Why my partner wanted to do those climbs I'll never know. THEY SUCK!!!! Barbed for Your Pleasure at Kingpins. Dirty, loose and sandbag. Quote
Winter Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Chimney of Space, Mt. Washington. The 5.8 west facing moss covered chimney dripped from its walls and funneled huge death cookies right onto the belay stance - a manky death trianle backed up by another loose block. Quote

catbirdseat Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 Old friends, 5.8, Kotick Memorial Wall, Vantage. Everything loose the entire way and no decent belay anchor other than a flake to tie off on. Quote
Sabertooth Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 Any route on the central section of Middle East Wall without chains. When you top out, there are huge piles of choss everywhere. If you trigger one, it will set off an avalanche of debris, probably killing your belay partner. Quote
mvs Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 Re: old friends... Â Haha, I fell for that one! A piece of gear at 15 feet, then nuthin' the rest of the way! Â Quote

A footaball size piece of choss free fell and missed my head by about 4 inches. I didn't even hear it coming. And I don't wear a helmet at cragging areas. Quote

EWolfe Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Trask's Gully. Really Manky. Dirty and loose. Quote
