JosephH Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Haven't tried to make it up 'Lost Warriors' this year and was thinking this might be a good weekend for it. It's a pretty challenging and, though I dread the word, 'adventurous' route which departs from the top of YW's p1 and heads up and to the right passing through the biggest square roof high on the SE cornice. It clocks in a 5.10c with two single points of A0 and somewhere in 5.11 range free. I can swap or lead any or all the pitches depending on how you feel about things. Give a shout if it sounds like something you might be interested in... Quote
JosephH Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 Or maybe something more familiar - FFA > Dods > Dastardly...? Just mainly want to get some yardage in. Otherwise I'll be out there cleaning under Ground Zero if anyone's plans change... Quote
JosephH Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 I guess I'm covered for a casual 11am start, but could probably accomodate a third if you're out alone... Quote
kevbone Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Joseph....you ever tried climbing at Broughtons? Its a pretty cool place to climb. Quote
JosephH Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 Kev, yeah a few times over the years - but the sharp angular rock out there is a little short on monkey movement for my taste. It's more a case where it just shines a light on the fact I'm really not a good all-round climber in the mold of say someone like Bill or a Jim Anglin. I pretty much suck at both jamming and face climbing so tend not to shy away from Broughton. I prefer Rocky Butte close in and Beacon when I have more time. I can see how it would probably fitting your climbing needs and baby schedule pretty well however. With all you young toughs eyeball deep in diapers maybe it will even see a bit of a renasaince out there. Quote
kevbone Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I climbed on the red wall with Pink two weeks ago. First time in a couple of years.....forgot how hard and good it is..... Quote
denalidave Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I've yet to get over to Brouton or Rocky Butte but keep telling myself I need to get over and do that Gandolfs whatchamacallit. I hear it is really good over there but it's a bit of a drive for me. How did your Lost Warrior effort go anyway? Or was that you we saw on Big Ledge today? Quote
JosephH Posted October 19, 2008 Author Posted October 19, 2008 That was Jim Meyer and I up on Upper Grassy Ledges - didn't feel any LW mojo today when I got there and the sun wasn't out, we had a pretty good time all in all though. Quote
denalidave Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Yeah, quite a bit cooler yesterday compared to Friday. At least it aint raining, yet... Quote
