billcoe Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Mark Cartier and his friend Kip grabbed the first go on the rehabilitated Flying Circus. Stout business, but all there to be done... I bet that sissy didn't do the sit-start to reasonable richard. Probably should go back and do it again so he can say he climbed it. I saw them last week, I think he might have done that one. Quote
JosephH Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Bill, thanks for the kind words - and for any pins you can dig up. How did Blownout go this time around? Quote
jmace Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Ah, can't say I'd be clipping any ring pins with high hopes and expectations - those are more about keeping the history... ive been in the dolomites for the last two weeks and id say if you dont like clipping ring pitons youd be in mighty big trouble over here...hahaha no one seems to be dying so maybe you guys are just a tad jaded with the bomber gear on most of our routes..ive done 20 pitch routes over here on only pitons even hanging belays with just one ring piton shimmed in with wood with my ass blowin in the wind 600m above the deck..suck it up boys by the way the climbing here is un fuckin beleivably rad!! ill write a tr at the end of the month when im back off to the pyrenees now adios jesse Quote
billcoe Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 by the way the climbing here is un fuckin beleivably rad!! ill write a tr at the end of the month when im back Asshole. I'm in my cube right now. I've been thinking about heading there for a long time. I have the Dolomite guide book at home...and still have my empty my dreams....sigh... Sounds like you're having just way too much fun. I want to see that TR Jesse, get lots of good pics eh? _________________________________________________________________ JH: rolled up it. Still seemed physical, I think that's cause I'm old and weak in the upper body. But we did YW afterwards and that felt easy and could have done some more too but we both had family obligations, my bro and his wife were in town and Ujhans Aunt had come into town as well. Quote
Adventureboy Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 definately took the whip on Sagitarius long in the 'dex at the roof prolly close to 15+ feet on a pin that was pounded straight up and came out okay with all my limbs intact. though when i do clip a pin in a situation where it may take a fall or anytime for that matter i try to give it a good jerk and listen for funky hollow sound or marked movement pins a plus Quote
