Bob and I were leaving Beacon and we went by this police shooting range a mile down the road. Bob pulled over and absolutely demanded that I throw their "Police in Training" sign in the back of his truck. Reluctantly I did and we peeled back towards Beacon. Crazy Bob was going to bolt it to the rock as we were in a bolting controversy at the time. He would have done it unless the SWAT team van pulled us over in full Rambo fashion.
Oh, I got Beacon stories..
Bob and I were scrubbing a new rout above tree ledge in the hot sun. I had left a piece of shrimp pizza out in the sun. I thought it had gone bad, so I chucked it. After we each led the route we rapped and this angry guy came up to us with a red triangle on his shoulder.
We all have stories, but for some reason Beacon draws out some great ones. I started writing a few on another thread and I thought it should have its own thread. I will write a few more later but I would like to hear some of yours, Wayne
We should start a Beacon stories thread. Heres another.
After rapping the first 2 pitches of Pacific Rim. I walked up into the cave to do a king swing. I did a tame one to start It went way the hell out!Very freaky. Tim got Psyched watching me and went all the way up into the cave for a major launch. I am sure there was no way he thought he would have collided with the tree 100 feet or more out there. It was amazing watching him try to flail a different course once he realized he was going to do some branch trimming. > he came back bloody and pissed at me for laughing so hard.
I have a few more really good ones and we realy should do this thread. It doesnt fit here
Another story, Bob and I were leaving Beacon and we went by this police shooting range a mile down the road. Bob pulled over and absolutely demanded that I throw their "Police in Training" sign in the back of his truck. Reluctantly I did and we peeled back towards Beacon. Crazy Bob was going to bolt it to the rock as we were in a bolting controversy at the time. He would have done it unless the SWAT team van pulled us over in full Rambo fashion.

I have a great Beacon story. Bob and I were scrubbing a new rout above tree ledge in the hot sun. I had left a piece of shrimp pizza out in the sun. I thought it had gone bad, so I chucked it. After we each led the route we rapped and this angry guy came up to us with a red triangle on his shoulder.

Dont worry, There is is this great Movie out called Bee-Movie. It will preserve the memory of the bee forever. We will always have food, just go through the drive through!
Your signature is starting to fit?
Hereis another whine: Climbing at a high level, it is not easy to find fitting partners. Why do you think I go solo at times? You gonna go do a big new scare route with me?
"Mike is so pissed by "cheers" he may leave town over it."
I tried to warn you guys, you had your chance to talk him out of it. Now, I am losing my best partner, a great friend and neighbor, and my doctor.
I cant seem to do a decent search here at the site. Is it me ?
What are some tips to find a specific thread, or mountain?
Mods should move this to "CC News"forum if it is productive.
If you ask me, Yes it is. The Davis ramp starts up the large right hand gully and then heads left up a moderate and hidden ramp. grade II-5.6-WI3. 3 pitches.
