ivan Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Ivan.....I am serious about replacing all the bolts on that sporto line up to tree ledge. jim'll kill you if you remove the "historical" one's of course  some day when you get your kitchen pass lemme know and i'll serve as your bodyguard while you drill'em - unless of course they offer me more money to help wail on you  i should point out that i've yet to even try yarding on those funktacular things - probably should do that first though, eh?  hey, lean on jim to host another movie night sometime soon - it's been awhile since i had a legitimate reason to flee my scene of familial bliss on a thursday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbone Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Fuck yarding on them. Lets just replace them. Have you ever looked at it.......it will be a bold lead even if they are new bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olyclimber Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 apparently you missed the memo. Beacon Rock status reports are supposed to have the cover sheet on them. Â Â the above is a reference to a movie called Office Space. Â anyway, thanks for the Beacon STOKE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denalidave Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 i wish i could go climbing at index... beacon does have a cooler approach and walk off though - and probably more insane windy conditions to train in - plus we don't have meth-heads camped out in the parking lot  so there, bitz! Yep, insane windy today, even a bit of rain. Good times. Larry got blown about 30 ft sideways on rap, fun stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markd Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 if one man can do it then many men can do it   If I have the story right. It was chopped because of ego......has it seen an accent sans bolts?  time for a history lesson. legend has it that 'the phantom' didn't like that a rap bolted route was put up ( or down ) off land of the little people. nathan went back up and bolted it on lead using gear and bolts and it was chopped again. even jim o wanted it to stay or at least that's what he told me. only the first bolt is missing though.

billcoe Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Damn, I missed all the good stuff bullshit cause I was off raising my kids. That's a good thing I'll bet. You might check with the "Phantom", whomever that is/was, and everyone else so that another chop job doesn't ensue before placing more bolts Ivan. Â Where did Nate go off too BTW, never hear of him anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 in order for it not to get chopped again, one has to lead it ground up naked and drill the bolt holes with their cock. i have a good idea for a new name though. "balls to the wall"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phantom did not want a sport route leaving "his" ledge. Now that the phantom is gone the route needs to be reinstated for all to enjoy. IMO.

pink Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 i wonder if ego was involved when bolted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 and there was more than one phantom but both of them are gone now. they were both my friends and climbing mentors and they were not sport climbers nor did they wear lycra.

kevbone Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I dont think the phantom cared about it being bolted on rapell considering he has helped with other rapell boled climbs at Beacon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevbone Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Its nice to know there is a small crew of climbers at Beacon that honestly care about it. Regardless if we all agree or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
