote
John Frieh Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 I just heard that Jeff's 2nd edition will have c. 70 routes for this area... up from 25 in the 1st edition. Â to AFIVE and all the other locals busting their es to develop a sweet crag so close to PDX! All on sight ground up too boot (that's for you Pope )! If only I could get my in shape Quote
panch13 Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 I went over there yesterday and found it no problem. Bit of a hike to get to. If you've ever rafted the Deschutes and you're a climber then I'm sure you've seen it. Quote
BillA Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) It's really quite nice, wish it were warm over there. Ahhhhhhh... Edited January 30, 2006 by BillA Quote
panch13 Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 It was nice yesterday. The sun was out and the skies were clear. Beautiful day for scouting. Quote
AFIVE Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Doesn't anyone climb anything else other than GoldRush? Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I occasionally try to kick over that teetering column with the deathblock on top of it. Vantage simulator. Quote
panch13 Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 So does anybody have an idea as to ratings on these climbs? Just curious. Quote
AFIVE Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Yes. I have the names and ratings for the 60 some routes that I'm aware of over there. Just like IC...it kind of depends on your hand size. I know that Gold Rush is 5.10- for most guys, but for any girl...It is solid 5.11....JR Token is a 5.10+ for the dudes and pretty cruiser 5.10- for the ladies. A good 80% of the routes there are in the 5.10- to 5.10+ range. Like any good trad area.....the ratings are a bit sandy. Currently the hardest route there is 5.11+ with potential for some hard 5.12's. Nothing is really easier than 5.10-. Quote
John Frieh Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 will only further assure you of major sponsorship in the future... Â Â Right on Gavin! I'll be your belay slave any day Quote
powderhound Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 ANY TIME SOMEONE WANTS TO GO OUT THERE AND THEY THINK THEY HAVE THE ENDURNACE, GIVE ME A HOLLER. Quote
