G-spotter Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 I would support a Bacon forum if Kevboner was not allowed to post anywhere but in it. Quote
Plaidman Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 we aren't starting a forum for every dirty little rock someone spit shines. I agree....so can we have one for Beacon? You go Kevbone. Kevbone Jake has a point in that Index doesn't have it's own forum. But I don't see as much posted about Index. I looked at the list of forums and crags don't get there own forum on CC. Bummer. We do burn the space on the Rock Climbing forum. Rock on Beacon Climbers! Plaidman Quote

Pilchuck71 Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Interesting: From the forum list,Rock Climbing Forum - "Come Join Peter Puget for inspiring discussions on the joys of cragging in a spray free zone." Does this hold up? I like the idea of the past 24 minus Beacon option. Quote

kevbone Posted October 29, 2009 Author Posted October 29, 2009 I also enjoy Free for some. One of the best cracks anywhere. Quote
ivan Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 i feel like it's not appropriate for me to sprout a stiffie over this'un Quote
denalidave Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Let's give a cheer for Bluebird, too. OK, three cheers for Bluebird. Quote
LostCamKenny Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 we aren't starting a forum for every dirty little rock someone spit shines. Fine with me... spray-o-rama from here on out! Woohoo!!!! Quote
Plaidman Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 I am really liking that first pitch of Young Warriors. Got the on sight. But I don't think it counts as Jim Opdycke was telling every move from the bottom. Sure is a fun route. Plaidman Quote
denalidave Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Right Gull, Right Gull!!! Right Gull is OK, but far from my favorite. Anyone want to get out today? Blue skies and high around 60. Quote

stevetimetravlr Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 If you onsite free soloed YW, thats pretty dicey. Pulling on those scary flakes on pitch 2 would freak me with no rope, and pitch 3 and 4 and 5, fairly sustained for a onsite free solo. Very impressive. I am thinking of taking the wife up SE corner today, should be in shape, don't you think? Quote
kevbone Posted November 1, 2009 Author Posted November 1, 2009 Pitch two would be scary, but IMO not nearly as scary as soloing pitch 4. Going straight up over the crux bolt with a rope is unnerving due to the slabby nature....but with no rope....gripped. Quote
stevetimetravlr Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Very fine day at Beacon today. Not a breath of wind, great temps, and the rock was pretty dry. YW and Crusing looked wet still. SE Corner with the wife was great and did last pitch by headlamp,it gets dark at 5:30 now. Saw Jim O in the parking lot, but didn't hear anyone else on the rock after the first pitch. Quote
G-spotter Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 If an earthquake hit the Columbia, and Bacon Walk fell into the river, the amount of quality Portland climbing might decrease but the overall quality of Washington rock would probably increase somewhat... Quote
