112 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I am moving to Seattle starting the 18th. I am packing up my apartment right now and internet access is about to go. So, I just wanted to let everyone know, who is interested, that I am living out of the truck until the 15th and am looking for hiking/climbing partners until then. I packed up most my alpine and overnight gear, so I am mainly looking to do day trip cragging. I will be in the Hood River area starting Sunday night; I need weekday partners. Thanks. -Ken P.S. I cut the hair, if that matters to you. 509 301 5518 (my only form of communication for now)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 WTF, Ken??? You quit the Corps, or just moving to the Seattle District? And who's giving you shit about your coiffure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Dude, I'd like to climb with you again and promise to bring my rope this time. I'll call if my wife lets me go out to play. However, my hair is quite long, if that's an issue. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denalidave Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I'm looking for Beacon partner(s) Sat, prefer an early start to beat the crowds but can probably get out later as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 took my former student levi out for his first multi-pitch experience - did the corner to land of the little people, rapped down, top roped that climb to the left of jill's thrill, then took him up dod's jam's first pitch, then made the mistake of trying to get him up cruising - he couldn't do it, so i lowered off to clean the pitch, then soloed up the rest of the corner to retrieve me nalgene i left at the ledge - finished off on uprising, which is looking pretty direct on it's upper pitch now - almost aced meself cleaning a dead tree when it started to pitch off a big block think i even got some pictures of me soloing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
