neither do i, bill...i was playing devil's advocate with you...

 

LOL!

 

PS, here's Kyle and my son after the 5th ascent of Conga Line on Rumba Ridge last month in the high country. (2 awesome pitches with a total of 1 bolt on both pitches which was added to the first pitch for the 3rd ascent). The fact that there is a 2 pitch route, the 2nd pitch has 9 bolts on it 1/2 a mile away from here, doesn't change the fact that this is a whole 'nother world. Folks can easily walk past the bolted route and go right here. You can't even see the bolts on that 9 bolt route as you walk past the base to get here. You can see them with binocs if you are looking. Impact? The trail has more impact.

Even Kimmo, the most unabashedly sporty one posting in this thread, is hardly a one trick pony.

 

unfortunately not so, offie.

 

my one trick: left sloper, right pinch sloper, right heel, left pinch sloper, heel to toe, dyno hard, fall offa right hand sloper. scream, repeat.

 

practice and more practice is the secret to this trick; 50+ times now!

CLIP n GO!

 

BTW this is looking straight up, this rig is 45 degrees overhanging to start... it's pretty much a bolted V4 boulder problem out an overhanging crack to gain an arete.

Nothin wrong with that!

Right boys?

Even though it's in Canada, this is a Swiss climb.

 

Here's a Swiss guy climbing with knots for pro: 314909-largest_teufelsptal2.jpg

 

Knots on rope.

 

G -why you Canadians don't chop the bolts on that route is beyond me. I thought Sonny Trotter was Canadian? He climbs shit like that sans bolts. Is he in the states these days?

Here's the crux of a route with no cracks anywhere at all.

Rappelling the Trench Warfare route at Cathedral Formation, this is the crux, 15 bolts in 196 feet. No photoshopping, there are bolts but not visible.
