Country_Jake Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 Three daring souls set out on an adveture last saterday... before I go on.... last week I travel around town asking any one if they had ever climb a list of unnamed outcrops along hyway 58; to my suprize everyone seemed to not even notice the 200-300ft. towers that sit on the ridge line along hyway 58, or if they had never had been up to them, maybe it is because you have to ford a river, then climb a steep (40 degrees) or so slope to get to them... anyways, three of us set out at 8:00am drove east from Eugene into the cascades, to a little town I like to call cokeridge... ... we made our jurney to the rock known as BABY ROCK ... don't be fouled by the name this rock is no baby.... we hiked to the saddle between the rock and the ridge, and eat a nice lunch... then climbed and climbed and climbed... now because I didn't here of any one climbing tis paticular rock before, I might have to clame first accent on our routs... My fried and climbing partner doug, climbed a 5.10 face climb with a 5.10d crux at the top; now known as falcons flight, he got on sight as well... I on the other hand did not get on sight, as I fell on my first try at Jack of all trades, a 5.9 face followed by a 5.10 finger crack, followed by a narrow 5.6 chimmney, fell on the finger crack... and our therd partner did an easy 5.6 hand crack... we also did another chimny up and out over to the left of falcons flight... and just to cool down before our hike to the top of heckeltooth mountain, we did some bouldering on some small towers within the visinety... the view from the top of the mountain was great; a picture perfact view of Dimond peak... all and all the trip was great, I was thankfull for the 12 pack of beer waiting at the truck for us...

iain Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 Nice work but your spelling is atrocious . Better hit the books bro'. Congrats on your routes. Quote
Dru Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 There are no new routes in the Cascades. Fried Bakey climbed all those routes with 5 pitons and a tied off pebble back in 1954. Quote
specialed Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 If Fred climbed that shit in the 50's he definetly didn't free it so you atleast got the FFA Quote

The crowd rapidly dispersed". Quote

Cpt.Caveman Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 Fried Bakey sent Baby rock in his underwear at age 12 with hemp ropes, sandals and rock chockstones. Quote
Country_Jake Posted May 6, 2002 Author Posted May 6, 2002 Yeh and he may have even used his cock in place of a peice of gear to but I never heard of it... Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted May 7, 2002 Posted May 7, 2002 NO he tied the rope to his dong since he had no harness either Quote
Dru Posted May 7, 2002 Posted May 7, 2002 quote: Originally posted by Country Jake: Yeh and he may have even used his cock in place of a peice of gear to but I never heard of it... Dont you mean "used his big balls and ran it out like a well hung man". Quote
Country_Jake Posted May 7, 2002 Author Posted May 7, 2002 quote: Dont you mean "used his big balls and ran it out like a well hung man". What ever... I just mean if it's in his book then where can i get it so i can see for myself witch routs he climbed... if not I'm just assuming that he might as well have fallen on those bill balls and riped them off...

Cpt.Caveman Posted May 7, 2002 Posted May 7, 2002 Maybe Fried Bakey did not use a rope and free soloed it. Then finding it's horrible rock opted to leave it unpublished Quote
Country_Jake Posted May 7, 2002 Author Posted May 7, 2002 All you winers should come down and climb it some time if you got so much shit to spary.... Quote
sk Posted May 7, 2002 Posted May 7, 2002 quote: Originally posted by Country Jake: [ Dru do you even have any Idea where I'm talking about....[/QB] Â Dude, No one knows where you are talking about.. Thats the beauty of your position. You can B.S. and no one can realy call you on it. All I know is that every time i hike arround thinking I might want to climb something it ends up being CHOSS. Maybe you should write a guide book or SOMETHING. I can suggest an editor... Quote
Country_Jake Posted May 7, 2002 Author Posted May 7, 2002 sorry winners and its to late now but it was a joke... L Quote
Country_Jake Posted May 7, 2002 Author Posted May 7, 2002 Ok, SK since your from F@#%ing OR.... Oakridge, 2 or three miles east of oakridge on 58 look up to your left... that is heckltooth f@$%ing mountain... and just below it there sits Baby rock, if you want to check on me it is on a topo map too... there is a trail that runs around the side of the mountain and to the crag.... go up and check it out if you think you got the ovaries for it.... Quote
sk Posted May 7, 2002 Posted May 7, 2002 I just may do that... Two points  1) If there is a trail, how can you think it is a FA?  2) No Ovaries... Hysterectomy last year Quote

I can see that my assumption was ill-conceived and that there could have been a '54 Thunderbird flattened by that large, dislodged boulder. However, I am going to make a lame attempt to defray the embarassment I feel by making another ill-conceived assumption about the drink of choice of the person who so pointedly rejected my original assumption.
