She basically kicks ass, plain and simple...

Good times!!

Good times!!

that's index 5.6... bitch. big deal...that converts to 5.12+ at squamish!

incense burnin' vw-bus drivin', hand-tapin', gear rattlin' (cowbell hexes and all!), thrutchin', spewin', nature lovin', tree huggin' vegetarian-tofu-tofurkey eatin' tradster-punter....

Hippy stinky trad geek w/ polypro fuzzy knee knickers showin' under their frayed cut offs...sketchin' over that RP infested shrubby, mossy ass-groove of a "route" checkin' in at the mighty 5.6 level...

Oh yeah right...back to our regularly scheduled PRO-bolt spew! BOLTS FRICKIN' tradsters can kiss my

Best description...75 feet of pencil sharpening...stick digits in (ring, pinkie) torque, tug, scream, go home...

i worked that thing a bunch about 7 years ago...its P-A-I-N-F-U-L! Not much fun... had good linkage on a tr, but leading it would be sicko...too hard for me, just too much discomfort...

but what is the point of resting if you are on lead? might as well TR... plus then you get a sweet layback/hand jammie pitch to warm up fine! i am gonna lead it next dry weekend we have. thanks for callin me out Rudy. I said "rest" not hang!! HAHAHAHAHA... Get your on it!!!

i've never tried it...we went back and did toxic shock and even steven based on Erik's recommendations...there was a substantial queu forming up so we boogied after we were done...

Yah, but very very very well protected...Thizzis what Peter Puget was saying....that hard cracks are actually less scary than hard sport climbing...shoot, you freak out, slam a piece in and rest...

Man, i don't get you scott, that thing is waaaaaaaaaay safer than many challenging sport routes, Christ, there's gear available at any given moment on that thing...you could put 50 solid pieces in... Why would you bother w/ the top rope???

Some routes are a muthaphuckin' pain in the ass to rig a top rope...and there are many many sport routes that have some big fall potential w/ real hard climbing to get to clipping stances... I know i know i know, NOT EVERY LINE HAS TO BE CLIMBED...

Nice...fire w/ fire... But scott only goes on monday to snag stuck gear...so he wouldn't know

Damn it, pope... Now quit it! And don't go looking for those stupid richard simmons garbage pics either...

I think his pic is showing that...and newhalem is a total atrocity as far as the bolting...

well scott, you're a stud! If i was near my limit and near the ground w/ talus, and the gear opportunities were available, i'd probably have about the same amount of gear in as those bolts... Broken ankles suck

anytime you wanna come climb w/ me and show me how bold you are, i'm game...and don't play that game of going down 4 number grades from your onsight limit... Those people may be pushing their limits, no? and that's not a fist jam...

Yeah, scott, seein' as that's a FRICKEN ROAD CUT that was accessed into the cliff, you are right, those bolts are heinous... And i bet you could stuff all kinds of gadgetry back behind those loose blocks for pro! And look at all of those unhappy faces!! Such a poor use of that road cut and condemned road for recreational activity...we must condemn and abhor it till the end of time Thanks for supporting my position!!

So...tell me all about the protectable faces there...i'm listening??????????????? That crag would be tapped out at about 10 routes all checking in under .11-...fine and dandy for really good climbers that climb .12 and up...they wouldn't have any problems with the runout 5.10's at all...but let's talk about ALL of the other users there and the fun and good times that they have cuz other lines have been filled in at ALL grades w/ decent protection... And, FWIW, the hard routes (13- and up) are fairly runout w/ 25 to 40 foot fall potential common on them...

actually scott, i'm just sick of your same tired old rant...seein' as i tried to drag you up to 32 so you could see what i was talking about BEFORE you dissed the bolting done there...so now i'm just playing but i couldn't get you out there...so be it... You sound like a broken record w/ your main point being that bolting is the easy way out...Not everyone sees bolts as a hideous infestation...many see them as an opportunity to go have an enjoyable time... You won't change my mind, and i won't change yours...this thread is stupid and tired...i could probably dig up a mirror thread from last year, the year before, blah blah and it'll read the same...

you can count the number of sport climbs I have been on with two hands. so...maybe you can't judge then? that's great logic. i haven't tried heroin either. should i try that just to be sure?!? I dunno...you'd probably dig heroin, seein' as your a crack whore...or is it a crack climber???
