LUCKY

7 bolts ring anchors, the rating may be in question, but the name is not. I only have 24 volts and yours is soo much bigger, I feel so puny LUCKY

Dude he is sooo old he puffs dust when he farts! Climbed like pre historic, like in before the dinosaurs

Fixed the error in the grade for you. WTF, I figured at least someone would red point it before they down rated it, dude you so bypassed the crux! Did you pull off of the dime edge to the mono doit than pull the mono down below your chest dead point for the nipple crimp than dyno to the round sloper up and left of the anchors? I,m soo going to have fun with this, BTW the route is real. LUCKY

Crotchety old men 5.12-B, exit 38, write off rock, right of knife in the toaster, named after the two old and crotchety infamous hardmen in their own minds internet sprayers RainDawg and the Pope Also new at nevermind are new $$ sport anchors at the top of Big Mama, now just clip and lower, the bad spinner second bolt of Love bucket has also been replaced Stack the odds climb safe LUCKY

I agree with this part... I decidely don't agree with this part, however. AS Bill would say here's your sign or as Carlos would say dee da dee :lmao:over 2000 posts after 8/04 LUCKY

A masons hammer with the cutting edge horizontal to the handle can pry or break most bad rock, it can also be used for bolt hammer, I also use a 2 feet crow bar with the bent end heated and pried to 90 degrees for better prying of rock, A Wisk broom for sweeping or in extreme cases a leaf blower, a wire brush for extreme moss. Sand paper (carbide sanding disc like for a grinder) for those razor edges to keep from getting sliced in a fall or cutting your rope. A route is only as good as the climber putting it up, take your time and make it safe enjoyable and classic

Yo billcoe looks one of those mom’s look’n for her tennis shoes could be your next VP :lmao:LUCKY I actually like it when the two sides are equally divided it keeps the left from being too far left and right from being too far right…I mean who would want some dinosaur sausage fest dude like fairyweather to get elected :wave:LUCKY

I am old, ask around, lean 160lb my girlfriend climbs 5.11 and weights 125lb and my Harley is NO BAGGER How's that sausge fest thing going??? going climbing with the sausage fest dudes this weekend or the hotties

I actually walk the middle but if your talking liberal (freedom) vs. conservative (law and order) I probably walk a little more on the left Christine Gregoire 48% Dinno ( ) Rossi 46% 745917 votes counted Watch out sausage fest dudes …a skirt in the governor’s house BTW billcoe I got the reference to Patty Murray I just thought your sausage fest side was showing and if your so informed spell her name right. Oh yeah BTW I am a gun tote’n Harley ride’n REDNECK LUCKY

Ya got to stay open to all this stuff Lucky, or next thing ya know, some housewife is on your porch looking for her tennis shoes and asking for $10 so she can run for governator. Sounds like you don’t like women in politics …think about it, who manages the money in most households My manly hood/ego has no problem with a women governor

I just got phone solicited by Dino Rossi and I am on the do not call list… . WTF he is such an ass , with all his money (way too much to spend) coming from the BIAW (big business) not the work’n class, don’t let this buy his way into to the governorship be informed LUCKY

This weather so sucks on the west side anyone up for the coulee Thursday pt cloudy and 70 LUCKY

Say good by to ice climbing on Frenchman falls, this parcel of land includes the falls and the cliff to the left also the forgotten winter walk wall and the cube I could not find the link to this page but I had it on file.

My sweetie and I had alpine plans for Tuesday and Wednesday , with the bad weather coming in we decided to head to the coulee as many of you do when plans get canceled because of bad weather, here is what we found. The weather on Tuesday was as good as it gets, cloud cover, cool temps with a warm breeze and dry rock. We only saw a few climbers, we did see a well known ancient warrior (not that I am any spring chicken) from Eburg cranking off routes in the beautiful weather. The camping area was unusually green for this time of year, there was a little trash from the last concert at the George but nothing to speak of. Tuesday night was so beautiful, with a gorgeous sunset sky that we sat up till 12 o’clock enjoying it. I did see an aerial marker and where it was placed I take it that it is a survey for the up coming golf course/ resort across from the feathers, this parcel of land actually crosses the old Vantage highway were the marker is. Wednesday we awoke to sun and a cool breeze or high wind however you look at it, so my sweetie and I put up a route (what a beautiful day) The route is to the left of the crack called, Dakine and the sport climb called, I weighted her butt know won knew Y, it goes at 5.9 with a variation to the right that goes at 10/C It’s called “Internet Jackass” …careful what you say on the internet you might get a climb named after you. Coming soon to a crag near you a climb named after The Pope and Raindawg :wave:LUCKY

The Future move on Victim of Fate 10-D at the Power House Frenchman Coulee is the Weirdest move I ever did that was the best and easyest way through a problem. See page 133 of the new coulee guide, turned around backwards Later go'n crag'n LUCKY

Looking to take my girlfriend up for her first trip sometime midweek in the next 2 weeks Any one know if the road to the climbers bivouac is open yet? Is it possible to get a permit the day of the climb like you use to, we know all those permits are not being picked up. What happened to holding some permits for the day of the climb for climbers that are actually there to climb? Why does a walk up peak have be so difficult in paper work to climb , the new permit system sucks, I have climbed it 5 times, it was like an every year climb till that rock climbing thing kinda took over. Summit and the ape caves is a great day Any one with recent beta would be appreciated. LUCKY

Pope and Raindawg aka the Iceman The old crotchety usta climb club :lmao:you guys crack me up LUCKY

Ok I am really getting tired of my car being prowled so I bought a cheep micro cam, I could not afford a good one, and it would be just my luck the would find it and steal it. It would be cool to post a some pic's of him in the act and one of you go that's the guy that lives next door....BUSTED

At the trestle parking area on 6/28 between 11am and 6pm our car was car prowled, clothes were went trough, top left off the cooler, nothing was stolen because we did not leave any credit cards in the vehicle, the car was locked back up when we got back. Beware the credit card thieves are on the prowl again, they can't seem to leave this cash cow alone no matter how hot it is. Any of you high tec sprayers know how to set up a micro cam so we can catch them in the act, pics of the thiefs would be cool. Don’t leave credit cards in your car!!!!!

I just looked up crotchety in the dictionary ….Capriciously stubborn or eccentric; perverse just had to share that Replace Pooh-Bah with crotchety under pope's avatar, it sooo fits his personality .

Used to be able to drive my '79 civic on a "4wd" route around the gate. Thats like eco unfriendly and a good way to screw up access please don't anyone else try this BS

Although according to Magic Mike, a bolt drilled in a boulder cemented into the matrix on Battle of the Bulge once pulled out and the boulder pulled with it. That must have been in the days of old before the crag was retrofitted and you used to have to rap from the small madronas at the top of the crag. I see Mike regularly and I have not heard this story, Yoder is the one that told me there has never been a bolt failure, and he has climbed there longer and more often than anyone else. My girlfriend says your old and crotchety that means you’re like the old wanker that gets up at a meeting and before making his point he starts spray'n about what he used to do until he forgot his point :wave:LUCKY

Given some of the work you've done at your private crag, I suspect these attributes attracted you rather than "put you off". Dude that’s just rude!!!! OFF has declined putting up easy manufactured routes at his crag and it’s a freak’n quarry. He lets people come to his house to climb …just who would put themselves out like that but a very stand up guy!!! Dude your show’n your ASS!!!

I think Fossil is sedimentary tuff, that meaning a fossilized mud flow, the suspiciously tubular holds are rotted out tree limbs and natural, the rock is like poor quality concrete with jutting out holds, some are Ice burgs some are time bombs, distribute your weight like alpine climbing on choss and you’ll be fine. The bolts are wedge anchors, there has never been a bolt failure at Fossil, there are left over cold shuts because I could not get the nuts off to replace them with hangers, none are at a hard crux and they will catch you anyway. Like most climbing areas some climbs are good some are not, if it’s green that should tell you something, it’s best to take a local the first time there, the crag and the good climbing is hard to find. Beware of ticks in the spring. Ottoman Empire was striped of holds and hangers years ago by an unknown thief and has long been a henious bushwack to even get there Jens is right the potential of Fossil being one of the best crags in Washington exists, if it were not for access issues to the mile long valley and taller walls of the same stuff(tuff) The access at the end of Piessner road has been closed by the Cascadian’s religious retreat that bought the property, the 1000 road access is iffy during the week because it is one of Weyerhaeuser’s main logging roads, Fossil has become more of a weekend crag now, if you go in during the week give the logging trucks plenty of room and if the security guard talks to you be respectful, NEVER drive past the gate. BTW Fossil is CHOSS don’t go there !!!! LUCKY
