Alpiners Anonymous: PDX dry tool night

[billcoe]

Sean, I know you got a new rope and are very proud, but last night Troy (cyclone) drug out the best looking rope I've ever seen. Bright yellow with a slight green irridecence. WOW.

 

BTW, a respectable pump was had by all last night: Nate, Troy, Tim and moi.

 

Da boyz were flyin....Tim wuz drippin...Newcomers were flippin. All good.

[Crackman]

Thanks for the climbing Bill!

 

I'm all clear, let's do it again on Thur.

[billcoe]

You're on Tim. You call the location, 5:45 same time good?

[Crackman]

5:45 is good. I don't have preference yet on where - let's figure it out when we get there.

[billcoe]

Works for me, anyone else gonna be there?

[shuksan]

Me too. Around the same time as you guys.

[Farrgo]

Anybody want to climb at Beacon tomorrow? I have the whole day off, give me a call.

[aradia]

I'll be there, Bill. We need to do WR buttress. =)

[billcoe]

Shit Sean, sorry guy, I forgot all about this and left my big hex/tube chock at home. Can you bring a #4 or 5 cam?

 

We'll figure it out. see you folks tonight.

[castlecrag]

I should be there tonight for a good pump session too!

[aradia]

Biggest cam I have is a #3.5 friend. Biggest hex is a BD #9. We can probably figure something out, though. We're creative. =)

[billcoe]

I'll go saw a pallet up right now. We'll sling a 2 x 4 that measures 4-1/2 inches. Wait, I don't have a friggan saw here.

 

Hmmmmmmm.

 

We'll figure something else out, bring the rope protectors, 3 tricycles, a midget in a clown suit and a sheep.

[aradia]

I don't think I have 3 tricycles, but the rest shouldn't be a problem. See ya then.

[billcoe]

Well a good time was had by all. Tim, Ron, Sean and Hugh were turnin and burnin last night.

 

The highlight was finding a piece on Blackberry which came right out. I don't know why it was left, and normally I'd consider that bootie, but in an attempt to be less of an asshole, I'll return the piece if you identify it and the old, beat up biner. Otherwise Sean called dibs.

 

Thought I'd post it here since all the locals seem to be using this thread and don't normally read the lost and found thread.

 

Lost and found piece

[climberw]

Is this still an ongoing/every thursday thing?

[billcoe]

Not EVERY Thursday, but seems like most of the time. Check in on this thread a day or 2 previous - like Wed., if you are thinking next Thurs (or any other specific day) is do-able for you.

[aradia]

Who's up for the butte tomorrow?

[billcoe]

Who's up for the butte tomorrow?

 

Me ! me ! me ! me ! me!

last week:

 

 

bring the rope protectors, 3 tricycles, a midget in a clown suit and a sheep.

 

BTW, FYI, the used condoms scrounged on the ground didn't help at all last week, lets try and prepare eh?

 

If it's just you and me: Phylynx and the sandpaper 5.10 offwidth next to it?

Sounds good.

[John Frieh]

I should be there... what time? I wanna do Phylynx!

[powderhound]

I should be there... what time? I wanna do Phylynx!

 

1st. Your making me jealous that I can't be there to join in on the fun.

 

2nd. John, is that by chance a 7 inch offwidth

[nat]

Does someone want to walk me around Carver, showing some spots? I'd like to take my young daughter with me sometime but don't want to hunt around with her. Having a heads-up prior to going would be great.

 

I can provide wheels if needed.

Thanks,

NAT

Come along then John. Love your company and your upbeat attitude is always a happy addition to any outing I'm on, any time: tue @ 5:45pm tomorrow, like always, if you get there early head up and boulder some to stretch out so we can jump right on it and not pull tendons and muscles like some other old men. Damn it's nice to have people showing up and belaying and climbing.

 

Bryan, can't make it? We'll miss you. We'll do it later, you'll have to console yourself with dream of 1000' unclimbed granite.

 

BTW, you dudes, my buddy Ujahn has some 3,000 foot unclimbed granite lines scoped out in Alaska if you're interested.

Nat, sorry, rarely head to Carver. Been years. No reason, but if I have a full day I head to Beacon or points beyond, if it's a partial day it's typically Butte or Broughtons.

Is your daughter like @ 10-12 years old or so? Maybe we could do something else which would equally get her psych on for climbing? But not tomorrow for me.

 

 

 

BTW, you dudes lose my phone number for those weekend trips?

Nat,

I am in bozeman now, but if you park at the little church thing and walk up and around the gate you will find a trail. Go to the second wall ( the one w/o the big disclamer sign) On the second wall there is a slab that is good for TRin, I think that it is like 5.6 no matter which way. The slab will be to looker left of a striking overhanging finger crack. have fun good luck at getting them into it young. Wish my parents would have done the same.

[billcoe]

...

I am in bozeman now.....

 

 

We ain't going climbing together no mo?

 

 

See you next year dude, but I gotta say this since by way of a good-by you snagged a prime line without me and all I got was a great Trip report out of it: it was a great pleasure to have made your aquaintance. Really.

 

Stay in touch, we'll do an extra laps up Phylynx in your honor tonight.
