Radek - As a member of the First Ascent parties of both Old Man and Old Woman, I want to thank you for the page. Back in the late 50's, early 60's there were not that many climbers around Roseburg - In fact only three of us - We learned by doing it, and sticky shoes, cams, harnesses, etc, etc, were not known - I have been back many times, On these rocks and Eagle Rock, but now at 75 I am only doing 5.7 - Thanks for the pictures

Hi Gary,
An amazing tower climb in Oregon that Old Man route of yours is! Really quality climbing on very good stone - God knows most of these formations around here are falling apart it seems but this one was clean and solid. Thank YOU Sir for putting this up. Kindest regards,
Radek

Untitled CommentTHanks Jim.
It was just a sweet, sweet day of climbing!
Not a soul in sight besides us & perfect weather...and two great "mini summits".
You should check these out next time you're in S. Oregon.

I just got this book this year and plan on heading south for some of the described climbs. The area looks incredible.

It was definitely fun stuff - obscure and not a soul around AND you get to bag two fun little summits, complete with registers.
