sketchfest Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Na! can't make My busted up little brother is coming over tonight. His pro motocross career is probably over and he needs help planning his new future. Burger King is hiring aren't they? I'm still holding out hope that my original plan will stay together. I'm waiting to hear from John if he can still go (he's working on a staph(sp)infection) Anyhow, if John can't make Smith, I'm gonna stay local.

iain Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 btw I think the top of jill's thrill (2nd part) is the hardest 5.9 i've been on in awhile. seems harder than some 10 stuff there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 the pirate treasure is a single nut stuck in the southeast corner route...its about 10 meters above the large tree that's the anchor at the end of the 3rd pitch...i think a pry bar would help, as the fucking thing will move around like crazy, but just will not squeeze out anywhere (and after 40 minutes of trying, one must admit, shit, this thing cost 5 bucks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 You use a tree as an anchor for the third pitch? I usually use those shiny bolt thingys pounded into the rock. The only tree I use for an anchor on SE corner is the top of the second pitch. Do you count the traverse at the top of the first pitch as a "pitch" itself? If this is the tree of which you speak I got a nut stuck in the same spot. My partner got it out no problemo. Weird how that works sometimes If that nut is on the SE corner its gone by now.

iain Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 well there's that cam wedged on the 2nd pitch of SE corner. I think it's still there. Probably had a few goes on it by a few folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketchfest Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 The last time I was out there, that cam was totally hammered. The wires are all busted and it pretty much looks welded in place. I don't think you could call that thing "booty" the only benefit of taking the time to remove that thing would be purely aesthetics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 That cams been there for at least two years. It was a piece of shit when I first tugged on it excitedly (freebie there for ya trask, grab that ball and run with it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sketchfest Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Fun guy, I sent an email to shred about climbing Beacon on Sat. supposed to be the nicest weather day. I was thinking of heading out mid-morning. Maybe we could all car-pool? On another topic....Yes, I do believe that the Portland Pub Club should extend throughout the entire winter Cause baby PC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketchfest Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Council Crest, I could drop down the hill into NW. Shred's playing beat the clock at work, but it sounds like he might be more able to go early rather than later in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketchfest Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Yo Shred, who do you think you're fooling. I would have to say that by your last comment, that quite possibly makes you the biggest sandbagger I know. Maybe you forgot, but I've climbed with you a few times. The first time was right after you told me that you hadn't climbed much this year then turned around and waltzed up a .10A. But don't worry, I wont tell anybody.

sketchfest Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I don't need to climb hard all day. I would like to do 1-2 .10's then, I'm way into easy, maybe B-rock can come out to play as well. It would be kewl to have a couple ropes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sketchfest Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Sorry, I should rephrase, I should have said, "I can't climb hard all day" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigA Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 If this is for this Sat. 10/26 I'd be up for Beacon. I've climbed the SE corner once with b-rock and wouldn't mind doing it again. My ability limits me to .8's but I'd be willing to try a .9 or two (no promises though) Actually, I'd like to try a .9 since I've never really been on one (I've been on a few .10's with no luck ) Let me know what you think, Craig [ 10-24-2002, 04:47 PM: Message edited by: CraigA ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
