scratchandsniff Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I was out at Rocky Butte last weekend and some jackass had placed a couple of toprope bolts on the top of White Rabbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-rock Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Well here we go again. In other news the bouldering at the top of the Butte in the sun has been awesome the last few days. Bring on spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj001f Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 What's wrong with toprope bolts? They destroy the primtive untouched beauty and scenic grandeur of Rocky Butte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluck Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Yeah, you barely notice the graffiti, trash, beer cans, broken glass, and condom wrappers.... but the bolts REALLY ruin the ambiance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layton Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 TR bolts at a local crag? oh my fucking god! that is totally against the PURE style of todays hard alpine routes. go train at smith you pussie wimps and bring your skills to Rocky Butte where you can really test your metal. Wait till mark twight comes to climb there! what would he say??????? Â if i had a power drill i'd bolt the shit out of that climb just to piss you off. anyone want to lend me a drill???

Alpinfox Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Those may be some of the most chopped/replaced bolts anywhere in the PNW. I don't understand why anyone wants to chop those bolts, but if you wanna TR that route, just bring an extra rope (or a LONG piece of webbing/cordelette) and rig a toprope from the tree about 20' back from the edge.

billcoe Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 scratchandsniff=billcoe  Huh? At least you didn't insult me and accuse me of being Trask.  BTW, why do you always have the tagline "I'm a dolt"? for all your posts?  I was out there recently too. Saw putty on the top of White Rabbit where someone must have unscrewed em.  Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbw1966 Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Sketch's new sig line: "In Search of Leutholds". If sketch actually climbed he'd know that Bill and I have even climbed together. Â Catbirdseat called a dolt quite a while ago. I like the word and its fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
