| alpinedon | Peregrine Traverse #2  Date Climbed: Sep 9, 2009 | |
| Second ascent of the Peregrine Traverse for me, first time for Bobbie, Sean and David. Only the third time rock climbing for Sean. Took us about four and a half hours, not too bad for two rope teams. Nice day, a little hot but better than last years climb. | |

| Some cragging in September 2003 with Mark and Natasha while scouting the Peregrine Traverse. Want to get back and do that route someday soon! Great area of Oregon! | |

| Terrific route! Definitely worth the hike in. I'll call our climb a "success" since we got to the register, but we bypassed the chimney pitch. Climbed with Ted from Grants Pass. Slower than RPC, we took a leisurely 8 hours including breaks. This is one of those routes that always seems to give you a great hold when you really need one - be patient and keep looking. Exposed virtually from the first pitch, with sustained climbing. A lot of lichen, as you'd expect in the Oregon backcountry, but not excessive. Overall the route has nice aesthetics. And ditto what M and N said about the bolts; we did need a few cams here and there, but a light rack is plenty adequate. Being the middle of August on a south-facing route, it's no surprise it got a little toasty... especially for my little piggies, encased as they were in thick black rubber. We both carried and finished 2 full liters of water. The upside is that climbing in August means Blackberry Porter is on-tap at Wild River when you get back to Grants Pass. | |

| Climbed this fun route on a perfect sunny day with Jim . The decision to change our plans from Prusik Peak in the Echantments to southern Oregon turned out to be a good one. Was surprised to see quite a few people on the same route. Ran into fellow SPers Mark and Natasha and shared the summit where we exchanged stories and beta from our summer trips. | |

| Fun climb on a great October day! Rock was surprisingly good, and there were enough bolts that hardly any gear was necessary. Definitely more exploration to be done in this area ... | |

| We first scouted/climbed at Acker Rock in September of 2003. Although we intended to climb the Peregrine Traverse route, hot temperatures and a large Access Fund party (who was rebolting the route) kept us off. Many thanks to the Access Fund for rebolting the entire route!! All the anchor stations are equipped with two new, beefy bolts. After reading Radek's posting, Mark and I decided to take advantage of the promise of dry weather down south this past weekend. We were not disappointed and we were not alone. We met two other parties that had been motivated by Radek's posting--Aaron from Ashland, Eric from Portland and Jim (jtschanz) and Haydar--both from Portland. The weather was gorgeous--mid 70's and sunny. We really enjoyed the climb--nice exposure and great views on surprisingly solid rock for Oregon. A very enjoyable day! | |

| We drove out from Portland Friday night after work. Slept in truck at TH. Hiked in at 8 on Saturday expecting a full day of climbing.......the hike in took about 1 hour, the climb took us ~3+ hours at a leisurely pace (--> 150 photos shot)...descent took another hour. We thought about doing something else on the formation but then we remembered that we had family coming to town on Sunday am....headed back to PDX instead. | |
