Folks climbing Hood next Friday might want to steer clear of the group of 11.
easy gents...Shapp's a local Oregonian who's been climbing more/longer than most here I'd wager...not trying to insult anyone but let's keep a bit of humility here.
Right, well, read the above post. Maybe with all that experience, Shapp should be leading the trip. . .
Thanks to those that have my back. Alas I am only a local OR in spirit, birth, and heritage as I live in WA now, which by the way has way better (and by that I mean way longer multipitch trad) climbing in general. I do provide route info on a fairly regular basis when asked by non-jackasses for non-internet distribution for a vast number of obscurities in Oregon and several great newer multipitch crags in WA.
Well as I said I aint part of the proposed Hood climbing group, primarily becuase I will be on a multiday raft/kayaking trip with my wife during that time period, either on the lower John Day, Wallowa/Grande Ronde, or Owyhee dependingon how the flow situation settles down by the end of next week. Also, I don't do mountaineering much anymore for a variety of reason, especially with a big group as proposed, mostly I don't particularly enjoy it anymore for personal reasons best discussed over multiple beers, and I stay focused on Multipitch trad routing and new routing.
While my post # on this forum has just increased by 200% in the last 2 days, I bid you fairwell. Lubellski - good luck and get stoked for the River of No Return in August!
