tomtom Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 Well, you guys will have plenty to get your knickers in a bunch about for the next few years since the BC gov't is blasting rock and shotcreting cliffs widening the road for the Olympics. Face it folks. The railroad asked you to stay off the tracks (for good reason) and you failed to do so. Lame. Quote
mec Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 I hear they are taking the first 20 feet or so off of the Apron when they widen the road, that will be cool. Add some steep pitches of blasted rock to get to the base of deidre. I'm sick of that hike up. Quote
billcoe Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 It is rather ironic that after all the theoretical babble about how excessive modern bolting will reduce access due to the horrors of impact perceived by land managers, it's actually a trad climber that gets an exceptional crag ruined and obliterated for life. Never mind merely closed.... Do you want to get in the office pool on how long it take for those local boys to show up with a hydrolic rock drill and drill pockets and retrobolt the place? (check out the back of the big boulders up there for that effect). Next will come route names, bolt on sport holds and rubber ground cover to make it safe. Quote
Off_White Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 Personally, I'm hoping see it develop as a long via ferrata traverse. Quote

Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner! MisterE gets the troll of the month award, bravo To make it perfectly clear, our exclusive CC.com northern correspondent reports that the lower Malabute HAS NOT BEEN SHOTCRETED. We now return you to your regularly scheduled internet programming, the fundraising Sprayathon for Jon and Timmy's kids. Quote
Lithophiliac Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 You mean to tell me that I just spent the weekend in depression for nothing!! Don't know whether to laugh or cry. This thread sucks!! Quote
EWolfe Posted August 16, 2005 Author Posted August 16, 2005 Actually, they are talking about shotcreting the lower malamute, but it hasn't been done yet. Now, about that new Smith Rock Guide... Quote
pope Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 Actually, they are talking about shotcreting the lower malamute, but it hasn't been done yet. Now, about that new Smith Rock Guide... You jerk! I was just climbing onto a tall chair with a noose around my neck when I read that this whole thing was a hoax. Quote
