slothrop Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Didn't anyone climb anything this weekend? Is Chaps right, do we just sit around without lives and post junk all day? WHERE ARE THE TRIP REPORTS? I climbed Mount Washington Park in Portland this weekend with my mom, via the Rose Garden variation. On the way up, I saw some dangerous cliffs covered with chicken wire that I could climb, but the sign said I would be prosecuted to the FULL EXTENT of the law if I did. Instead, we descended into the valley and I free-soloed Mount Tonkatsu with Curry Sauce, with the sit start. The entire Canadian Navy was parked on the Willamette River, so we boarded their ships (arr!), meeting with minimal resistance. I departed Sunday to complete the Portland-Seattle enchainment, topping out on the UW Rock at approximately 6:45pm. This extreme effort was not without personal cost, however, as I was late for helping prepare dinner and my girlfriend was mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Worked on saturday. Saw "Howls Moving Castle" saturday night Smoke Bluffs on Sunday. Little bit of sprinkling but dry enough to climb. Flailed on 5.11 slab. Toes still hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbw1966 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Spent the weekend at the beach sitting outside and reading a great book, eating and drinking too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Flailed on 5.11 slab. Toes still hurt. which one? stupid Ronins Corner one is it just my imagination or does the line now climb completely differently at the bottom, where the old footholds are now too slick to use due to top rope flailings like mine?

foraker Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 you should climb with me Dru, i can teach you my kung-fu strength flailing technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dberdinka Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Two dozen pitches in L-Town. Bootied a cam, passed noobs via the Remorse variation to OS (Remorse = ), did a comparitive taste test of Heidelburger vs Gustavs (Gustavs just barely), avoided the tool at our illegal bivi, hung out with Larry.

It's been years since I climbed that thing - I seem to remember traversing in a bit to get to the 1st bolt. Have you played on any of the slabs on Upper Malamute? Discovered them a couple of weeks ago - good lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fern Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I dunno. it's reachy hard at the bottom and slippery hard in the middle and easy at the top where it's hardly ever been climbed because flailers fail halfway up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottP Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 snip(Remorse = :noway)snip That's one ugly route. Appropriate name though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireneo_Funes Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Monkey Face via the West Face Variation on Saturday, and on Sunday an attempt on Mt Washington which was foiled by ice & snow on top. I'm ridiculously sunburnt today. I promise to put sunscreen on next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
