responsibly? what happened to a climber taking responsibility for himself?? Now the fa is responsible for all dumbasses who potentially may climb it in the future?? poor reasoning...

don't think blowboarder would have to much trouble with it... and if he did, he'd downclimb and come back some other day rather than whining about it...

index... great route...with bolts or without...personally, the "spicy" version is better...

If it was over hanging I would agree. The end is about 20-25 foot of slap over an overhang. The last bolt is about 15-20 feet from the anchor and its probably a 10.a finish 10 feet above the last bolt. Ru....its a little sketchy. But doable. It has been climbed this way for years. That doesnt mean it is safe. I freak out everytime I do it. On the other hand the route is rated 11.c. and the hardest moves are lower, so one could say if you can climb 11.c you should be able to pull the 10.a runout at the end. I my opinion there is no gear on the route at the end. Why is there no bolt there? "a .10a runout on an .11c route" that is the answer to why there is no bolt... plus, why does every stinkin' route need to be sanitized??? get your shit together, and fire the thing or come back another day...plus, you can down climb or get a tr from someone... In general I agree with you R but it is the ultimate sign of being a wanker if you construct a sketchy runouts after any preinspection. At one time a friend and I decided that we'd clean each others projects so that we wouldn't have all that preinspection knowledge. As it turns out half the fun of doing new routes around here is cleaning them so that was short lived. This is fair...

no kevin, i disagree...unprotected 10- climbing on a midgrade 11 route should be considered "protected" based on the expected ability of the climber...ie. a mid 5.11 climber should be able to handle an easy 5.10 section... now, if this route was 5.10a then you'd have a point... Falling in the wrong place? Big deal...this is climbing, its dangerous, if you don't wanna accept some risk, pick a kev bolted route or take up golf...

don't know the route but a 20-25 footer at the top of most routes doesn't seem to be that big...

oh...my bad, he didn't pose for photos or film, did he??

these guys are so freakin' low to each other...

The only slight blip was the last time you got an erection! You know back in the 70's I'll take my "slight blip" beneath my flat abs, er landscape, anytime over your "valley" beneath your mountainous gut, boy, er girl!

yeah...i can just hear him right now trying to soooooound out those words!! they's kinda big, you know...

whoah...a slight blip on an otherwise flat landscape...

kevboned == flatliner

Countless ways, all context dependent. I'd say ridiculously uninformed or self-absorbed not to be able to recognize and or understnd the basic problem involved with the incident. basically, i could give a flying turd about the one rock...the point was, he risked putting himself and all other climbers on the NPS's radar and risking access to ALL rocks in the area...now, if he wanted to climb it for some THC inspired experience of monkeyfagdork ass communion with that PARTICULAR rock, then fine, go do it, keep your pie hole shut and write it down in a private journal (if you must document it for yourself)... stupid ass pr stunt if you ask me and risked a lot of access to other stuff... that particular rock, i don't care...

i wonder if those two asshats are related to the bushco clan?

HAHAHAHA...they made you drive back and THEN fired yer sorry ass!! That's some funny shit, man!

imagine the cumulative effect of both pinkeye and kevbeenbonedbypinkey would have in Idaho?? I think congress should enact legislature prohibiting the two of them from residing in close geographical proximity to each other...

whatever...real smooth move on deanpothead's part...

i broke my big toe opening the freezer...a frozen frier chicken that i hastily crammed into the fridge decided to obey newton's laws and jumped out of the freezer onto my big toe...completey busted it... man, i have never dropped that many f-bombs at once in my life! if someone had witnessed that they wouldn't have called an ambulance but rather the white van from the looney farm to come and get me...i was seriously going off...threw the damn thing across the room!!!

requoting is so played out...

BAWAHAHAHAHA

i gotta call bs on this one...an ambulance is not warranted with a foot/ankle injury unless you cut the thing off or compound fractured it... And yes, i completely exploded my foot seven years ago clibming...and yes, it hurt like hell (damn near passed out when i pulled my climbing shoe off)...but come on? Paramedics? Really???? WTF...

is that why they(wimmen) have such a knack at making my life hell??? just kidding...sort of...

hey Kev, here's an excuse for you after a "raucus evenin' w/ ol' pink"...
