ivan Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 As of this morning the climber trail to the south side is closed. why? Quote
kevbone Posted July 25, 2011 Author Posted July 25, 2011 Who knows. Kenny called me while standing in front the closed sign a couple of hours ago. Quote
JosephH Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 The trail was surveyed this morning, and then reopened. Quote
Plaidman Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Confirmed re-opening with ranger at 10:30 am this morning. Quote
stevetimetravlr Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Is the rock wet or is it raining down there? Worth a trip to climb or looking gloomy? Quote
ivan Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 The trail was surveyed this morning, and then reopened. they had to close the trail to count slugs? Quote

Lucky Larry Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 Young Peregrines, Hawks and especially the Ravens, in the years they nest on the East Face, are all a loud full-on party riot with endless antics, intra- and inter-species chases, fights, thefts, and squawks and it isn't about us. your darn right it isn't about us ; in fact, it's just all about me..He Haw Quote
cja Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Its pretty fairly steady traffic out there since it opened. Met some folks on Snag ledge the other day. Big shoutout to CH5 and crew who were on Jills Thrill. I forgot to say nice to meet ya, so intent was I on getting out of your way. Thanks--nice to meet you Steve. Good memory--I told you CA5, but it looks like what shows is actually my initials, though my login is CA5Chris...anyway...Two different crews were there. I was just with Geoff aka Cyclewolf. Headed to Breakfast Cracks this morning to check out the cleaning up there, and get an espresso shot. Quote
ivan Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 didn't see ya bone, whazzup? no free fir sum? ripped 3 pins in a row out on pipeline headwall today and gave meself a neat rope burn over my wrist somehow Quote
kevbone Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 Got there at 2 pm and went right up YW. headed down to the ledge and hung with Jim and company. Then rapped of dutchmans and simuled the corner all the way off..... Quote
stevetimetravlr Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Hey, are you sure I don't need any gear for this pitch! Kenny gives some helpful hints. The Plaidman wonders which way is up! hey, how did this picture of Larry get in here? He almost looks like hes sport climbing....naw... Quote
Plaidman Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Steve I know which way is up. It is were the sky resides and birds fly. Beacon was such a blast yesterday. Got my wife up the corner in style. I thought she would struggle on the crux but she thought the upper part of the slab was harder. I know everytime I pull that horn on the slab I get a rush. Love that move. Quote
dougd Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Jim looks happy. What a beautiful day at the Beacon... Good to see. d Quote
kevbone Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 Heading out to Beacon now! Getting the early start. Beat the heat baby!!!!! Quote
Plaidman Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) Going out today. I'll be there late I think. It's going to be hot at Beacon for sure. I am going to try to find some shade. Edited August 21, 2011 by Plaidman Quote
stevetimetravlr Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Plaidman must be all charged up from climbing Rocketman, 10d yesterday, the guys a animal. Him and Rick climbed at Beacon in the morning, and then they climbed with me up in the boonies at Area 51 second half of the day as it is so nice and cool up there when its hot everywhere else. Quote
kevbone Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 Started up crusin at 8 am. Climbing the entire ridge and got back to the car at 10 am and back to the house at 11. Beat the heat baby.....although it did a little warm towards the end. Super fun. Took my 14 year old nephew up the corner. He has never climbed before. He did great! Quote
stevetimetravlr Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 What a great experience for a 14 year old. Quote
Plaidman Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) It was a nice relaxing day. Jim and I got on the corner and hung out on the ledges. There was shade to be found and we had an awesome afternoon. I love climbing at Beacon with good friends. Topped out and walked down the trail in the early evening. What a treat.
