I thought it was a long trip from Colorado... That's cool, though. Was it a recent repeat?

Sounds like one of those "personal experiences". Think I'll give it a pass.....

Stoner.

Nod again!

Don't you mean "so-low"

Tryptophan... Tofurkey!

Mike and I were considering it, but we heard it was pretty horrorshow for .11. That must be in the single-digit repeats, no? Daler!

Nope. That's Hells Belles! Happy Turkey day, all!

So YOU are the one bolting the boulder problems!

B1, Foo.

Don't you get pumped, Shorty? 25 moves and you are only 15 feet off the ground!

Going to the g-friends family gathering . Anyone got some oxycotone to get me through?

Everything but a z-clip is runt-out to you!

You have WAAAAAAYY too much time on your hands! {RuDY!} I have to wait until 4PM unless I am playing hooky, like now... P.S. Thanks for the fodder E

STFU, Meanie! I pitched off a 5.7a- yesterday.

Oh, sure! It's got the moves but can it carry your gear to the crag for you

So much for getting one in my Xmas stocking Oh, wait! I alrady have mine! Never mind.

I can't sleep, so I will share a recent experience. I have been developing a climbing area in Washington, and I tend not to "overbolt" sport routes that i put up. I recently got an e-mail from one of the climbers in the area I am working that stated they wanted to add 20 more bolts to my routes!! I was quite upset, and told him so in no uncertain terms. The question, I guess is this: Because they are "sport routes", does that necessarily decree that all elements of risk should be removed? Many routes at this crag are (in my opinion) way over-bolted. There is no obvious ledging or obvious fall-potential, but if one is climbing 5.11, I feel that a little runout is within the parameters of ones ability! How do folks feel about this? If you can plug in a bolt every four feet, how do you decide what is acceptable? Growing up in a traditional environment, the thrill of being above your gear by a few feet increases focus, IMHO, and generally makes the climb more exciting. Just look at Red rocks or any number of overbolted crags to determine the decrease in (what I consider) sporting challenge. Discuss.

"This one time at band camp..."

A5 solo trade route, right Mikey?

Back to the nodular unit with you! He sure is a nodd duck, that Olyclimber.
