skymeat

I've just begun aiding myself...Anybody climb the great white wall at flagstone? I've done the bolt ladder, but how much hooking is involved in the last pitch?

I beleive that Wolf Rock IS closed at the moment (Jan1 to Aug31)for raptor nesting. Last time I was there I saw a golden eagle right close to us, looked like he was nesting somewhere high on BaradDur. You might want to call the forest service to make sure.

My digital dosen't work when it get's a bit below zero, with NiMh, the lithiums work a little colder than that. I've never had film crack, must have been bitterly cold, but I always wear it inside my jacket.

Last time I went to Flagstone about 3 weeks ago Hydrotube had some new bolts on it, but I didn't think it was over bolted. Older bolts were replaced but I don't think that there were any more bolts than there were five years ago, though there are some loose hangers (whoever did it didn't spend the time/effort to patch the old bolt holes). As for the one on the left of it, it is pointless as well as the other bolt lines on the "beginners Slab". I'm not going to chop those bolts, unless I find myself up there in a bad mood, or am broke and need some hangers. But for the love of god if you are going to make an eye sore like the route next to Hydro or those on the north side spend the extra cash for camo bolts or the time to do it yourself.
