billcoe Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 The bulk of the routes are at the far end... on either side of silver bullet. I have recently begun new route development but a wasp's nest put a temporary suspension in my activities John, a heads up for no charge, if we are thinking of the same area: just so you know, the things that look like hundreds of little sticks growing out of the wall right there is Poison Oak. I sprayed it this summer and killed @ 90 percent of it, but between the leaf drop due to cold and the spraying, you can't tell it's poison oak. If you can not touch any of it with bare hands you will be better off. And even then....chop it with tools, keep the face shields down and your fingers crossed. Good luck. No charge for the advice. Wasps nest: try stomping on it with the foot fangs on! Or alternatively - cans of raid are couple of bucks:-) regards; bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 I'm so on it with the Raid! Little bastards gonna die! I haven't been touching any of the debris/vegetation with bare hands so I'm in the clear so far but still thanks man! Hope to see you out there or at Stonies And all you planning on attending Wed... give me a shout! So far looks like 3-6 attending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 Park on Rock Butte Road just before the rock wall starts. Rock wall starts c. 300' past the big dome building. Look for the silver on the right. Google map Cross the road walking into the woods (towards the cliff). You will find a trail. Go right on the trail. You will know you are going the right way if you pass a tunnel that runs under rocky butte road. Continue c. 100' watching for top rope anchors on the left and listen for crampons on rock.

kioti Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Uploaded some pictures from drytooling last Saturday at the Butte. It was my first time out drytooling, and I had a blast. I'll be out again... soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 that's pretty rad that you guys are working together/sharing gear/getting out and doing this. Nice that two folks can climb with one set of tools. It'll be really nice in winter when all the rock is wet. Where can the Seattle-ites dry-tool?

John Frieh Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 that's pretty rad that you guys are working together/sharing gear/getting out and doing this. PDX: putting the climb in cascadeclimbers.com Next session: 10/12/05 4pm - whenever Make sure to bring a headlamp... the days are getting short so we will likely climb after dark. A thermos of hot something might be in order also. As always let me know if you are coming so I can bring enough top ropes: 541.231.2062 Sidenote: is anyone interested in starting a weekly Mt Hood allnighter climb club thingee? I'd like to start climbing Hood via some route once a week (or bi monthly or something) and start early enough the night before to be up and down and still be back in time for work/whatever the next morning. Shoot me a pm if interested... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 that's my b-day so i gotta get drunk instead i used to climb hood at night all the time...i'll be down for that whenever it'll fit my already insane schedule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Frieh Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hey I might be down for this hood night thing. Sounds like good training! Exactly my idea. I know a lot of people are headed to bigger projects in the spring or just want to be in good shape. I thought a weekly lap up Hood might in order for some cardio in addition to keeping an eye on the every changing rime conditions on I rock. Anybody keen to the idea should shoot me a pm. I'd like to start next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you guys need is a some chunk of rock no one carries about... the closer to Seattle the better... the more time climbing and the less time driving for training nights is key! Also as your skill set improves look for steeper stuff... it will only help. Even more important then that is you need a core group of motivated individuals that want to be there on a weekly basis. Even if it is just 2 or 3 people as long as you guys are meeting weekly you will build the momentum needed to get a weely climb night established. I know trekandclime, Ade, Alpinedave and some other dudes went a few times last year... see if they are interested in starting one up. Good luck!
