JosephH Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) Should be refreshing if there isn't too much ice... Edited December 17, 2006 by JosephH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crevasse Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 It's 29 deg. in Corvallis and supposed to get to 22 deg. tonight. Sounds c-o-l-d and icy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephH Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 I got out three times last week (Monday, Thursday, Friday). All three days were blowing east hard. It was 29 degrees on Monday, about 40 on Thursday, and back down in the 30's Friday. Snow and ice was heavy everywhere Monday but gone by the end of the week. Last Friday you knew it was going to hell in general as the wind was steady 40-50 with gusts to 60 up on the corner ridge. Yeah, it's cold but I have a pretty good system down with layering, fingerless gloves, and those air-activated heating pouches. You just have to jam and keep moving. Brisk, but I can't quite get my head around the gym while it's still open. Good for you guys getting out down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephH Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Looks to be a fairly casual no ice, light wind day - will be heading out in a bit, have to make one stop and so will be out there about noon if anyone is interested. Bring lots of layers and a hat if so and be prepared to move fast... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephH Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 Bummer news from Hood... Â Got back a bit ago and just heard. It was a zero wind day out Beacon - sunny and mid-September-like on the South face and the rock was warm. Had to shuck hat, gloves, coat, etc. and was still sweating. Anyone that can should play hooky Monday and hit it while it's like this... Â Condolences to the climber's family... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!@ur@ Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Sounds exciting, I bet i'm the only young girl on here, but my father is a climber, and I love hearing about all mountain and climbing stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephH Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 Young girl with a three-minute old, one post history.... Â I think I have to check with my Wife, a forum moderator, and a lawyer before someone my age can respond to your [troll and droll] post. But does it ever dawn on you these avatars you keep creating might actually be the real you? At the very least they authentically reflect your level of maturity if not the gender-specific anatomy of your always evident lack of courage.

JosephH Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 Frank, sent you a PM, couldn't play hooky today. But if it's anything like yesterday folks should still head out and run up the corner. Kev, it was warm rock, no wind and like great late fall climbing.
