hemp22 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 yeah, i somehow took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up at broughton... i'm apparently not very good at planning things in advance - even if it's only 1-2 hours in advance. we got in some good climbs there too. i'll get back out to rocky eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_forester Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I'd like to get out there to do some aiding tomorrow AM...is that more interesting than soloing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I'd like to get out there to do some aiding tomorrow AM...is that more interesting than soloing? Dan- you still climb ya old woman? Damn, you gotta get yer ass out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, will you aid Flying Swallow and pay particular attention to brushing the dirt off of any potential hand or foot holds? Thanking you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Easier start for aiding may be "The Flying Dutchman", hike up to the tree at the base and straight up 2 pitches via nuts. I plan on being there tomorrow, but I think Joseph is trying to finish the bolt replacement project and since he's pretty much done...ohhh..like all of it, I'd like to offer to help, even if it just means carrying his jockstrap or an extra rope-something heavy to help out. Maybe get a lap or 2 of something in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_forester Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 hey, cool maybe I'll see you out there tomorrow! thanks for the suggestions. I still climb, sort of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackman Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Did it stay dry out there in the AM, pretty drizzly here. I got most of my projects done. Anyone up for a 1/2 day of climbing tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Tim - it was wet only @ Vancouver-Camas, I was having second thoughts....but it stayed dry. I think I might be too sore today but I suspect if you just head out to Beacon (or Ozone for that matter) , you'll find a belayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 anyone thinking of RB laps after work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackman Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I'm in - what area were you thinking Bill? If things go right at work, I'd like to get there by 5, maybe earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Guys and Gals, I'm moving the much vaunted "PDX" climbing love thread to the Climbing Partners Forum, because that is what is really is...a thread all about hooking up with other climbing partners in the PDX area. Over time this thread seems to have a hooked up a lot of people for climbing (and probably a bunch of other stuff ). We'd just like to see the Events forum used for one time events, like slideshows, etc. This isn't a negative comment about this thread, it is obviously a very positive thing, just a house keeping thing. Thanks and climb on Portland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billcoe Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Silver Bullet? But you choose Tim, I'm still sore from last weekend anyway, but am good for anything ! I may be just a tad later than 5, but I'll shoot for that. John? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billcoe Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Alright, did the rest of you pussies find some place to climb near town and didn't tell me? That place was close to deserted. Tim, Ujahn and I had most of the place to ourselves. Sore today, it's a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 who wants to climb friday afternoon/saturday? beacon, of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I'll be soloing The Plum tonight, 50 feet west of Video Bluff. Most likely TR. No Ujahn, no Tim (prior obligations). Shake my light blue Beal rope if you see it and need a belay. I'm out of here right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 This thread is dying.....no one seems to be getting out but me. FYI, it looks like a lil hot crowbar on crowbar action is need on the middle area of Bills Buttress. I'd estimate approx 10,000 lbs of rock is a quivering. be careful.

hemp22 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 It's all this beautiful weather that must be motivating people.... I was looking forward to getting out today until I woke up to rain. i'm hoping it'll dry up enough this afternoon - are you gonna still head out there? maybe if you bring a hair-dryer instead of the crowbar...

geoff Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Not dying. Just a bit harder to locate since the move. Still can't climb though. Maybe Thurs. Last Thurs. was on my way to Acker Rock for the big Traverse and then on to McKinley Rock for a run up Easy Street. Cool places if ya never been.

billcoe Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I'll be there with a hair dryer, you bring an extension cord. I have Poison Oak killer for the huge bush at the top of Blueberry, and the bit over by White Rabbit too. Then I'm gonna clip the English Ivy back on the top of WR and try and burn some easy laps to minimum pumpage and not make my elbow hurt more than it is.... all contingent barring a downpour that is. Thursday after work I think I'll go check my last Sunday spray job at PRGO and respray and maybe get a lap or 2 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PickleJuice Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I was looking for this thread the other day... Bill, I saw some more oak by the traverse wall the other day too. If you don't get to it, I'll take it out. Geoff, I'll try to make it Thurday...I'll let you know. (hope you feel better TR?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
