Moses! Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 DO YOU ALSO POST AS MOSES! ? Bill my son, please never confuse my charming satire with the mindless drivel of that migrant mexican. I like guns, women able to bore me many sons, and the GOP. In that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephH Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 The 'right of passage' rules are written into the CMP at Beacon. As a multi-pitch crag, people leading have right of way over those TRing. Pretty simple and common sense. At single pitch crags it's bit of a different story, but even a modicum of common sense and politeness would dictate not tying up a pitch this way for a long period of time. This past Saturday Beacon was pretty quiet with no regulars around, but there was a party with a TR up on 'Little Wing' which probably wouldn't have flown long on a busier day - ditto for TRing the first pitch of the Corner.

Ishmael Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I always thought having a conversation with ones self to that degree was a sign of losing it... esp when you are insulting yourself… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrogdortheBurninator Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi Mark, I believe I saw you on saturday in the bluffs. I thought I recognized you from the WCC slide show you gave last year (??). Apparently you guys just made the wrong choice of routes. We climbed nothing but short approach 5 star (bourdon) moderate routes all weekend and waited in line only once. Mosquito - 10 min wait Phlegmish dance - 0 min wait Wonderland - 0 min wait Neat and cool - 0 min wait (entire crag was empty after we finished) Exasperator - 0 min wait Seasoned in the Sun - 0 min wait (well except for the rain squall we let pass) Merci Me - 0 min wait - we bailed cause of wetness Peasants route - 0 min wait - wet at start Centerfold - 0 min wait I think we just got very lucky with crowds.

tanstaafl Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I find it interesting that topropers are such a problem. I must not crag enough or not at the right places. I've definitely skipped more routes I hoped to lead because a leader was taking for-freaking-ever to get up them than I have because people were toproping them.

el jefe Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 yes, bug, cheaper than prozac and with fewer untoward side effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckaroo Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 It is entirely possible to climb in Squamish all weekend without being a herd mammal, and never have to wait in line. have to agree, even Index is like that, there's quite a few climbs just as good as the popular ones, just a short ways off the beaten track.
