I didn't know Bolivar was the name of a peak in Oregon. It is also the name of the highest peak in Venezuela and Colombia.
PS, the country Colombia is always spelled without the "u". There is a "u" in British Columbia, and district of Columbia, but in Spanish it is always spelled with an "o". You may want to change it on the page.
Nice page Tom - great idea! You might want to check out all the references to the Wild Rogue Wilderness, however. At least some of the time it got fat-fingered to Rouge. :-)
Thanks Brian. One good thing about living down here is that I do get to check out some new areas close by. I saw that you mentioned Humbug, that is one that I have wanted to do for a while........not sure why. Do you know about the Callahans (rock climbing area) about 15 miles west of Roseburg?
Very cool area. I've been out there 2 times in the last couple of weeks after work. We took gear the first time but didn't have enough daylight, so we just played around on the rocks. The second time we just scrambled up some low 5th class routes without protection, scary, not the smartest thing I have done. Got pretty banged and scratched up last night on a nice little fall on some wet slippery rock! Made it to the top though! Highly recomended if you are into rock climbing, there are many, many routes on many different outcrops, and a really nice little trail system. I was thinking about putting up a page on SP, but I don't really climb, so I would need some other people to add routes. We'll probably go there next week, I'll take my camera so I can submit a page.
Thanks Dean, I figured it was a worthy HP worth adding to the Related Mountains list. Nice area when the weather is good, to bad you didn't have any views, but that's the way the game goes.
Hey Tom, Curry County has a neat little peak (not much of one) that is the cohp. Brandy Peak. Bob and I did that one in the rain too. If you get up that way, it'd be interesting to see some pics of the scenery from that one. Also interesting is the "Shoe Tree" that is a few miles down the road to the east.
I was planning on driving down after work to do Brandy when the days get longer. I picked off Washington, Columbia, and Tillamook counties a few weeks ago. Lots of new snow on Saddle Mtn, and Rogers Peak.
Thanks for the vote. Hanging rock is very cool. I'm not sure about climbing on it, but some rednecks we met up there were talking about rapping off of it into the canyon below, but who knows.

Untitled CommentThanks Bob.
I wish I had a good excuse other than the fact I'm a careless speller! Thanks for catching it.
Very nice place when the weather is nice.........like this past winter ;-)
