olyclimber Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 are you touched that kev thought of you first? Quote
billcoe Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 of course! I think of Kevin on occasion as well when we do bolted climbs. Speaking of bolted climbs. I was fortunate to be able to do the FA of a new bolted line at Cathedral Formation with Jeff Thomas and Jim Opdycke: 2 of my favorite people. It had been pouring buckets the previous few days, and the rock was still wet Saturday but we went out anyway. Here's a few pictures of old guys for Pete. (I was the young gun at 54, but hit 55 in @ 3 weeks). I don't have any of Jim actually climbing as he had my camera and he followed second and brought it up to me, so I have just shitloads of Jeff as Jim belayed him up and I just stood there looking dumb with a camera in my hands. Jim has on a hunter orange vest, and I had on a hunter orange coat as Deer season is in full swing, and there were the occasional gunshots and "redneck in a truck driving down the road to spot deer" sighting. Wearing approach shoes to lead this new route belies the ease and enjoyment of the route (and it was very fun and very easy!). OK - so there was wet, muddy dirt on route and I did kick step a few hummocks - this great Jeff Thomas picture makes the dirt magically disappear. When the climb later gets repeated and there is only rock and not mud, this will be a popular and even easier and more fun Uber classic. Jeff below having made the traverse, you can see the "minor pinnacle" where he traversed in just below him if you look carefully: Here he is at about the same spot where he took that great pic of me. Picture looking up at The Old Witch pinnacle. I'm standing there about where the sunshine starts on the right of the pinnacle. We didn't climb the pinnacle this day despite Jeff's entreaty's (Bill, the light is PERFECT!) Jim Opdycke on top. The wall continues on up, we weren't standing on the ground like it looks -LOL! It may be @ 270 feet, give or take, off the ground right here. The next pitch of the Witch isn't that long though...maybe 60-70 feet...? Here's the route description: The Gingerbread Shortcut - 5.5 Instead of heading up for the 2nd pitch of Lava Flow, turn left towards a minor pinnacle 10 feet to the left, turn the corner, then run up the gully and sneak up on the Old Witch instead. 9 bolts, although there are 2 medium cams placements between bolts up higher, or you can skip the placements and just clip bolts. The combined age for the 3 guys of the first ascent party totaled 176 years with 115 total climbing years between them...and the route is still screwed up and poorly bolted LOL! (PS blame Bill) 10/24/2009 Bill Coe, Jim Opdycke and Jeff Thomas. A possible name for the combination of Lava Tube, Gingerbread Shortcut and then summit The Old Witch might be "The Geriatric Tour", so bring your walkers and canes as it's very do-able even for the aged and infirm....cough* cough*. 3 single rope raps to the deck and a short hike out. Life is so sweet! Here's the overview with the route I think we did marked. This was at the end of the day, and although the buttresses were all dry, the groves and gullies were still wet. Quote
