Peter_Puget Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Ok so my winter/spring plans are to get in free climbing shape, climb a few aid lines at Index, do a couple small walls in the spring, squeeze in either a long late winter weekend Vegas or Jtree trip and to send a Smith route and then have DFA ask me for beta. What are some of your goals desires after this dark period (AKA winter) passes. PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Puget, aren't you one of the hard-sending types on this here web site? DFA probably WOULD be asking you for beta. Let's see, goals: - Climb more and harder - Save money - Climb some trad routes - Run more - Avoid injuries - Beer and tacos often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_Puget Posted November 5, 2002 Author Share Posted November 5, 2002 DFA - I am a wimp! Besides belayers are often a good source of beta! PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambone Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Pete...the first thing you need to learn about wall climbing is that being in shape is not a requirement. That's why I do it. The only thing you need is enough whishy and smokes to make it to the top Eric- shhhhhhh.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only a rudimentary understanding of aid climbing and no experience. It only sounds fun because you can do it in the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter_Puget Posted November 5, 2002 Author Share Posted November 5, 2002 Years ago I climbed the start of Unfinished Symphony in the rain. Fun day. Well while it was raining. By the way I have the complete beta for free climbing that first pitch (pro and holds)if anyone wants it. I can't imagine doing one of those aid routes. Scary! But I'd sure pull out the binoculars if I ever see someone climbing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puge, The Doctor saw someone up there once, on one of the routes on the left side. They were fucking around with a portaledge; whether setting up or taking down it was hard to say. DFA recalls that it was Ryan Lawson, before he became the Smith Rock bolting maven. Love, Dr. Flash Amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbw1966 Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 I've seen a couple of fellas up on that wall many moons ago. I've thought about it about as long as it takes to remember the last time a hold broke off in my hand. No thanks. I've done some solo aid at Broughtons and a location that shall remain unnamed. Anyone know of any decent aid lines near Portland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
