You obviously don't live with preschoolers.

I believe he still is.

What's the story on this route? A beautiful formation, hard aid, classic setting. I got spanked way low on the first pitch several years ago on a "reconnaissance". The most high tech gear I had was RP's, one of which which I resorted to try using as a bashie before turning tail. I've heard rumors of a second ascent. Anybody know anything more?

Peter, Yep, it is Stonehouse. Been to the house, but didn't get on the wall.

Rusty 1/4 inch spinner and rusty, untested 3/4 inch angle with one cracked eye at the top of the bolt ladder at Moonstone Beach, Humboldt County. Grit came out of the pin placement as I weighted it.

SummitPost has some info. There are some really nice class 3-4 ridge traverses if you don't have a partner/want to travel light. Also, there is an obvious, big wall up the Canyon Creek Lakes trail called the Blockhouse Wall (named for the large overhanging boulder near it's base that serves as a shelter) with a big corner in it that has routes, but I don't know particulars.

If the info isn't included, it couldn't hurt to politely ask (rather than make a blanket demand.) I like them with and without the knowledge.

Pressure Drop at Index. I needed skin grafts after that flail fest. Oh, and Bravo Jean Marc on the Cheeks at Index. I finished by aiding on a jammed knot to finish the thing.

ScottPee, let's please contain these types of photos to spray where they belong. Thank you. The management Oops. Sorry. That must have been my other hand.

Hook, line, and sinker.

If your destination is the pass itself: From Source Lake, head up to the Great Scott bowl. Once you enter the bowl trend hard right and traverse below Bryant Peak on the north side. Cross over the low point between Bryant and Chair, drop down heading north to meet the climbers path just below the pass. If you are heading south from the pass, this is, of course a silly way to do it. I have always wondered if you can reach it by traversing under the N face of Chair Peak. Then over the NW shoulder at it's high point and down to the pass.

A clear definition of what is to be resolved by a serious discussion is in order here. The bolt/antibolt topic is too broad. Perhaps starting with a case in point (the added bolt(s) on 10%?), discussing it reasonably, gaining some sort of consensus and then acting on it in a reasonable fashion. What is to be accomplished, how it is going to be accomplished, then do it. I agree that Fern's idea about publishing an "opinion paper" first to get the views on the table is a good one. Moderators can be responsible for doing any weeding.

Add Little Si to that list.

I know what you mean... this tour was killer.

Thanks to you for what you did share.

A point to consider is that any moderating should be done with consideration for the poster being moderated. Diplomatically explaining to them (via a PM) why their post isn't appropriate and is, therefore, being removed would probably go a long way toward maintaining civility as opposed to just jerking the post without. (When appropriate, go so far as to give them the opprotunity to edit before removal?) Stepping on fragile egos breeds malcontent (as if that needed to be said.) I imagine that perhaps this is already being done by some moderators.

Yeah, I got my butt kicked. I wore my fingertips raw slapping and pawing for holds while searching fruitlessly for anything resembling a positive foothold. I don't know 5.12, so A1 works for me.

What, nobody's done this route? The thing sucks anyway; after the initial corner it's all blind reaches for crimper holds while the feet sketch on porcelin slabs.
