Cobra_Commander Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Yo idiots. Stop trying to climb here until it's legal. quoted: Hello Climbers! Many of you have been asking about the status of the Madrone Wall, and accessing the climbing area as the Parks Master Planning process is set to begin as early as July 1st. This site is still posted as "No Trespassing" by the Clackamas County Commissioners, and therefore is not open for any recreational use. The County's Parks Board has allocated $40,000 to begin the Master Planning process for this site. The Master Plan could take several months to complete as they determine what this site will require to make it an official park. Over the next several months, Clackamas County Park Staff, Engineers, and other officials will be out surveying this site for parking, new trails, other potential recreation use, and establishing property boundaries. If you are climbing out there, you may encounter Park Staff and other officials. You may be ticketed or fined for Trespassing. Please also know that residents that live along 197th across from the entrance site have complained to Clackamas County about people parking on their street and accessing the Madrone Wall site. Sincerely, Kellie Rice Access Fund Regional Coordinator- Oregon President, Madrone Wall Preservation Committee Keith Daellenbach Secretary/Treasurer, Madrone Wall Preservation Committee Quote
billcoe Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 (edited) but all the bolts are sooooo tempting.... I know, but think end game. If we can constrain and restrain ourselves we wind up with a climbing area. If the local residents see what they percieve as a train wreck heading their way and object to the commissioners, we get nothing. ps, I've been walking the walk. Kellie said not to climb there and I haven't. Recommend the same for everyone. Edited June 15, 2007 by billcoe Quote
ivan Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 the longer drive keeps me away - it'll be nice when they put in parking and that oughta please the locals doesn't appear to be any shortage of kids still screwing aroudn in there... Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted June 15, 2007 Author Posted June 15, 2007 they need to do a few napalm runs on the poison oak in my opinion Quote
ivan Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 might damage the namesake madrones though, and they are such purty trees Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted June 15, 2007 Author Posted June 15, 2007 nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure Quote
ivan Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 you can't make that kinda call - you're just a grunt Quote
elaine Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Thanks all. I know we can't reach everyone, but it helps if people stay away from the place. Believe it or not, I've NEVER climbed there! Kellie Rice Access Fund RC- Oregon Madrone Wall Preservation Committee Quote
ivan Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 the perfect place for beginners - nothing but 5.7 and below Quote
elaine Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 I think there are a couple of routes harder than 5.7!! Quote
ivan Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 I think there are a couple of routes harder than 5.7!! naw - if you wear your tinfoil hat to keep out the cia-waves then your mind can perceive the secret holds that render the steepness flacid and feeble Quote
billcoe Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 they need to do a few napalm runs on the poison oak in my opinion If you are thinking that way, just do it an do it now before it's open and a big deal. Keep it low and off the net. See the what do you think of bolts on Crack Warrior thread at Rocky Butte for instance. Some would prefer the oak. Once time, Nick Dodge brought his sprayer to hit the stuff out at Horsethief Butte. Someone disagreed and called a ranger who showed up in hot pursuit to stop the action. Pretty bizarre I thought.
