You should post all the ones you have checked off before you ask that. Should minimize a lot of the incoming spray.

[gapertimmy]

what about Oregon Choss Selected Wanks? I've done a bunch from that book

The point was to induce the spray. As for the Ore Choss Wanks > Select? Besides the Palmer Glacier Headwall Direct (without the fixed lines), Are there any select in Oregon?

Bolts and sport climbing vs. alpine climbing mentality seem to generate a lot of spray. Also dont forget about politics, pot smoking, mountaineers or WAC and environment

[JayB]

I think I've done two in the first volume and two in the second. Going for the big number 5 this weekend, baby!

[iain]

The super-classics:

Black Butte direct

Collier Cone, crater wall

Pilot Butte, north face

 

Am I on the right track Tim?

 

The only climb I've done in the selected climbs books is

Sandy Headwall on Hood a couple times. I need to move northward.

[wayne]

Those the super-classics are sound, I think the best Or-choss-wank is E.butt of Washington.

[To_The_Top]

Vol I: 12, all the easy ones!

[MtnHigh]

Larch Mtn N Face Multnomah Creek variation

Table Mtn SE Ridge direct

 

Ya wont find these classics in no woos ass guide book

Only the 'in' PDX crowd knows where to find these gems

Yea baby bring on the hard stuff

How bad is the rock on the east buttress? I've heard good things about that climb. Poorly protected?

That's quite a resume you've compiled. Maybe Nelson and Potterfield will have some space in vol. III in the "below-treeline sickfest" section.

OK, how about how many of the 50 classic climbs in North America (not to be confused with the newer 50 favorite climbs) have you done? I haven't seen the list, actually, but I know I've done at least one: the Petit Grepon in Rocky Mt. Nat. park. It was pretty spectacular and not very hard.

 

How about y'all? Any recommendations?

I climbed the 51st Classic of North America. It's at Vantage

Yeah, if you're thinking o fdoing the E Butt on Middle Cathedral in the Valley, go left and do the DNB instead. Longer, a little harder, more commiting and a lot less crowded.

Have people here climbed the Lotus Tower? That's one of the 50 classics in NA is it not? It looks beautiful.

[Nelly]

Can't speak of the quality of the E. Buttress Route on Washington, but I'm familiar with the SE Spur Route. The first 3-4 pitches follow a nice ridge on good rock. The remaining 5-6 pitches have a lot of ledges with tons of loose rock just waiting to fall off. The protection is generally pretty good but the climbing is pretty easy. As for "alpine rock routes" in Oregon, it rates pretty good, but tread lightly!!

I have made 50 classic first ascents that eclipse both the Steck/Roper 50 and the Kroese 50 in quality, line, position and aesthetics

now we're getting somewhere.

OK for you that don't have the books, here's links to the lists in question:

vol 1

 

vol 2

 

Wayne, do you think you could type in the route list for Kearney's book please?

 

Put me down for 18 in vol 1, 7 in vol 2 part I, 19 in the sport/crag section of vol 2. There.

[gapertimmy]

i'm personally eyeing a variation to the normal NW direct on blackbutte. there is a bit more exposure and some tricky moves, i think it will be a new classic line.
