Peter_Puget Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 What’s the new route story this year? Record weather and aside from a couple alpine routes not much is new. I have heard of only a few new rock routes; however, about a million new ones should have been put up this summer. Where are they? Maybe if there was a New R…….

Peter_Puget Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 So true...bouldering is the scene these days in fact I heard 20 people were at Zeke's a couple weeks ago. I need to check it out despite that fact that I probably could climb even a V1. With the new guide this has been a Leavenworth year for me I have even bouldered there a few times..the horror!

Up from the snowpatch at the base of the face to the base of the anrgy-looking dihedral just left of the crest of the buttress in the grey rock. Take a bulldog and a broom But I did send the ridge crest on the main peak last month with Steve Harng. 6 pitches, 5.8 Pretty good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwalling Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 That thing sucks for cutting trees! A better saw would be one with larger teeth. It will save you time and energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEEP! Wrong-o there lummox, never done it have you? 5 piece bolts are not "easily" removeable. The tip/wedge remains in the hole and is every bit as difficult to remove as a standard wedge anchor. You can drill through it but it sucks. Removal of wedge anchors is not that difficult. It's better just to drill a new hole a few inches away and patch the old one with epoxy and dust. It does not take much skill to seal them off and make them invisible. 5-piece bolts do hold far better in soft rock, more surface contact. * An extra $0.15? Try closer to an exra $1.25 each.
