Jarred_Jackman Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 If you see the sun, head to spring mountain. I was climbing there this last friday and the routes were perfect. Plenty of sun to go around and nobody there. If the sun comes out again, drop me a line. I think it'll be good climbing until we really get hit with some crazy snow. The road was completely passable as well! Where was everyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texplorer Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Why didn't I think of Spring Mountain. I was here being pissed about the weather. I hear that place is almost worth the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarred_Jackman Posted December 16, 2002 Author Share Posted December 16, 2002 It's on the way to La Grande, off of 84 I think it is. If you're ever heading that way give me a call, 541.564.2670, I'm always dying for partners out here in the climber's wasteland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbw1966 Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 You should climb with the guy. You never have to say a word which is a good thing because there isn't much of an opportunity to do so. He's like one of the malfunctioning robots on Westworld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vert Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Hermiston is a climbers waste land. However, out here in ne Oregon we hunter gathers have been harvesting new routes for three decades now. In the past nothing seemed tall enough to be worth the trip. But now that most climbers live for the "shorties" this region is bursting with activity. Problem is you have to be backcountry savvy to get the most of your experience. Understanding how to dress an elk, identify edible plants and locate shelter is definitely a must as the area is devoid of civilization and culture.
