billcoe Posted January 16, 2007 Author Posted January 16, 2007 Fuck, where did my hair go? And I'm fat. Sighhhhhhh........... Quote
pink Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 bill, where does that pitch end at (under what climb). is that under flying swallow? Quote
markd Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 bill, where does that pitch end at (under what climb). is that under flying swallow? it's just to the right of local access only. it climbs to the reasonable richard anchor. Quote
JosephH Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 It's a third way up to the same spot, but its name comes from the fact that, like in a subway, the third rail (electrified) is the rail of the three you don't want to end up on by accident... Quote
pink Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 i always thought that it would be cool to get rid of those lower slabby columns. i bet those upper pitches go all the way to the ground. Quote
JosephH Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Good one, they probably do. Maybe they should have let the railroad have a couple of more weeks before they shut them down back in the beginning... Quote
pink Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 i could use some beacon rock to landscape my yard. Quote
sweatinoutliquor Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Pro looks pretty bomber though... Quote
kevbone Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Does it have a second accent? Is it independent, or a variation? Quote
markd Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Does it have a second accent? Is it independent, or a variation? the route climbs the next weakness over (to the east) from locals access only. i believe it shares the same start (joseph?) with reasonable richard and local access only, then breaks off right to get into it. i'm not sure what that qualifies it as, however, it appears to be as independent as the previously mentioned routes. joseph: does this route have the potential to be better than the other options? if yes, would it be worth cleaning up more?

markd Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 arent leading one of the classics above joseph's new route. Quote

kevbone Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Hey.....no joking here. This is not spray. Quote
pink Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 i wasn't joking, some chick put that thing up. Quote
markd Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 thanks pink. big ledge is one of my favorite places to hang and climb from. view to the west: view to the east. i'd really like to climb flying swallow. Quote

Mark, unfortunately I don't think so - hence the name - it's interesting, but not for the purpose we both had in mind. As far as the independent line thing goes I agree with you - they all start and finish the same. Ujohn came up on the second but went a bit right and stumbled on what we assume is the pin that Jim sent me up find in the first place. It is on the next line to the right, which looks quite a bit nicer than this one, but the pin would beg the question of whether that line wasn't done some time ago as well. I suppose it could be an upward, right-traversing line, but either way it doesn't end up at the same place. I more suspect it might have been a direct start to 'Flying Circus'. Hard to say for sure... Quote
billcoe Posted January 17, 2007 Author Posted January 17, 2007 I found the pin on rap, about 8 feet-10 feet to the right, pulling clumps of moss off - it was underneath a thick 5" thick clump. Great pics Mark! Quote
