RuMR Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 (edited) well, went out that way today, did some routes, cool crag. Will return soon. Lots 'o' bolts! Â Â Â so what routes did you do??? Edited July 2, 2004 by RuMR Quote
Distel32 Posted July 2, 2004 Author Posted July 2, 2004 some long 10 and the 11 pictured. Â Kris and Joe worked the 12 thing over to the left and Joe trie the 13 Quote
forrest_m Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 (edited) wait, i thought those crags were temporarily closed while access issues get worked out? or was that just a halt on new bolts? or did that situation get resolved? not trying to bait you guys, just curious if anyone knows the lowdown. Â edited to add: i answered my own question, i guess it's just new development that's on hold. from the online guide website : Â We are now in communication with the Access Fund and the National Park Service regarding the development of a climbing use plan for the Newhalem / Diablo climbing and bouldering areas. The National Park Service is very positive about climbing recreation within the park but have asked us to halt all new route development and trail building (including bolting, cleaning, moss removal, and rock removal to clear landings) until a management plan is in place. At this point it looks very likely that the plan will allow sport climbing and bouldering development to continue. Edited July 2, 2004 by forrest_m Quote
thrutch Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 i know that everytime i drive through there i am gawking at the cliffs and wondering which one it is. there could prolly be lotsa climbing up there. Quote
ashw_justin Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 online guide website  ooooooo Fancy...  So that's maybe what, about 1.5-2 hours out of B'ham? Quote
icegirl Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 many thanks to Andrew S. and Misha M. (and those I names I can't remember) for the time and effort on those beautiful routes... Â Totally worth it if you are hard climber. Only one 5.9 last time I was out there, and they go up up up from there... Quote
Drederek Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 Am I the only one wondering why he's jugging that route? Quote
ashw_justin Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 (edited) I thought that was textbook 5.13 technique? Edited July 3, 2004 by ashw_justin Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 I thought was textbook 5.13 technique? Â No no no, ascenders are strictly big walls; trad implements. 5.13 technique is strictly stick clips! Quote
RuMR Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 I thought that was textbook 5.13 technique? for 5.8 punterz Quote
cracked Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 Hi Distel! I mean, Rudy. Â Piss off bizzatch! I swear I'm going to drag your anorexic ass out on skis one of these days. I'm sure jdog will be happy to help. Quote
ashw_justin Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 We still have yet to find a really good way to combine rock climbing and snowboarding Paul. Or at least snowboarding and ice climbing. :hint: :hint: :hint: :hint: Quote
slaphappy Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 Am I the only one wondering why he's jugging that route? Â Dude, he's tryin to get his buddy's draws back. Â Quote
PONCHO&LEFTY Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 Am I the only one wondering why he's jugging that route? NO Quote
Distel32 Posted July 3, 2004 Author Posted July 3, 2004 Am I the only one wondering why he's jugging that route? Â you are officially retarded. Â he isn't jugging the route, set up a static line because he is a professional photographer and he wanted a good angle on picures. Â his site Quote
Off_White Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 Hmmm, and is it part of your photo series "Great Climbing Photographers In Action" soon to appear as the center spread in Rock and Ice? Quote
Drederek Posted July 3, 2004 Posted July 3, 2004 Am I the only one wondering why he's jugging that route? Â you are officially retarded. Â Â Â Is that why ppl call me special? sniff sniff Quote
