Stop with the profound statements would ya? You are confusing me.

coming from you that is true considering you freely admit you go left at the bolt. a climb is contrived if you can super-easily avoid the difficulty that you hang the rating on - skipping the .10 part of p4 is so easy i imagine must folks don't even realize it could be harder Maybe, either way, going straight up over the bolt has all the excitement in it. IMO. 350 feet up with no handholds. Yikes…..super fun move. I think I have gone left 2 times in 14 years. It did take me a while to sack up and lead the 4th pitch because of that move. Good times to be had. I give that move 10.a

coming from you that is true considering you freely admit you go left at the bolt.

How many times have you been reminded to lead by example with your spelling? Teacher right?

You missing the best part of the entire 450 foot line if you skip out left IMO.

So if there is one move of 5.10a. Then it has to be rated 5.10a.....

Olsons guide has YW listed as 5.9, if that is the case then the SE corner (which is listed as 5.7) is 5.6.

Rad pictures.

That is rad.

Yeah but these people are from a fictional book. You might as well quote characters from Lord of the rings. Does that make the Egyptians the orcs? Only if they are gay.

Sweet vid.

Wow. Did somebody just get slapped?

That is like saying no trail needed to be built between the red wall and the bat wall at broughtons.

A trail needs to be built connecting the Ozone to the Drop. Problem solved. It will happen. Mark my words.

Why would we be kicking Jim in the nutz? Why is he not kicking us in the nutz for changing the name from the excepted Drop Zone to the Far Side? Jim is not the end all.

I would say most people call it The Drop Zone. To come in and change what already was, was not cool. This has nothing to do with Jim.

You mean you call it the Far Side. There are a lot of folks who did not appreciate you coming in a changing the name. Lets not forget it lay there for 20 years untouched before 2006 when the first crew (in 20 years) started cleaning and route setting. Then you and Jim showed up later and changed the name. Jim will probably state he called the the far side years ago. I suspect his memory is about as good as me climbing 5.12 these days.

Anyone heard an ETA for a 4th edition? Chad I am told end of Oct.

You added an anchor at your feet in the rocks to get from grassy ledges over to the rap anchor on the flying dutchman. What about that?

Define "originally"? Before 1995?

You mean there is no bolted anchor.
