rbw1966 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 Southwest Face of the West Ridge. Second pitch was solid, first pitch was a choss-ridden horror fest. I should have taken the bail sling and biner as a sign from god and rapped off. Now I'm having to self-medicate in extremis in an effort to overcome the PTSD. Over 60m of stacked, loose rocks. Why anyone would want to climb that hunk of garbage I'll never know. I look forward to trying a winter asccent. Produce Row--I'll be there.

Winter Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 Yeah, and that was supposed to be the "highly recommended" variation according to the Thomas guide. I had a 30lb+ block bounce right over my head and another split in two, with the two death cookies shooting past on either side of me. Not fun.

willij3 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 Damn; I'd be there but i'll be on a plane on my way to red rocks. Next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 hmm MtnHigh and I were on the North Wall side earlier this year and found the stuff loose down low but not too bad. Up high was good in that open book to the top. guess I'll skip the south side of the ridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 I think all the lower pitches are loose and the rock consolidates more solidly on the upper pitches. I wonder how much elevation is lost on that shitpile every year from rocks falling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b-rock Posted October 23, 2002 Author Share Posted October 23, 2002 Well damint, we turn the clocks back on Sunday, precluding after work sessions at the Butte until next spring. So who's up for some pre-pub club climbin' tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Its damn hear a full moon out there. What were you in such a rush for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 for some reason, the "i'm out climbing" excuse doesn't work w/ my wife...vague rumors and suspicions ...actually it's getting to the point where i think she'd rather i had more of an eye for ass, as it were, than rock...that way she could compete, ya see? she's a beautiful creature though, and highly tolerant, like a cactus in bloom...she'll be along for drinks this evening shred...didyer boss ask you to smile for examination this morning?

ivan Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 brock- can't climb tonight but i'd be all about it on thursday...if yer at the pubclub (and i must add, it would be mighty odd were you not, having planned it and all) we can discuss in whispers to avoid the ears of the aforementioned wild cactus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sketchfest Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Shred, give a clue as to where this booty may be found. I'd hate to have to "sketch" all over that rock just to find this hidden treasure. Wish I could make tonights but I must be a good boy and fulfill my family obligations.

sketchfest Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I'm still trying to get my plans figured out. I was hoping to do a Smith/Washington trip this weekend, but that may be falling through, in which case local (Beacon) might be the best bet for Sat. I'd like to hit another .10a or two, just to prove to myself that the first one wasn't a fluke. Whachya got in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
