but YWs is an exception, huh, dude?I'm personally completely against retrobolting existing lines at Beacon for any reason, but particularly to make them 'safer'.
Climbed this on Sat. Didn't notice any new bolts on the existing line.
-
Really though, no one knows what happened?
Probably 25 cars at Ozone on my way to Beacon, the most I've ever seen. On the way home it was just police, SARs, fire, ambos. I guess they booted everyone because they needed parking. They were arriving over the course of an hour or so. Emergency folks were passing us all the way to Vancouver. No practice, unless they practice with their sirens on.

Seemed like every cop and rescue professional within 20 miles was there.

Warming up.
Fully stoked.
Great start.
Wondering, how the hell did my belayer get this shot?
The move is made.

How about 1 new #6 camalot, since I do not have a #4 or #5? Don't really want to free solo the wide stuff.
Thanks

Not Beacon but

Didn't notice any blackberry bush yesterday but YW was certainly a bit more on P1 and 3 with all the gravel and dirt.
Did hear I missed a damn good dance party though. Video to be released soon

Kevin's wife Maggie is clearly a pro-boner attorney and tough enough to take on any bureaucracy.
I haven't met Kevin's wife Maggie, but I bet she's doesn't like being referred to as pro-boner. Urban Dictionary describes this as
"It's like Pro-Bono which means being, involving, or doing professional and especially legal work donated especially for the public good EXCEPT... Your donating your boner for the public good... cause.. there is no use hiding it That would just be a waste."

None of those LCK. There are probably hundreds in this area. Most are NOT in the Hike to Hot Springs book, particularly if you need a 14' Aire to get there.

Very timely response. Maybe that should be Old and Slow Larry.
While we're talking about poo, who took a dump at the base of the Liberty Crack in July 2008? The POS simply put a rock over it so every other party had to stand on the poo covered rock?

nice.

probably has nothing to do with all those cigs and boxes of wine that get crushed prior to the send.

No offense KB. I know the boys egged you on.

Bolts are bad but this sort of thing is ok?
No Geoff: bolts can be fine, smoking out of a rock pipe is fine, running around naked is fine, enjoying your life and drinking in moderation is fine too. Beer is fine, wine is fine. It's all good. Swimming naked is fine too. Ever try it? Get naked and swim over to that island after climbing at Beacon in the summer? I used to do it a lot. You can almost wade over there in August when the river drops, and its a short refreshing swim. Crap, when I was young I lived with @ 10 folks once, and we all hung out at the nude beach a lot (Sauvies). One of them was a 62 year old heavy woman. Anyone who is all uptight probably should head over there, strip it off and get over themselves. Crap, you head over to Copenhagen or and when the first suns of spring are out there's naked and half naked folks sunning all over the city in the parks. Some smokin hot women too. You dudes just need to relax a tad and lighten up on all these judgmental things you have running all inside yer minds. .
Thanks Bill. Different strokes, I get it.
I'm done with leaving the country though, well, maybe Canada, and naked beaches are pretty much off my list of shit to ever see again, if possible. I am glad you and Jim kept your shit on.
And, I'll say it right now, Ivan, I aint trying to see you naked in a river, or otherwise, or taking a crap. I'm sure in Denmark they flick po on each other and it's just great, but I have to draw the line.

That's pretty jay. Not that there is anything wrong with that. At least I know how the Bro-zone got its name.

Yea, can't remember if there are any bolts.
-
Just so I'm clear, we're talking about the place with a pot pipe drilled into the rock?

Here's a guy on some other climb.
Here's a better shot. I know they had a long night Saturday.
