pup_on_the_mountain Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I've to be in the Portland area Friday night, and for the weekend. I'd like to get out for some climbing during the day on Friday. Driving from Pullman, and can start early enough to make a full day out of it. If morning does not work, I'd like to join some of the folks going for after-work action. BTW, the lady is starting her first job in the area, and I'll be spending many weekends there. It'll be nice to meet up with the locals in the future ... Quote

Here are some possible topics: Birds, routes, poison oak, moss, which sides are open, which sides are closed, new routes, chalk, ethics, how great it is, new anchors, old anchors, parking, how to park, where to park, what route you did, what route you are thinking about, what route you saw someone climb, how many times you climbed that route, what did you see, how long you have been climbing there, good pitons, bad pitons, missing pitons, what music you listen to when you climb beacon, loose rock, bushes, why beacon is so great, etc etc Get to posting and Ill see you around!

billcoe Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 John nailed that one. Watch this sub for the original 10min indoctrination video and substitute "Daaauh Rock", Daaauh Cliff or Daaauh Beacon in your mind when you hear "Daaauh Bears" ioH_GqclagE Quote
