ivan Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Trip: Menage-a-Twat - Da Turkey Monsta & Da Bridge Date: 10/11/2009 Trip Report: spent 2 nights up in the menage-a-twat wilderness w/ geoff n' kyle n' tyler n' his bud who failed to tell me his sobriquet before i was too drunk to care to remember did the monster over 2 days w/ geoff n' kyle the descent off the old overgrown road down to the monster would be hard to do correct w/o a native coolie to show you the way - actually it's not bad w/ the right beta i reckon - past the clibmers camp, just past a boggy part, a white cliff stands on left and a cairn marks the point where you give up hope and start sliding down hill thrutching at thorns n' hand-stabbies - a mountain axe is much recommended turkey cock! from here it's skiers left down steep dirt geoff on the attack, p1 - new bolts courtesy of that tyler feller, who generously removed the first fixed pin so ole boy could reaaaaach for the nut placement start of p2 - who can resist clipping the 30 year old hammered in tent-peg? this pitch is creaky scary, but if you get scared, at least you can bang out a marley-tune on the hollow rocks till ya gt centered anchor atop p2 - wingnuts, they're not just for talk-radio! not featured is tyler's new 3rd bolt and the #3 backup geoff following p2 geoff leading p3 - tyler's not quite got round to swapping out the smithsonian iron on this pitch, but his fixed rope gave you the ultimate chicken-out option, should it have been required... mank under pressure - gotta love the tinfoil hangers geoff's bro kyle, the vip 3rd member of the party and the Provider of Ultra-Light Cigarretes cannonhole just below the summit - Da Beast lurks beyond da wabbit-ears high times at turkey point - kyle refuses to make the walk of faith - late afternoon sun lights up the sky above keith (?) creek da bridge a sweet place to watch an earthquake from the delightfully simple butterfly buttress on the right geoff atop p3 - the ninja-belay bolts eluded hiim for awhile why would some silly ruffian drill 2 holes in this poor defenseless rock? fall in progress below keith's knob eat me - seriously. tyler n' company, having survived a lenghty fall w/ the help of danny devito's dong-dong life preserver, stand atop the zebra Gear Notes: for da monster, a buncha nuts and x2-3 cams from 1-4 inches for da bridge, no nuts, 1 cam each .5-2 Approach Notes: past the yarder and hordes of paunchy middle-aged men operating massive tree-destroying equipment the trail to the bridge group is currently very well flagged and cut Quote

corvallisclimb Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 heres the few pictures i took geoff leading P1 while ivan belays gettin close to the summit again ivan on top ivan taking pictures of us after the FA of the zebra Quote
geoff Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Nice. Thanks Tyler for all the good work you been doing out there. One thing to add to the TR is that one of the pitons you get to hang on for P3 has Bill Pratt engraved in it. I guess this is from the FA in 196? Seemed pretty solid.
