retired Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Just back from a fine two week trip to colorado where i capped my trip by climbing the casual (yeah right) route on the diamond with my friend Joanne. this isn't a trip report however but just some photos of living climbing history...how many years of climbing in this trio..Jorge & Joanne Urioste with Fred Beckey Was lucky enough to climb with Bob Culp one day, climbing strong at 70 and moving down trails like a teenager here are Jorge Joanne and I waiting out a storm on lumpy ridge I'm a little weak with photo posting so hope this works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevbone Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Fantastic photo's.....here is a picture of a historic Portland climbers who as been the unspoken caretaker of Beacon Rock for the last 30 years.... Â Jim Opdyke! Â Jim is 63 and still leads the South East Corner and you will find him at the crap EVERY weekend. Beacon (and the gorge) is him home.

goatboy Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 you will find him at the crap EVERY weekend. Â Somehow, this seemed like a typo which I feel the need to point out -- not exactly the sentiment which I believe you were trying to convey!!!
