actually, corvallisclimber (who you've praised and donated gear to, as generously you have to me as well) did just that w/ the jim anglin memorial route on the plw (though he didnt' leave fixed pins b/c waht fool would consider repeating it)! and before you talk shit about his route i'd highly recommend going and looking at that wonderful thing before you threw it on the bonfire as well) i bet corallisclimber would disagree with this, this is just a hunch. i don't know the guy at all but my inner pink says

It's called disagreeing. Grow up.

your talking about crap u know nothing about, well i know at least 3 people in that pic that really don't care for you

Smith is a sport climbing area and has been equipped as such. Beacon isn't and I do what I can to try and keep it that way. The Valley dos have all sorts of routes as you describe, but put up awhile ago. Are you trying to claim that if you tried to put up a route with a topo like that today at Smith (say on PLW), Index, the Valley, the Diamond, Eldo, or Cannon it wouldn't be met with howls of derision. Really? totally, and i heard you can get the hardware at feathered friends

there was no vision here kevin, the first pitch is an established TR. the second and third pitches have been done other than ivan putting his twist on them. that leaves 3 pitches of whatever you want to call what ivan did. you were bagging on ivan at the beginning of this thread, i guess ur post is worth another 3 pages though

yup, it's jut like all the other bolt ladders out at beacon

like ivan could possibly keep his mouth shut, like you could possibly keep ur mouth shut please lord, don't let this thread ever end http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1003926/1

well in a sense you have sorta domesticated the north face of beacon

proud how about the first bolt onthe second pitch?

we're not all clapping funts! no ur just a TARD

You don't think its R rated in a few places? Kenny broke his tailbone on it, remember? Especially since the route is usually only climbed in winter in the cold, rain, and wind. It is a area different then the rest of Beacon and demands different tactics. How can you bitch about a 6 pitch summit route that starts from the parking lot and basically takes 2 winter days to finish and even has a bivy ledge half way to boot. Of course, Im not talking of a day like today bluebird, but more like what it was last Saturday and what it will be like this coming Saturday. If you try it, you'll like it. Its a big endeavour. so the north face is closed in the summertime???? why???

isn't this kinda like watching TV?

another entry in the vaunted "all taint, all the time" climbing photo award i asked mr. howdy if you over bolt, and he said

Oh, do tell - if there is more to 'the story' that makes the topo and fixed pro count somehow not discussion-worthy I'd sure love to hear exactly what that is. yeah, in bill we trust

FIXED

notice any similarities? anyone buellar, buellar, buellar hate to break your heart pink, but those 2 pics ain't the same climb in your pic, joe's up and right of where i am in my pic - where i am in my pic is where i was when cleaning and trying to go in joe's direction, which i abandoned after it looked like i'd need bolts, which i wanted to put off as long as possible instead, my pitch traveres strait left - that pic shows the area kenny fell as well... you don't have the mental capacity or the tits to break my heart son :)that's not what i was getting at, i was referring to the general area. i know that lower wall well, i've top roped all the possibilities. that's the first pitch of smoke signals. the anchor above it is just to left of yours.

[after climbing the totem] Ben Bowman: Wanna Beer? Jonathan Hemlock: You gonna call room service? Ben Bowman: We got beer. Jonathan Hemlock: If you hauled beer up this rock you're insane! Ben Bowman: I may be insane, but I'm not stupid. I didn't carry it, You did! It's in your pack. Jonathan Hemlock: Christ, I outha throw you off this pillar! Besides, It's warm. Ben Bowman: Sorry, just knew you'd draw the line at haulin' ice.

[Hemlock saves Meier from falling off the mountain] Anderl Meier: You're very good. I have really enjoyed climbing with you. Dr. Jonathan Hemlock: We'll make it. Anderl Meier: I don't think so. But we shall continue with style.

Mountains are not stadiums where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, they are the cathedrals where I practice my religion...I go to them as humans go to worship. From their lofty summits I view my past, dream of the future and, with an unusual acuity, am allowed to experience the present moment...my vision cleared, my strength renewed. In the mountains I celebrate creation. On each journey I am reborn" - Anatoli Boukreev

Yvon Chouinard "You get to be conquistadors of the useless. You climb to the summit and there is nothing there. You could hike to the top from another direction. It's how you get there that is the important part."
