Bummer just got back from there, was a nice evening, climbed down at lower riverview, oniy ran into two people. Maybe we could hook up some time and I would be glad to show you around.

He should have said, cause he's from the east. Look at the NBA this year talking shit about the eastern teams, all the good teams were out west, if New Jersey was in the west they might of come in sixed. I don't think what he said is racist, dumb yes .

Chukar hunting, get my legs in shape.

I agree with most of the posts i've seen, the fun for me is going somewhere new and jumping on climbs to see what I think. Im old so I don't have to worry about grades, but I do like them all to be close to the same. Its all about fun for me.

I don't get how you can say its ok if its a mixed climb, but not a sport route. There still bolts,they have not changed. If its good for one it has to be good for all. So make up your mind.

Hey my frist page top

Who said the people in the story are white? Sounds like crackheads to me.

We climbed by the road cut, you can see a couple of the routes from the road, We climb one that was down by the water, there were two more routes to the left of it that I could see but you need a boat, or you have to travarse(ps) along the waterline for a ways. Well I guess we will have to just get on them and find out. I was just hoping to find out where there all at. The one climb we did had a pitch right above it , and a nice crack climb to the right of that with chains on top, will try that next time. Thanks for the info.

Went climbing at banks lk today and had a great time. We did not have a route guide, I was hoping someone would post some topos of the routes, there don't really seem to be that many. We did a couple that felt like 5.9, but one that look easy(famious last words) but kick are ass. Thanks for any help you can give.

got me, next time I'll read down a little frist, but no I had to be a horndog.

Don't say they won't hold a leader fall, I've seen them do it, on professor falls up in the great white north, 10ft fall (20 altogether) bent the screw into a big C, but the guy leading was glad it held. No I do not lead with them, I use them like everyone else. But they can work, the ones I have are at least 8 yrs old.

Hes a funny guy.

I think it depends on how long you have been climbing, I've seen some setups left that makes wonder, 4 or 5 slings 4 biners. I have no problem leaving webbing(with in reason) thats why I buy it.

Good one

You all don't know shit about movies, movies don't suck YOU do.

The anchors are three links of a chain on one side and a hanger on the other with a link, I don't think you need to drill new holes, but the hardware sucks. Its really not safe the way it is. Come climb it and check it out.

I try to use everything I take, I go lite now because I know what I need to get me thru, that takes lots of trips of too much shit, and getting rid of what I did not use. But that may not be lite to you, were all differnt.

O.K. here you go, Medicine Man at the feathers, Vantage is in need of new anchors, the ones on there are poorly done, I have fixed some of the climbs there but someone keeps taking our hardware.

THIS IS A GOOD TOPIC, MY CLIMBING PARNER DOES THE SAME(OVERCAM) AND I TEND TO TRY AND LET THE CAM OPEN A BIT(I LIKE HALF WAY). I LIKE TO USE LONG SLINGS WHICH SEEMS TO HELP.

I have never understood the point of calling yourshelf any kind or grade of climber. I look at a route that I want to do and know wheather its in my abillaity(ps) or not. Im a climber, thats it.

Well if its time to say thanks I will step up, Thanks Jon and Tim, I don't know why but It has become part of my day to day routine to visit this board. Maybe because climbing is such a big part of my life. Again Thanks.

scarecrow without a brain which would fit most of the people on this site.

Is like crack climbing, the deeper you get the better you are.
