Terminal_Gravity Posted September 26, 2001 Share Posted September 26, 2001 In the book Kiss or Kill by Twight he mentions this song. In my alcohol impaired memory I seem to recall it. Anyone know who did it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminal_Gravity Posted September 26, 2001 Author Share Posted September 26, 2001 I will give any one from this forum that makes it out to the Wallowa Mountains to climb as much beer as they can drink (or puke-up; if thats your pleasure). I'm currently down to 84 kegs in my cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminal_Gravity Posted September 26, 2001 Author Share Posted September 26, 2001 One of Oregon's best kept secrets I guess. 60 miles south of Washington and 20 miles west of Idaho. 6 1/2 hours as the car speeds from Seattle or 5 from Portland.

Wopper Posted September 26, 2001 Share Posted September 26, 2001 It is in the northeastern corner of Oregon bordering on Idaho. About 5 years ago an old girlfriend and I spent a week backpacking through the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area. Beautiful area without crowds. They also have 84 kegs of free beer!!

Dru Posted September 26, 2001 Share Posted September 26, 2001 Or 11 hours plus from Van BC Long way to go for free beer. would have to stay and spend a weekend drinking to make it worthwhile, hmmmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted September 26, 2001 Share Posted September 26, 2001 Man you will have to tempt me with some more than that to get me to climb there! Wow I could drink myself into oblivion! Send photos of scantilly clad women with rock climbing gear on and I will be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminal_Gravity Posted September 26, 2001 Author Share Posted September 26, 2001 Dru, There are actually a few things besides the beer that might make it worthwile. There is a grade IV granite wall with only one established route on it, lots of smaller crags (mostly unclimbed),a little winter water ice, some steep alpine couliours and gobs of peaks. The beer is good. My wife drinks all she wants, then my friends and I drink all we want. I sell the rest and manage to pay rent, and buy climbing gear. The unbelievable thing is that it's all leagal-what a country! P.S. Even Bonzo is welcome Caveman, I'll see what I can do about the photos - you sicko.

wade_meyer Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 Hey dont tell people about the wallowas I still have unfinished projects there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredrogers Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 Well, some how I guess vomiting is appropriate to a thread for PiL. "This is what you want, this is what you get" is from a song called Bad Life, on the album titled "This is what you want, this is what you get" released in 1984. Thanks for taking me back, guys, Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanr Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 Doh, you let the cat out of the bag. Seems nobody outside of Oregon has ever heard of the Wallowas ('cept me). I spent about a week backpacking there in '99, had a great time. Scrambled up Matterhorn and Eagle Cap. Ever venture east to the Seven Devils in Idaho? I've been looking at that area for a while now, haven't made it there yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wade_meyer Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 where exactly east of the seven devils? there is a lot of Idaho in that direction, and lots of granite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanr Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 I meant east of the Wallowas, in the Seven Devils area. I made it as far as the Oregon side of Hell's Canyon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminal_Gravity Posted September 27, 2001 Author Share Posted September 27, 2001 Sorry nolanr, I want the cat out of the bag. I think that getting some good climbers out here with aggresive agendas to put up a few routes on all of the virgin and wild rock would be a great thing. There is to much out here to have a protectionist attitude. I gaurantee that it will nevr become another Smith...the approaches are to long.

wade_meyer Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 The seven devils have a lot of potential. and I'm not sure what has or has not been done. The problem I've found is that the access road doesn't open up until late in the season and there is a lot of talus around the peaks. If anyone is interested in exploring the area I could show them around a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanr Posted September 28, 2001 Share Posted September 28, 2001 Terminal Gravity--No problem, hope you get some serious climbers to come down your way. It's not that the area is unknown, there were lots of backpackers and horse packers around while I was there. It just seems to be a fairly well kept secret w/in OR, hardly anybody I talk to in WA has ever heard of the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
