Sounded like a full rack in the index parking lot. I have yet to see someone leave a large rack they don't plan to go back and get. If you get no response here, I think you should go back and hang it up exactly where you found it. If they aren't Internet goers, they will be back for it and it wont be there. Full racks and fixed ropes should be left alone at index. Just my humble opinion. I can't help but imagine the poor owner. Best of luck finding the owner. Kind regards, Pat Sullivan

Great trip up the wall with everyone chatting and having a blast all the way up. I definetly want to thank Eric and you for the nice profile shot you took of me on Golden Road(those are always the best)!!! Dave, great job on the sending Heaven's Gate! I was very happy to see your proud work! Eric, that was an amazing onsight of the spicy pitch on Wildest Dreams. Well done my friend....well done:) All the best, Pat

Yo John, Do Cruel Shoes, Grand Wall, Roman Chimney finish. Be sure to hit the 11D roof crack variation on Roman Chimneys. Great outing. This might even be better than Freeway....surely a lot more pitches and milage.

For those prices!!! I'd rather spend a few extra dollars and get something I know to be brand new. As a general rule of thumb.... used gear, no matter how unused, sells for 33% of retail. Anyone who can afford to pay 80% of retail can afford to pay new and have the peace of mind that they will live when they fall.

There will be a celebration of Bob's life this Saturday from 1:30-4:30 at the Mountaineers in Seattle. If you knew him, feel free to come.

You're a badass John! Nice work.

Hey telemarker. If you go get this rope for me I'll give you $100. I'll chop it in half and use as two gym ropes

REEEAAALLY scrubbed and ready to go. Just be happy these climbs are getting consistant traffic. At Index, no traffic, means dirty as hell.

It's a dry spell curse. I don't think that ticks are a big deal...it's something you have to deal with. Did Mikey Shaeffer rap Technicians of the Sacred and scrub all his ticks after the impressive redpoint??? Probably not, and I don't blame him. Honestly...I'm looking forward to having such an impossible to onsight, and hard to redpoint route cleaned, ticked, and ready to go:)

All the popular moderate stuff like shirley, jap gardens, etc, get all chalked up this time of year after a long dry spell like this. Go do Swim, technicians of the sacred, bobcat cringe, clay. Guess all I'm saying is get away from the lower wall and the country, and you might get the advanture you're looking for. If you want to climb the lower wall at the end of the summer, you're going to have to deal with a lot of top rope tough guys hanging from their rope and tick tick tick. It's lame, but that's just a fact of life.

We should get rid of that stuff ASAP. Even herbicide that shit! Some people are very alergic to it and can go into Anaphylaxis shock.

Strong work Johnny boy!!!!!

We were thinking about climbing it mid-August. Can anyone tell me when the Coleman Headwall gets in good shape? Mucho thanks to everyone who reads this or posts any beta

left them at the scramble start of orbit last sat. Will pay kindly for their return. Thanks

Great TR. Moral of the story....never buy alcohol in CA. Bring a lot of it from the US.
