Farside Conditions

[EricN]

I am a new trad leader and looking at possibly spending some time at Farside. I've been climbing at Ozone a bit and found that many of the cracks need some serious weeding. Do I need to bring a machete to farside or will I be able to find sub 5.10 routes that are in good shape?

That's a good one. Son, you've got to keep up with and follow the development wave for good clean fun!

 

Come and listen to a story about a man named Plaid

A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,

Then one day he was shootin at some food,

And down to the ground came some rocky rude.

 

Cobbles that is, grey gold, Oregon peas.

 

Well the first thing you know ol Plaid's a drillionaire,

Kinfolk said "Plaid move away on out there"

Said "Coethedral is the place you ought to be"

So they loaded up the van and moved to the boonies.

 

Spires, that is. Swimmin holes, TV stars.

 

Well now its time to say good by to Plaid and all his kin.

And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly not droppin.

You're all invited back a gain to this locality

To have a heapin helpin of their hospitality

 

Orebilly that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off.

 

Y'all come back now, y'hear?.
