olyclimber Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 Why put in any links at all? That would just direct people away from a fine, classy, aesthetic offering and onto a BBS spray fest. I think they provide links so that people can get more information. Maybe a link to the original TR here on CC.com that prompted the article is a good follow up. Notice that many of the reports in the NWMJ come from TRs here on CC.com. Quote
layton Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 What doesnt make the list: easier climbs (II or below, 5.7+ old school or below), well known classics why is that? Is it just a walk in the park now days? Are you frowned upon or less a climber if you don't FA a 5.7 or more. I don't understand why anything FA is not put up. An FA is an FA and should be fairly documented right? hmmmm? I am an id-jut...clue me in will ya. Because this is the list I made Quote
olyclimber Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 thats a hell of a list mike. is your guide in stores yet? Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I think a link to the original TR could be added without harming the look and feel of the short report, such as a small [original TR] link at the bottom of each report. The crosslinks between NWMJ and CC would be good for SEO too. Quote
tazz Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 ahhh I see...sorry. I thought it was a list you added too not just your list. I'm learning... Quote

ivan Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 didn't it take weeks to get hamilton to look like that, and even then no one got it? that's the only time since i've been living out here that i can recall it getting to look that f'n awesome. Quote
John Frieh Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 I think just like all columbia gorge climbs day and night time temps in addition to wind speed, cloud cover, and amount of precip prior to the cold snap will all determine how quickly it does or doesnt come in. It will get climbed. I think any local committed to giving it a go would be wise to recon the approach as they will most likely be doing it in the dark. I will tell you the hamilton mountain trail is not the fastest way to the base of the face Quote
JosephH Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Argh, that was one cold romp up the Corner at Beacon with ice on the slab and on the moves above the Tree Ledge and a frigid 50-60kt wind coming up and over the ridge ramp. Stopped at Rooster Rock SP to check out the waves on the way back but could hardly stand up in the parking lot. Quote
Sol Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 i'm no ice climber but I sure do get stoked when you PDXer's get the conditions to throw down in the gorge. Quote
