backclipped Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 free for all is the best sustained 5-8/5-9 crack climbing within 100 miles of portland. (once you're past the short sharp 10minus corner right off the ground) back in june i did the 4 pitch "the line" at lover's leap, supposedly one of the best 5-9s anywhere, and while it was stellar, i found free for all even better a few weeks later... How many miles is it from PDX to Smith? Quote
billcoe Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 How many miles is it from PDX to Smith? uhhh,...can I get back to you with this info, my mapquest is down...jus' sayin'........ Quote
pink Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Bears in Heat... hands down. no thumbs up for easier jamming.... Quote
backclipped Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 I know the one. It gets me every time. About half way up. It makes it the hardest 5.8 anywhere. Plaidman The hardest 5.8 anywhere? Riiiight. Let me guess, the opening moves on Nine Gallon makes it the hardest 5.9 anywhere, right? A grade is a grade is a grade.... Nope, I know where the hardest 5.5 in the state is....but I'm not sayin'..... I know where the "best" 5.9 is in the state, but I'm not sayin'.... Quote
pink Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 why is everything such a controversy round here... jebus frickin baby christ Quote

What? I hope your joking. Are we talking about the same Leap and the same Beacon Rock? The Leap makes Beacon Rock look like a teetering choss heap (which it is) But since were talking about it, let's put my vote on Free for Some linked into Dodd's, lot of bang for the buck. apple meet orange, orange meet apple....

justinp Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 How many miles is it from PDX to Smith? close enough to keep the majority of the rest of the good spots relatively traffic free. U going to Smith this weekend Quote
LostCamKenny Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 the complete stephenwulf? how many times have u done that route ivan? done as in aided? or a free or free attempt? What does it matter? you're there either way... Quote
LostCamKenny Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 The best climb at Beacon is at Index. if all these scientist pricks would quit fucking their lab-assistants and finally invent a teleporter i'd do a hell of a lot more climbing at index (especially if it could dump me off right at the base of the upper wall ) Outstanding response ivan!

Off_White Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Funny, a few years back I used to think the Portland crowd was a good bunch of friendly people who hung out together and had great pub clubs & other fun, unlike the more testy crew up north. Quote
ivan Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Funny, a few years back I used to think the Portland crowd was a good bunch of friendly people who hung out together and had great pub clubs & other fun, unlike the more testy crew up north. it's been years since we've been doing regular pube-clubs - kids and poverty (connection?) did it for me - fwiw, we don't usually call each other cock-smokes in the flesh Quote
JosephH Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Yeah, that old crew is either retired, moved, or ass deep in diapers. Quote
ivan Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Yeah, that old crew is either retired, moved, or ass deep in diapers. last i saw they were good n' chubby(ier) Quote

This is the web....not to be taken seriously. Quote
justinp Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Off....what Ivan said. This is the web....not to be taken seriously. Perhaps more people should realize this. If anything this site gives u some thick skin. I recently had a discussion about this with some other cc climbers.... Oh and YW is my fav, but I am a single cell organism in my evolution as it relates to climbing at Beacon and will likely have a different answer at this time next year Quote

And I agree with you, too - Warriors is the coolest Quote
denalidave Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 In by unanimous decision (insert drum roll here )... Everyone's favorite at Beacon is... the 5.8 OW start on Free for All. Followed by a close second is... Delusions of Granduer. Quote
