[Bolting etiquette (for solo climbing)]

I'm pondering a scenario:

You are going to start off on a solo climb up an already bolted route.

 

Question - is it acceptable to place a couple of bolts with hangers at the base of the climb a couple of feet off the ground which would end up being used EXCLUSIVELY for an upward pull?

 

Personally, I think you guys have your heads up your asses.

 

It's ok to bolt the route and have bolted anchors, but not ok to add a bottom anchor?

 

This is pure arrogance.

[whats wrong with the world?]

why do young people look at guys like colin haley and go ooh hes the next steve house?

 

Heh, that's pretty funny. Actually Steve House wishes he was as bad ass as Colin Haley. Even Chuck Norris wishes he was as bad ass as Colin. Steven Seagal, OTOH, wishes he was a young boy in a flowered print dress with a pink bow in his hair.

Hey Kevlimp,

 

 

That should keep you occupied for years.

What ever happened to "Self-Rescue"?

 

 

Didn't you call out SAR when a friend missed tea time?

 

I didn't call out SAR, I reported them overdue, with a storm coming in the next day, not that I need to defend my actions, dumbass.

 

You're sounding pretty defensive there, junior.

[WHERE IS THIS?!]

Dood, that the 'secret' crag in Renton.

Five-toed shoes are aid.

It's a pick not the whole tool so, neither.

 

Actually, the DMM Fly has a one piece pick/hammer or pick/adze.

Dude, that Avatar is just plain wrong

[Revealed for the first time...]

Why invest in these sketchy schemes when one can easily get rich in Seattle by flipping real estate.

 

Or puppies.

The correct answer is (of course)

 

Yo Mamma.

Just don't leave your damn draws up, wanker.

There's a blowjob joke in there somewhere.

How many trees have been, ahem, pruned so that folks could climb in Smoke Bluffs?

If you do go the mail order route, I've bought a ton of stuff from these guys:

 

http://www.northernmountain.com/detail/PA12045

 

Join their club and you'll get 10% off regularly priced items. If you wait around long enough, they periodically have a e-coupon for $20 off any order over $100, which would put you under the magic $100.

 

Too bad the last e-coupon just expired on Mar 31.

If we had a law against shooting other people, these sorts of things wouldn't happen.

This is an April Fool's joke, right?

There's a pretty good article on him in the April Rock and Ice.

 

Check it out.

[falling on pro to learn better placement]

Harder C-rated aid climbs make one fall on that pro fairly regularly.

Yeah, right.
