Hanger

So Mike, where ya climbin'?

It's not just Tahquitz...it's all of the San Bernardino area...which includes tons of established (yet lesser known) climbing areas as well as tons of virgin stone. If allowed...this will spread

I couldn't pull that one off

Explosive diarrhea You won't be asked to prove it ;-)

Weeeeellll....I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok...I sleep all night and I work all day...

Silicon Challenge: 19 out of 20... You're a natural! Congratulations, you win the World Cups

"So these two are the best our country could come up with?" Not a bumper sticker yet...but I'm working on it

To think that these two are the "best" that we have as our presidential candidates...is just sad

Porch...living room...a few beers into it and they're nothing but a "low-crawl" apart! And no excuses...if you can't swing a hammer and punch keys at the same time I don't know what to tell ya! other than... I'm sooo there!

My other ride is your boyfriend (my girlfriend was ready to beat some ass)

LoL sense of humor...good thing

Google GILF's and see whatcha come up with 'If you're gonna spew...spew into this'

Ah, that would be me... So, I'm guessing you're thinking to yourselves...'if hanger is such a great guy, why isn't Bill taking him out?' Well, you see...um...it's like this...er...hmmm Hell if I know...something about ice being a pain in the ass or something along those lines. At any rate, if anyone is heading out that way and doesn't mind me tagging along...please shoot me a PM Thanks, -Robert P.S. If Eric's reading this...get done w/ your porch so we can climb!!

Holy sh*t!! Great reading Bill...IMHO, a well thoughout rap-bolt, roto-hammered route is better than POS bolts placed after the crux cuz the bolter had to use hooks on lead with a hand drill (aka J-Tree routes) I also understand the importance of keeping it clean and avoiding the cycle of grid-bolting (aka Williamson) Hey Bill, I know that you put a lot of thought into route development and have tons of experience regarding it...so I say go make the crag a better place for all of us to enjoy. -Hanger

That is I...finally made the trek to the Land of Port... I'll shoot you a PM

Yes sir...the first one made for a decent slung nut while working Jack of Heart...those kinds of placements is where my login to RC.com (hangerlessbolt) comes from. No disrespect taken...was certainly my mistake. It's always been mine (and my partner's) rule of thumb: If it's a single biner on a bolt halfway up a route A nut/cam/etc stuck alone in the middle of a route Been there for more than 48 hours All obvious signs of someone bailing...then it's booty. If it's an obvious TR/ Rap station...and the gear looks "fresh"...then it's not. Obviously someone doesn't agree with me. Exactly...my mistake being new to the area. Fool me once... No sir, I go by Hangerlessbolt...climbed Broughton Monday a.m. Including me...I prefer the USMC way of dealing with that kind of nonsense...but given there were 5 of them and only two of us (1 and a half if you really want to get an accurate idea of how willing my partner was to fight)... I don't know how many of them it would have taken to whip my ass...but I knew how many they were going to use... Thanks for the advice. -Rob

or wait until they go to grab the gear...then push them over the edge and walk away.

Hi Bill, This was this past Sunday between 11:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. We rapped in near Toothpick Wall (off a tree using webbing and biners as a TR). Having only been there a few times with ~T (who says "hi" by the way), I wasn't 100% sure where we were until we got down. From there, we worked our way over to Silver Bullet Bluff. That's where the draws from another team were stolen off the chains an hour or so earlier. The missing hangers I'm referring to are on Gunsmoke and Bite the Bullet. Having just moved up here a few months ago, I have no idea how long they've been gone. I'm considering having some signs put up, warning other climbers of the hazards and gear theft that goes on there. The folks that I spoke with had no idea. I'm very tempted to go gear thief hunting. I'll have to see if I have some time over these next few weekends. Kelly could have filed charges against those throwing rocks/ etc. (My partner and I did against some idiots who were throwing beer bottles down into Owen’s River Gorge a few years ago after we asked them to stop. At that height with the weight of the bottles and the possibility of injury or death…the charges are very serious.) Regards, Rob

Had some biners and webbing of my own snagged today (Used as a TR...walked back around to get it and it was gone) ...as well, another group of climbers had some QD's on chains yanked while they were working another route. Seems to me someone is walking along the top lurking and stealing. Keep your eyes peeled folks. (lots of hangers missing as well...bolts aren't chopped...just stripped of the hangers...what's up with that?)

/peaks around corner... stiiiiiillllll lookin'!

The fact is...first ones to the route get dibs. Hell, they can stay there all day if they want. Many areas have "classic" routes. These are NOT the routes to gang rope. I've known folks who have flown all the way across the US to climb certain routes at J-Tree in SoCal...just to find a boyscout troop sitting at the base with ropes going in every direction. I've also seen folks practicing aid on a 5 star 5.8 with several teams backed up waiting for them to finish. That's total BS in my opinion...but with that said, they were the first ones there. I still think it's bad form.

Free after 5 M-W&F...free after 1 on Thurs...also avail Tues a.m. before noon For Broughton, I'm free before noon M-W&F (means early start) -Robert

We have the Nallo3-Gt...guided out with snowshoes, ice axes, and trekking poles (total setup time, including clearing snow and stomping out a 'pad', was 5-10 minutes)...it held up with barely a rattle in 40+ mph winds. Between the Stephenson and Hilleberg, I'd go with the Hilleberg (obviously) Good luck! :-)

lol...too funny! I tend to make friends with just about everyone so it's no big to me. I'm in that "in between stage". I've been climbing far too long to be considered a "noob"...but don't climb hard enough to be considered a rockjock... Which means, I can spin my tall tales of sketchy trad leads on manky pro at Josh...none of which are over 10c...and my near sport onsites of 11d's (sandbagged or not, I didn't rate 'em) So I climb my 10's...and work my 11's...and flail on V3's...in the end, it's ALL 5.FUN (wanna talk aboubt 'clicky'...try climbing at rockcreation in LA...LOL!!)
