baldwin Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Does anyone think Smith Rocks will be good climbing this weekend? The forecast is for temps in the mid 50's with clouds but only 20% chance of rain. Would vantage be just as good? Anyone want to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter_Puget Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Speaking of fat I stepped on a scale today and found out that I am 157% of RumR's weight and only 112% of his height - plus I have 10 years on him! Â Looks like I am going to have to take up alpine climbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Looks like I am going to have to take up alpine climbing. Â Speaking as someone who slurped down 2 pints of Haagen Daz last night, best not go there. Â Smith looks like it would be classic spring weather! Perfect for the south faces, which is plenty of stuff. Both Meadows and Timberline closed to skiing Tuesday, which usually doesn't happen until Spring. Â So spring is here, it's almost official now.........a little early no, Jan 19th? Only difference would be the shortness of the days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Smith Rock was incredibly good on Saturday; probably on Sunday, too. Aside from the wind, it was one of the best days in recent Smith memory. Perfect temp'ature, not too sunny or too cloudy, lots of friends there but not too crowded, T___ brought along some insanely good rum, got on a 'tard--er, trad--route (on TR), ran into Jonah on the trail out whilst passing the bottle, killer dinner at Martina's on the way home. The only thing that would've made the weekend better is if we had stayed for Sunday, too. And maybe if there had been some sending. Â For those who stayed home, you totally missed out, and also thanks for keeping the crowds down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireneo_Funes Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Hey, glad to do my part! Â Â Staying at home & watching movies on the couch is the best possible conditioning for the not paying, not climbing season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlag Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I concur on the weekend, perfect temps and lots of sun. A little crowded on Sat. so we headed to the Marsupials and had the place to ourselves. Almost got a sundburn. Sunday it cleared out a bit by noon but the wind picked up. Still like spring out there, but wait it's supposed to be winter. And DFA, the real secret mexi-spot is in Metolius, better know your espanol.
