LUCKY Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Anyone been up the Talon,in the Tieton river area lately? I am looking for beta, is it worth the long scree approach or is it a choss pile, it looks cool from a distance but I have heard scare stories years ago about choss rock and bad anchors, I was just wondering what it was like now that Joe and Stoney have put up a couple of routes on it.

sobo Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Haven't done it, but have wanted to for a damn long time. Just can't get over the BS scree approach for a one pitch route or two. It would be a long day. I've thought about descending to it from Round Mtn instead of the hike up. Don't really know how'd that work out, though. There was a young teacher named Eric Steinhilb in Crackima that did it with a friend named Brian a couple/three years ago (2005??). Said it was mank. He used to post here as Crackimaniac or some such. Haven't seen him here in a long time. I have contact deets if you want them; they're a few years old, so don't know how that'd work out fer ya.

sobo Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 yakimuchacho This is him. He's been gone for a while. This thread was from Eric and was replied to by Joe. He gives some beta about gear to bring, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUCKY Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Thanks for the link SOBO. It sounds like some of the stories I have heard, I would like some new first hand beta...maybe with some cleaning and new hardware the easy line could be made into a classic of an awesome looking spire...just a thought I might give it a go sometime soon,I'll let you know how it goes. That is if the stories of the scree and choss doesn't scare me off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spotly Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 WTF just happened? I didn't say anything. How many times did you reread the thread before formulating this question? I read it more than a few and I'm scratching my head too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUCKY Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 My request for beta turned into a reto bolt paranoia phone call. It seems I need to be clearer and choose my words carefully Sorry for the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Ah! someone taking it off the board and goin' mobile. I see now. Sorry, I'm not getting a lot of exercise lately, so I need to jump to a conclusion every now and again to try and stay fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
