syklone Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 My name is Troy, and I have a problem. I have more ice tools than arms, and none of them have touched ice. I've kicked more gravel on belayers than ice. My crampons have balled up with mud and condoms, but never snow. The screech of crampons on rock is like a beautiful symphony to me. So with that said, I know that there are more of you like me out there. Why people have suddenly abandoned the DT night thing escapes me. Just because John doesn't want to be the ringleader, doesn't mean that people can't get together for a little DT action now and then here in Portland. So this is my feable attempt at restarting things a bit. I'll be out on Thursday afternoon, rain or shine, around 2ish, and can stay until 5:30 or so. I have a beater rope, tools and 'pons you can borrow, and know where the routes are. Anyone who can belay is welcome. Any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scheissami Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I'd be down unless there's exceptional new snow to ski on. I'll get back to you once I'm sure.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephH Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 "Dry tooling" - eewwwwhhhh, could be I'm old school, but I don't like even the sound of that. Man, that's just plain unnatural. Do you dip you pick too. Maybe a pub crawl is in order - got to have some sort of lubrication... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbsmooth Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I'd meet up sometime, though I can't make it Thursday. Let me know next time you go if you are looking for partners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syklone Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 I'll be out around 2. Black Audi A4. If you don't know where the routes at Rocky are, consult the previous PDX dry tool thread, John explains it much better than I do. If no one shows, I'll just TR solo for a few hours.

syklone Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Good times today with Chad. The rock was nice and plastic, nothing rotten, and no dinner plating. Next time we'll make it a little later in the day for those who have to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
