We call the #6 "His Hugeness"

I just ate 3 Jack in The Box Junior Bacon cheeseburgers and I think I'm going to vomit. Or shit my pants. or both.

The who question will most likely answer "why?". I got the idea that the Special Spot and Clem's Holler were more face/sport oriented. The logical conclusion when your Hilti is sitting at the belay with a half charge is to bolt some more stuff. I haven't climbed perils. I have climbed Javelin, and as discussed, it coud be easily protected with one bolt to make sure the end of the flake didn't break off. Straight street would be easily protected almost the entire way top to bottom. Maybe one or two bolts, tops.

My Fovorite Vodka: Yuri Dolgoruki Also pretty good: Russian Standard

The question is "Who?" Who is bolting these routes? I know the climbs discussed here are in the Kramar guide, but I don't have it here. I bet the folks bolting up the cracks are sport climbers that simply don't know any better.

You did it twice?

It wasn't a troll, but it did.

Bold = taking a risk with real consequence knowing you can make it. Things are within your abilities Recklessness = taking a risk with real consequence not being sure that you can make it. A safe lead fall on good gear is not a real consequence. That is life. A real consequence would be a groundfall, or bouncing off a ledge. I heard it here once: If you aren't falling, you aren't climbing hard enough.

Go get Town Crier. It's a fun climb with no real difficulties. The slot (p. 5?) can be awkward, but it's not too bad. Green Drag-on is a little trickier. The roof on P4 is a bit strenuous.

I've climbed a bit with Octavius. He's an all-right guy and a safe climber.

Wow. That is very cool and open minded.

Maybe I am. It wouldn't be the first time.

Ok, you are Chris McNamara. That's cool, but you could read the rules of the Yard Sale. No E-bay.

Sorry. I decided that I wanted to spend my time climbing, not dealing with bullshit. it's called 'delegating'... then go climbing I get my fair share in. "bullshit" occurs when more than four people get together in one place under a common banner. It can not be avoided.

Approach via Esmerelda is flat, but long. Like 12 miles long, if I remember correctly. You pretty much hang a right off the trail, go up a meadow (I'm sure there is a trail) and into the Cool-r. Long's Pass is sucky, but it's much shorter than Esmerelda. I've heard of people making the long trip along Esmerelda easier with bikes, but I don't think that is legal. I don't think the Asscadian Cool-r needs a topo. The picture in the Becky Guide will get you in the correct choss gulley, follow it to the shoulder, then take the easiest scramble to the top.

I'm not involved anymore, but I still know the folks. www.boealps.org is a cleverly hidden website that might help as well.

I'm tired and irritable. I need a fucking beer.

As would Straight Street...if I remember correctly. No. there is a splitter crack full of dirt and bushes up the middle of the lower slab. There are a couple of places cleared for holds. Up higher the crack in the dihedral peters out for about 10 feet, then comes back at fingers.

Did you pick those up at the "Super holy God North Face Doesn't sell gear!" Sale?

I would only climb once with someone who tied that monstrosity.

That is Javelin 5.10- You would need some big gear to protect that climb. There is also some stuff on Duty Dome - Straight Street and uhh.. that other 5.9 to the right of Off Duty.

I will be naked at some point next Thursday.

Yeah, wtf is up with that? Wasn't it supposed to be all crappy on sunday? Saturday we were rained out after 3 pitches. Climb 3 pitches, drink beer for 3 hours, climb 2 more pitches, dinner, sleep, climb all day Sunday.

Kevbone is kind of like a retarded puppy. I SHOULD feel bad about kicking him.
