g orton Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Only 4 established routes with room for more. 10 routes of three pitch climbing 120 foot columns of the Youtlkut Pillars. Jerry Messinger at Rattlesnake's Rainy Day Cave, Rogue Quote
OldManRock Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Greg - Thanks for the memory - I also wonder why Eagle Rock has so few routes. Quote
geoff Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 Some trivia on Acker Rock. We've varified that there is a buckwheat flower variety that has only been found to occur on Acker. http://www.brit.org/fileadmin/Publications/JBotResInstTexas_3_2/639-643_Reveal_EriogonumVillosissimum_JBRIT3_2__21.pdf That's pretty cool. Great place. Quote
justinp Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Bump (This is a cool thread that is getting too far down in the list IMHO) Close-up of Lonesome Spire-Hills Creek Spires Bolt ladder runs up right arete Quote
corvallisclimb Posted March 17, 2010 Author Posted March 17, 2010 Bump cuz Mt Hood is FAHKING GEYH! Do people really give a shit about the 1,256,303 ascent of da South Side? Anyways nice one Justin, did you guys climb it? Quote
billcoe Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 The top of The Dragons Spine Pinnacle. There is a full 60 meter pitch that gets part way off the ground. Not sideways, but still about 300' off the deck on top. The top picture was taken from the tree between the 2 pinnacles, you can see the tree in the lower picture of the other side in this distance shot. The Old Witch on the left in the sunlight, The Dragons Spine on the right with belays marked with white xx's and oo's (The Old Witch summit). That's the Cathedral Formation out at Gothic Rocks area from the side. I am predicting that The Old Witch will be the most climbed Pinnacle via the currently non-existent route called Bewitched in Oregon within 3 years. Straight up the left side of the left hand pinnacle there....it's in my dreams. Oh yes, she will be mine.....[insert sick fixation picture here] Putting the rap sling on top of the Old Witch last Sept. Hey, I've got some cams left over on the rack! Big shock, esp. since the nearest crack is @ 20 miles away. The profile that shows the Witch's head. Same same but showing where the mouth is. Quote
corvallisclimb Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 Nice Eric! Where is that pinnacle in Oregon? looks sick! Way to finally finish her eh? Now I can have a crack? Quote
ivan Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 it counts if you can SEE oregon, right? still a little tiny bit to work out (the dashed line) but when i get back from cali next week i'll get'er done n' would enjoy having your august opinion on it - a hard man such as yourself will no doubt be non-plussed (5.7 c2?), but i imagine you'll have a good time anyhow - it makes for a good full day at least, w/ ample groovy places to stop n' smell the flowers looks pinnaclely, don't it?
