Heading out there this weekend. Is it open for camping? Thanks!

Awesome guys, super great pictures. They say it all. More pics if you got them!!!!

i honestly thought he already turned 70 He turned 60 at our wedding. This April is our 10th wedding anniversary. Looking forward to celebrating his 70th. Just spoke with him the other night. He is stoked. We are camping both nights. Lets hope for good weather.

Maybe for Jims 70th....we should get all the drill available and drill a bolt line up the east face. He has always wanted that.

Go Ron Paul.......

I checked out the north side last time I was there.....lots to bolt there. Kids are old enough now....might have to come out of retirement.

Ivan. Beacon is closed. No daily blogs about your soloing......what are you to do?

I hear there is a Jim birthday party in the making. I will bring the family. Cant wait. He is turning 70. I know because my entire wedding party sang him happy birthday on my wedding. He was turning 60 then.

Beacon is about to close......and for what? Why?

Ivan. My piece was left of the small tree by 10 feet. I have been placing that piece for 15 years. I have had followers fall on it and it has always held. This particular stone is loose and needs to come off the wall. Steve tried to get it out but it would not fall. It moves at least one inch......and yes, Maggie is fine. We finished the climb. Super great day.

My wife and I went out to climb the SE corner on Sat. Super great views and lots of wind made the climbing interesting but fun. I led Cruzin and belayed her up. She has not climbed in a while and fell out of a finger jam at my second peice about 25 feet up. The directional I placed which is on the traverse on the SE corner popped out and she decked but is not hurt. I ended up rapping and releading it but when I got back there. Steve Timetraver was just coming across the travers on the first pitch and we met right at that placement. I have been putting cams there for 15 years. I have even had followers fall and it held. But today if did not and it was a close call. I showed the block to Steve as I slapped it. The entire thing moved. Its loose. He tried to trundle it later to no avail.......please be very careful to not grab it or place any gear there. We will need a crowbar to get it out. It needs a b ig X drawn on it.

Great pics...... "giant orange arrows pointing the way" Where is JH when you need him?

Is this the name of a climb? Where exactly are the new bolts. Thanks!

Best answer

Is the media liberal? Conservative? Or neither?

I got to lead the third pitch on Arent and I's ascent of the boltless warrior. It was very heady.....basically soloing. Better sack up

Interesting post.

Looks cold

Such a great TR on such a classic Beacon line. If you want a little more adventure. I recommend doing all 5 pitches sans bolts, pitons or any anchor bolts. My partner and I did this last summer and called it the Boltless Warrior. It's a little heady at times but totally doable. Super fun. Thanks for sharing.

17 pages of spray. Nice...... Go Blazers

Go Blazers

Spray rules.

OlegV is the new trask.

Pictures are worth a thousand words.

Impressive disipline, considering you lead the way with spraying about your acomplishments. AKA, trip reports. More pictures....less typing. Just my lame opinion.
