retired Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Tyler, it was a dood from Sweet home, we used to call him the mad bolter. the santiam pinnacle used to be a hairy litle climb with about 4 quarter inchers protecting the pitch. It got retro bolted and I chopped all but the placements close to the originals. the bolts grew back and I left the area. see you tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corvallisclimb Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 Cool thanks Jim, just was wondering the ratings of the newer lines, for a small guidebook project I am working on. See ya tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbone Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Why did you go and chop them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvallisclimb Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 Because they retro-bolted a once prouder route. Did Jim not fully explain himself in his post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbone Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Sounds like "4 quarter inchers" is a poorly bolted scary route that probably does not see alot of accents, not nessesarly prouder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retired Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 If you read carefully you willnotice it says I chopped all BUT the placements close to the originals. It's coming back to me now, His name was Mark and we actually called him the bosh cowboy...this was before I owned a bosh. we're talking a 5.6 route here BTW and the originals bolts upgraded to 3/8 would have been quite adequate.
