Fence_Sitter Posted November 1, 2002 Author Posted November 1, 2002 fern...i was talking about erik et all...thanks for your reply... Quote
freeclimb9 Posted November 1, 2002 Posted November 1, 2002 Definitely say "fuck it and climb there". And throw rocks and flip off the trains when they roll by. Quote

That will definitely get it opened again! Even better is to tie yer dog up to the tracks, wile climbing Peguins... Quote
Fence_Sitter Posted November 1, 2002 Author Posted November 1, 2002 there is no way they could ever catch me...even with my gear on...i dare em' and this is the part where erik pipes in saying what a tool i am and that someeone will catch me...but trust me...they wont...if they can, they are not working for a railroad that is for sure... and i think i'll take the mellow 'no-one knows i'm here approach' even if i did go there which i dont think i will... no rock throwin and bird flippin for me at least this time..

Fence_Sitter Posted November 1, 2002 Author Posted November 1, 2002 i'd at least wait till you got a killer jam that you could hang on too for a while... Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted November 2, 2002 Posted November 2, 2002 I was at Lower Malamute this morning. The trail had new ribbons and there was the only old TRESSPASSING sign witht the rules on it (don't tie to tracks, etc..) The "DON'T CLIMB HERE" sign was gone from the trail and the routes were all chocked up. I didn't climb, I just hiked down to check on it on my way from Whistler to B'ham. By the way, Whistler rocked on Halloween!! Quote

Bill_Simpkins Posted November 2, 2002 Posted November 2, 2002 Chock, chalk, oops. I never sed I culd spel! I don't go down there enough to know that people take the sign down a lot. If people take down the sign, how does a "new to the area" climber armed with a guide book, just checking things out, know not to climb there? That kind-of sucks. Well, plenty of folks have been climbing there anyways the last few days, at least by the look of things. Yors troolee, Cuzin Cletus Quote
Mr._Chips Posted November 2, 2002 Posted November 2, 2002 With the lapse in the parties heading down there, maybe now is a good time to get in and practice some aid climbing on some nice cracks. HAMMER TIME!! Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted November 2, 2002 Posted November 2, 2002 Yeah, just leave the hammer at home. I'll bring a sledgehammer and we can just use railroad spikes. You bring the boom box and I'll bring the Skynard. Quote
Mr._Chips Posted November 2, 2002 Posted November 2, 2002 No, I am serious. there are some nice lines to hammer down there without having to worry about ethics-mongers charging away at you. I am talking thin blades and knives, perhaps some coppers, rurps, we shall see. I don't agree with angles when cams can be used, but a route with a horizontal crack I am not worried about 'tapping' in a little iron for body weight transition to next piece. As long as the second doesnt mind. Quote
Mr._Chips Posted November 3, 2002 Posted November 3, 2002 I am talking way down the line brother, away from the popular area of Malamute. Hell, I have seen others doing it down there, it's just the sight and sound of a hammer gets some people real jumpy real quick. Sometimes the sound of a Hilti too. Quote

Try "Thunderbolts and Lightning" nice thin roof crack next to the Big Eave. Quote

It doesn't bother me when you call me an asshole for calling you an asshole! When you learn to police your own impulses, the worries you've just described will vanish. Quote
