Teh Phuzzy Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I have seen a few bears in my time at Beacon. It has been a while....then again, it has been a while since I spent any real time there. Looks like I will be out there tomorrow and not Sunday....anyone else coming out? i'm meeting kenny out there in the morning - don't know what the hell we're doing yet though... I am planning on getting to the base sometime around 7 am. I have to be back by 2 so the early bird gets the worm. My ride and climbing partner for the Olympics this weekend has pretty much bailed and I don't plan to waste this beautiful weather. I'll throw in gas money for a ride out there from North Portland.

denalidave Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 here's a first for me from y-day: saw a tree squirrel leap off that big tree half way up wrong gull, then proceed to free solo up the vertical crack, jamming and liebacking on the knifeblade crack for 10 feet before boldy launching onto the face up to where all the blackberries used to be no clue what his exit strategy was, but i'm pretty sure the l'il feller ended up alright Yum, bacon squirrel on a stick clip. I sure miss the temple of bacon. Hopefully gonna get a week at home soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Almost a month with no posts. Wow. it's been raaaaainy. drove out from camas yesterday through a gentle drizzle, seriously questioning my free-solo plan, but arrived to a dry lot - dashed down to the base and hustled up the corner, not a breath of wind or another person to be seen, just the sounds of me huff'n'puff'n - 15 minutes later i was up at the trail, admiring the huge elk herd, when the downpour hit the icing on the cake was scaring the crap out of the old folks hobbling down from the summit, who didn't understand how i'd managed to get behind them since they'd had the top to themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevetimetravlr Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 That must have been around 1 oclock when the rain hit. Was going to climb there yesterday but we ended up at OH8 climbing in the sunshine and t-shirts instead. But still good on ya Ivan for getting after it! You should have called me and joined us at the crag dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teh Phuzzy Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 My partner backed out on doing the corner with me tomorrow. Any of you folks heading out there Friday, the 11th? He was my ride as well so I need transport; I'll throw in some green/gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denalidave Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I might be out but already live out that way. Hit me up here in the am. Jim O might be headed back out. Or maybe Larry. AKA Old Larry/Lucky Larry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevetimetravlr Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hey Denali Dave, sorry we never caught up to ya yesterday. Would have been nice to hear your stories!

That was good times. Thank you Andrew (Pink) for putting them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevetimetravlr Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 ALERT! There is a large detached hanging rock, (100 lbs?), on the 3rd pitch of the SE Corner route on Beacon Rock. It is located as you near the topout to the left of the perfect little mini dihedral where there is a sandy ledge on the right at the top of the dihedral. The block is the lowest of 3 stacked blocks and has nothing under it to hold it in place. I stepped on it, and felt it move, so climbed down and looked at it, and it has detached about 1/4 inch or so, and the moss and lichen pulled away. It is just suspended there. So it could go with the next person to step on it, or it might take a crowbar but I doubt it. when it goes, if on lead, its a rope chopper, and right in line to take out the belayer on Tree ledge. Maybe next person take some white paint up and put a large "X" on it, until it can be dealt with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
