best of cc.com I made an amazing geologic discovery!

If you go there, expect to do lots and lots of repelling. Repel after repel after repel.

Cool, just what Oregon needed - more bad rock. Great for canyoneering types, though.

[telemarker]

I wonder if in spring run off it can be kayaked?

So I found out from an old friend that "Valhalla" has been known for some time. Maybe they didn't explore the whole thing, but he has pictures of his experience,

he writes:

"The Jonathan Korn search, 7/31/1992. We spent the night down

there in an unplanned bivouac. I got all on film."

I watched it. It was neat, but somehow I kind of figured that if you followed just about any drainage in the PNW you're going to find a lot of that kind of terrain.

 

I think it was nice for OPB to do a cool spot on it, good viewing but a little too much drama for something that looks kind of mellow if you've ever done any canyoneering.

...same spot exactly?

 

 

[Water]

nope no way. in the first picture there are 5 people and the second only 1, it must be a different spot.

[thatcher]

I can't believe I just spent an hour reading every single post in this thread. I'm so bored.

[JasonG]

The name just gets more and more fitting.

[obwan]

Oly, copy that! It's happens to all of us - getting that feeling that we are first to find a neat place, and find out not.

[telemarker]

Yeah. I'm siding with Water on this one. Definitely more people in that first pic.

[olyclimber]

If you magnify the pixels in the second pic, you'll see the other 4 in the reflection in the water.

[KirkW]

OPB hit the jackpot on this one. Hyped it up for weeks then dropped it just before a pledge drive. Smart.

 

The show seemed more like bad reality television than journalism to me but cool to know this spot is in my back yard.

 

I wonder how long until Dan Helmstadter skis it?

So she wasn't a virgin after all.

And now she's been rap bolted and filmed for TV.

In March, David Lama and Red Bull will film a naked zip line descent.

In April, Ivan will aid to the top, build a bonfire in her mouth, get busted, and the defiling will be complete.

But somehow this thread lives on!

the charges'll never stick - i rarely enter oregon w/o my lawyer close at hand and he can be a very, very crude man

[wayne]

I watched the video and found it very compelling. Thanks for seeing it through and providing the story. I'll bet there are a few of those in north cascades. I saw an impenetrable valley near mt logan that had a whole valley side fracture and slide many meters in a v shape. Pretty sure nobodies seen that valley either.

WHAT IS THE MAN/DOG SPEED RECORD FKT FOR THIS DESCENT PLEASE ADVISE

HAHA...Nice find!

[Choada_Boy]

If only the first descentionists had had the foresight to take the time and leave behind a wretched Power Dump, the climbing world would not be embroiled in this current controversy.

Did Hyperbole Canyon ever see a CC expedition led by @ivan with a flag-planting, slideshow with beers, $20 reward, etc?!?!

it's on my to-do list, though my go-to list of bastards, braggarts n' brawlers is declining at a shocking rate...
