el jefe Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 i can almost imagine that there is a rock somewhere under all that moss.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Poulton Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Do you clean it first or take it RAW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checat Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Both, depends on the situ. Obviously loose rock is a whole lot more reason to cleaning before jumping on lead than a little bit of moss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Great timing as they're running a special on cans of Moss-B-Gone right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtveld Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I wonder how much progress those OSU ag chemists at are making toward developing Moss-Sta-Gone, the product you really need. Good topic, Checat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denalidave Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) Great timing as they're running a special on cans of Moss-B-Gone right now! Don't you use the other product they make Choss-B-Gone? Judging from your pics on the other thread, Billcoe, looks like your gonna need a few more tanker trucks of the stuff at your secret crag... Just sayin. BTW, Billcoe, I stumbled upon said secret crag not to long ago whilst poaching some rocks for my yard. I think its safe to say, your secret is pretty secure.

Checat Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 The above photo is not of a secret place. It is of a well established area that has had hectic weekends in the last couple years. There are boulder problems on the boulder that I'm standing on for this photo that were established in the mid to late 90's. I've climbed on the problems below this small cliffband a number of times between 2001 and 2005. I'm only heading there now and taking up a crowbar cause of a new baby, and its proximity to mi casa (oh yeah and 5 years of new routing at a trad area has me still on the roped development kick). 36 minutes from my doorway, new 5.9 in a really established hard bouldering area. You guys want some moss be gone... check this before and after shot. Its not nearly as compelling as those folks whitewashing the Dropzone. I only spent 45 seconds pulling the bottom feet and first finger jam clean of this little V0. 10 minutes and multiple problems in store though? Not too shabby after for an after work circuit.

beaconben Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) dude, you are going to piss off friends of the gorge with before and afters like that. Edited April 8, 2010 by beaconben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I think that's that public park in Lake Oswego Ben. They want it clean so they don't lose any more children in there. Erie resemblance to this though: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephH Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 That moss-job revealed quite the pair of butt cheeks. I suspect the moss down your way will survive regardless and it's really a small affair compared to the terraforming we employ up here.

JosephH Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I'm sorry, did someone mention birds in this conversation or are you just riffing out your ass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
