mythosgrl Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 So i just moved to Denver, and I have gone out climbing a couple of times to some local crags. It's nice to have climbing 20 mins away, but PEOPLE BOLT CRACKS HERE AND IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY!!!!! I think Washitonian route setters are smarter than the route setters here in CO. Sorry, i just wanted to complain a little... Quote
Braydon Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 could you place good gear in the crack? what's the point of bolting a crack??? Quote
AlpineK Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Are you talking about that Shelf Road area? That always had a reputation for overuse of bolts. Â They don't have that kind of ethic in Eldorado Canyon. That place rocks. So does Mickey Mouse Wall. I should add that getting to Micky Mouse Wall is exciting since you have to travel through 4 RR tunnels to get there. I had good times climbing there. Â During my time in the Boulder area I'd climb in Eldo or up at Lumpy Ridge. That and the proximity to some great climbs in RMNP were some good things about the area. Â In the end though I got sick of the place and wanted to get back to the PNW since it's way cooler. Quote
Blake Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Washitonian route setters are smarter... Â When you move to Colorado you lose the use of your "G" key. They confiscate it at the state line. Quote
G-spotter Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Route SETTERS are the minimum-wage staff that work in gyms. Just sayin' Quote
Hugh Conway Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 wtf why would you bolt a crack? dude, brah, you just don't understand Quote
billcoe Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I put a bolt near a crack the other day and I still feel the shame. I don't know how they can live with themselves. Â Wheres was this Mythosgirl? Quote

mythosgrl Posted October 7, 2008 Author Posted October 7, 2008 It was in Clear Creek Canyon at Wall of the 90's and also some climbs at North Table Mountain in Golden, CO. Quote
