billcoe Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Public attaboy for Tim Olsen. Tim got the Boners call regarding the guidebook they were doing as a fundraiser for Kevin Rausch and within 2 hours of it took down the new info he was just starting to put up on his web site that would have diminished the new Ozone guidebooks value. Moreover, and more importantly, he got behind the project and did the Topo drawings for the book, making multiple trips to get it right. Jeff Thomas said you don't get rich doing guidebooks to start with, but Tim's doing this work for free. Big kudos to Tim. Thanks from us all! If anyone is new to the area and needs a guidebook to the Portland Area, Tim's is the book. His topo of Beacon is beyond informative and well into the realm of art, a must buy so if nothing else you can frame it and hang it.

kevbone Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Definitely thumbs up for Tim. Tim and I made a few trips to ozone in the evenings (no climbing involved). We walked the base over and over to draw and take pics of all the walls; we wanted to get it super accurate. Together with our beta and his topo technology we have collectively created some of the sweetest looking topo’s around. Tim, this project would not have come to where it is today without you stepping up to the project. Thank you from all of Kevin’s friends. Quote
