Suck it Spanker smirk.gif You just don't climb there often enough to appreciate pictures with new "routes" - the UW rock is the best thing in town for climbing.

 

Edit - figure I should disclaim that they're "new" "routes" before I get hit with a shovel. Nothing is new on the rock. New for me works for me though.

Whatever the_finger.gif ; the route pics are fine, but do we really need 12 additional images of the rock?

I sent Jon a PM asking if he could imagine a more appropriate and easily set up structure for an online UW Rock guide. I agree that those UW Rock pictures are annoying when they pop up. Check out the original thread someone just posted another route using one of those annoying pics!

Oh, and it's a great place for learning how to dry-tool.

 

Plus, we've talked to the UW administrators, and they might be adding some bolts on the tall tower on the face, for lead practice, which would be pretty cool, too.

NOT EVEN REMOTELY FUNNY hellno3d.gifhellno3d.gif

And not only is the UW rock the best climbing in town, it has a plethora of new routes being developed, mainly in the V7 and up category, cuz that's really the only direction for development: harder.

 

Take a break from the political threads and post a few of 'em, homes.

Hey I'd love to display the wares, but can't, yo. Got no graphs or pics or things of that nature. Got any ideas?

Got some classics up to V9ish or so, with way harder cool projects. everything from crimp-fests to dynos, pockets to slab, to sick endurance-fests.

Not that I'd get any use out of anything even close to that hard, but - it'd be a cool addition to the site. Come one comrade - you - SC, master of the Moondance fruit.giffruit.giffruit.giffruit.giffruit.giffruit.gif

 

can't right click on one of DCramer's photos, scrounge up a computer with a basic photo-editing program and post?

 

And if you are pulling down that hard I'll pay an appearance fee equal to the cost of the latest issue of the "Socialist Worker" so I can score some beta on the stuff that's been crushing me forever.

...... We need the coach to chime in with the purple tower route............

 

RED TOWER NOW, WORM!

Word to psycho beerdrinkers with the DSB's...

Damn, speaking of buildup, you shoulda seen Coach's empty collection after he moved out of the Ravenna house he was skidding at - really impresive! bigdrink.gifbigdrink.gifbigdrink.gif

You don't realize I'm a Luddite too?

 

I tried to work your images on MS Paint, but the images were way too dark. Tried Acrobat too, but my pc's fucked; it's only working with 16 color. Acro needs 256.

 

Rainbow Coalition's pretty tough. There's a little nubbin just right of the crack that I point with my right toe. Then a slow lean out right, and grab. You can also grab a decent texture with your right hand, which helps with the setup for the reach. A proper finish is to traverse back to the start on the big low holds (3).

 

And when you're sitting there whining about that one, you can turn around and whine about the Toll. On the arete left of Spine Chopper are a string of small holds. You get 'em all, excluding the big block about 3/4 height. You don't get the arete itself for hands or feet, nor do you get rocks for feet or hooking around the corner. Finish at the notch. Perhaps Von Hayek can give you a hand?

 

Oh, and I've already got the latest issue of the Socialist Worker, since I'm the editor, but I still might give a capitalist pig some beta, since I believe it is only ignorance that drives you. hahaha.gif

if someone wants to draw out the routes on the pics, i'll put it together in an article and post a .pdf of it

Here's one on my current list. On that wall right there, climb the right side using just the edge (and texture of course), no rocks. I've made it past the first crack. I'd like to try going all the way to the apex.

One idea would just be to scan one of the original guides in - if the folks who put those together were cool with that. Since I get the impression that these guides were labors of love rather than projects undertaken to generate a profit, maybe they would be okay with that. Or maybe not. Anyone in touch with any of these guys?
