Blake Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 #4 Orange Robot Cam (#3 Camalot size)stuck behind flake at a ledge near the top of a single pitch trad line @ ERie. Location, "mid mountain." As of friday it had an oval biner with it as well. Enjoy the search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billygoat Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 The oval is mine so plz FedEx it to me upon recovery as it has sentimental value. Chharlie Fowler whipped it at me when I accused him of being a "squid" ('80s version of "gaper") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billygoat Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Clue #1" Â The Wall is Mid "Mountain" Â Clue #2: Â The wall has sport climbs on the right (one by Bryan "Dr. Ruthless" Burdo) and trad lines festooned with fixed pins, on the left.

Billygoat Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I was afraid using the word "festooned" would give it away  We saw yer car there Friday Stav, but where were you?  Let's see who else can figure it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavrogin Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 i was at friction slab right atop skyline arete. dallas kloke pulled up right after me up top. he was off to fix a bolt on powerline wall. i saw him rap down and fix it from where i was. i was surprised that no one was there, except i did hear the clanking of hexes somewhere below and to the west of me. was that y'all?

Billygoat Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Prolly was us. Not many people were there until mid afternoon.  I was showing Blake the finer points of ironmongery on some choss to the right of where we were climbing. I did have a few cowbells with me BECAUSE I THINK THEY ARE COOL!  We noticed a lot of new bolts hangers around. Cheers to Dallas and others who are taking this on  If you are reading this Dallas, I certainly would be interested in contributing some $$ to the cause.   Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 But did you get the free cam? Even with Bill's funkness device it was still a lost cause for us. Billy, I don't think that sport route is really so "ruthless" we just lack the skill to do it in style! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billygoat Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 It's not that Blake, Bryan's nickname is "Dr. Ruthless" He is a physical therapist or some such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavrogin Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 i didn't get the cam, i haven't even seen it, i just know what wall its on. Â dallas found it, but didn't get it either, he said it was really stuck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 dallas found it, but didn't get it either, he said it was really stuck! Â Makes me feel better about my own inability to retrieve it. (twice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
