  1. on the first ascent the ladders were longer though. the topo shows 33 bolts in total of which 30 are on the ladders. now that it is a freeclimb there are fewer bolts.. i think they only replaced one in two...
  2. "Hey, I heard boulderers do this too, only on rocks!" "Does that mean we are eXtreeeeeeeme?"
  3. but it isn't as long. you need to standardize holes per pitch.
  4. I want to know the hole count so I can compare it to a "traditional" bolted route route like the Grand Wall or the East Butt on SEWS
  5. 22 plus 15 plus 8 plus (2x7) plus 40 =99, round it off 100 bolts. yes or no? then 2-bolt anchors, let's say 21 anchors because of that bit in the middle - another 42 bolts, final total - 142.
  6. i must have been thinking of condorphlamin' addiction
  7. lets do the math! 23 pitch climb reportedly 12 bolts per pitch for 21 of the 23 pitches or something 12x23=288. let's just say 250 for simplicity's sake. time to drill one 3/8"x3" hole by hand = half an hour if your drill is sharp and your hammer is heavy time to drill with power drill = 30 seconds drill time for hand drill - 125 hours, or about two and a half weeks steady of eight hour days doing nothing but tap, tap, tap drill time for power drill (assumning extra battery packs) - 125 minutes, or about half a day including all the rapping and wrench tightening and so on! hmmm
  8. I see what you mean... nice Joffre pic jesse BTW
  9. "No bread? Why, let them eat cake, then!"
  10. You can rap bolt legally with a hand drill in wilderness.
  11. Get them transferred to DVD, not videotape.
  12. "What's the big deal? It's only compulsory military service. If you don't like it, get your rich parents to pay for a deferment!"
  13. sport climbing in a team of 4 is so efficient!
  14. "What's the big deal? It's only a yellow star. You can still leave the ghetto and walk around."
  15. The wedding dress is no longer on eBay but the story is here: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2001915316_brodeur29m.html I wouldn't be surprised if there was more than some fiction in this pen selling dude's story too. Seems like a copycat to me.
  16. No, Reinhold was more like "If you aren't suffering frostbite amputations and falling off your castle, you aren't trying, ja, punter!"
  17. dang i thought this was gonna be the wedding dress one again.
  18. "If you aren't falling you aren't trying" - who said it?

  20. yup. But accordng to some extreme Protestants, the Pope is a Satanist! Baby Jesus got playa hatas.

  23. I have heard that the Louis Farrakhan "Nation of Islam" Muslims, are not considered proper Muslims by the Sunnis and Shiities and whatever.

    Half ton!

    that's right - they refer to the weight of the truckdrivers' beltbuckle
  25. Also, if you replace "off-road vehicle groups" with "WCC" and "ORV users" with "sport climbers" in the last sentence- would that be accurate?
