Now that's a trail Location: Deception Crags Check out that tressle. I wonder if it's used for anything but getting to the climbs? - 105 0554 IMG
Bright and Early Location: Write Off Rock, Deception Crags Judging by the sun (and my watch) I'd say that we got here about 7. Yes, that's 7 AM. No wonder no one else is here yet. - 105 0555 IMG
The Handy, not-quite-so-accurate Guidebook Location: Write Off Rock, Deception Crags It got us to the crags and helped us find the climbs we wanted, but the drawings were distorted (or maybe we were just distorted). (Check out the name of climb #1 on the left page. It cracks me up everytime I read it.) - 105 0556 IMG

No Running in the Halls! Location: Write Off Rock, Deception Crags Abe obviously didn't heed the name of the climb, as he ran right up it. - 105 0562 IMG

Neverigine Location: Nevermind Wall, Deception Crags Drew takes on Neverigine. I wonder what where the name Neverigine came from... probably some long-forgotten inside joke that we could never hope to understand. - 105 0571 IMG

A Little Change in Elevation Location: Nevermind Wall, Deception Crags Ready to climb that mountain? ...maybe next weekend. - 105 0573 IMG

Not Just Climbers Location: the parking lot at Deception Crags It turns out that the tressle is used for all sorts of things, such as horseback riding, biking, hiking, and even riding in old country wagons. More then once a horseback rider asked us, "You actually think that's fun?!?" - 105 0576 IMG

MMMMM steak Location: Bryan's Apartment We went to Fred Meyer's and got a George Foreman grill, as Bryan had a craving for steak he could not surpress. In theory, you just stick it in there and 4 mins later, all done. Bryan has seasoned up those steaks, now they're all ready to go
