ChestBeater Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Climbing trees is dangerous. I'd being doing you a disservice if I looked the other way. I know how easy it must feel for you to be angry at me right now and I'm really sorry that I can't be more positive. I've been in your shoes... Please be careful.

billcoe Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Well I just consulted the guidebook and it turns out that the tree is "ON" after all cause it says so! "Lizard Locks 5.10b This is the obvious crack near the Eastern side of the wall. The start, shared by Introductory Offer, is 3 stacked blocks at head height in between 2 shallow caves. This is the opening sequence to both routes. One strategy, employed on the FA, was to boulder the loose looking lumpy blocks for 12' (and which may in fact not be there, but on the ground or down the hill somewhere when you get there), step left 5-7 feet and then up, waiting until you're @20' off the deck and looking at a bad, testicular shrinking, fern crushing fall to place your first pro at the base of the obvious crack with a #3 friend as the first piece so that your pieces align and do not cause rope drag. Another #3 or 3-1/2" cam will avoid a highball fall and protect the move to get to the crack if you are so inclined. Small cams to 1" will get you up the solid finger and hand locks. Say hi to the Northern Alligator Lizard if he hasn't moved on yet which had casually wandered over stared at the first ascentionist as he cruised past. Strangly, the Lizard allowed himself to be touched as if he had actually wandered over to have his back scratched. Head up past a small 2" diameter tree growing right out of the crack; try not to break off this handhold/foothold /asscheek rest and finish up and slightly to the right of the buttress and then on easier moves directly to the huge fir with the rap anchor on it. Rap off the fir. FA Bill Coe, Jim Opdycke, Ujahn Davvison" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I JUST LOGGED ON THE INTERNET FOR THE FIRST TIME AND FOUND YOUR HOMEPAGE. THANK YOU FOR THIS VALUABLE CLIMBING INFORMATION.

Then again, maybe his girlfriend, pink, can read it to him?? Edited May 28, 2009 by RuMR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olyclimber Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 GAIS! CAN WE STAY ON TOPIC? ANYWAY....SAY THE DONKEY IS WITH A CLOWN, AND THEY ARE FROM ENUMCLAW? WHAT ETHICALLY SHOULD YOU DO? SHOULD YOU STOP WHAT GOD DID NOT MEAN TO HAPPEN? OR SHOULD YOU JUST ASK TO CLIMB BY? OR SHOULD YOU PULL ON THEIR "GEAR"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChestBeater Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 The question still remains. Is it considered freeing a route if you pull on branches. Not if there are ethics surrounding it. I see what you are saying. If there are ethics near the branches, it's not free climbing. Gotcha. I think you get what everyone has been trying to tell you, so I'm not going to pile on. I do want to share one thing with you though and I hope that you'll really think about it: I've been climbing for 11 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO YOU THINK THAT IS THE HARDEST TREE AID PITCH THAT HAS EVER BEEN CLIMBED OR IS THERE AN A5 TREE PITCH OUT THERE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olyclimber Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 IMO? LOL! GTFO! MYOBPDQ! BOOKS ARE PAPER! DOES A CERTAIN BINDING MAKE A BOOK? THESE ARE THE ETHICAL PROBLEMS THAT HAVE PLAGUED THE SPORT OF CLIMBING ON ROCKS AND VEGETATIVE MATTER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
