Matt_Anderson Posted February 9, 2002 Posted February 9, 2002 All I hear about on this board these days is snow this, ice that, for understandable reasons. Nonetheless my love is rock, I'm way to hosed at work to have the time for a trip to Smith or even Vantage and its to bad that we aren't getting any trip reports/pictures back of sunnier times and drier climbs . . . I don't have time for a whole trip report, but I thought I'd send this photo out, describe the situation and why it was beautiful and see who would return the favor . . . (this link was the best I could do - I had trouble inserting an image). My partner caught this sweet pic of me rapping off Dolomite Tower on Baring. I was passing a knot after rapping a few hundred feet down a fixed line. The last couple of hundred feet were free hanging and I'm about 40/50 feet out in space before pulling myself over to the belay and the next line. The climb was done (it was a friend's fixed line), it was one of the most enjoyable ones of my life and we were only one more rap away from a bivy. After that, a half-day descent would get us to the car and our honey's. http://community.webshots.com/scripts/editPhotos .fcgi?action=showMyPhoto&albumID=30886185&photoID=30886226&security=vwXqdjcdoY Put it in the wrong topic - whoops!

vegetablebelay Posted February 9, 2002 Posted February 9, 2002 When I click the link, it tells me there is a problem and that I'm not the owner of the album. Quote

allison Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 I could give you some nice pics of the fat sun in Bend last week, but that would just make you miserable, believe me. It was just AWFUL being down there. Quote
