JosephH Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Unfortunately been pushed out two years - at least when I move, it will be to go do something I want to do, not because they closed the rock and 'ruined' my life here (not that you've been tearing it up in CO or anything).

JosephH Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Pretty far off the mark Steve, I'm not the one who's life was 'ruined' by the bird and I don't think rock is 'dangerous'. Dave is closer to the mark, but as I keep saying, I'm not elitist, just selfish about getting all the days out there I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephH Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 i thought ya'll just bitched during winter? As we move into year 15 of 'The Persecution', bitching has been expanded to all 12 months, especially for those whose geographic or child-rearing status impedes them from enjoying Beacon now that it's open.

stevetimetravlr Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I'll bitch about the blackberry bush on Cruising. On the final part up above it snagged me as I was passing by and wouldn't let go. Only one blackberry bush but it was tenacious, tried to knock me off as I was wrestling with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Didn't notice any blackberry bush yesterday but YW was certainly a bit more on P1 and 3 with all the gravel and dirt. Did hear I missed a damn good dance party though. Video to be released soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billcoe Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 OMG Slacker sighting! Los Dos Tappetts! Yesterdays events: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/965803/Fun_graphic#Post965803 BTW, I have hierthro been posting some banal thing in spray, like "nice graphic dude", and then later re-editing it with additional text and pictures as needed like this example link above. After all, this is a forum for bitching and Beacon, so I generally haven't been sharing any of this shit except with you dudes and a few other gentle folks.

pink Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 i can't see kevbone ever chopping a bolt, i've thought about chopping a few bolts in the past but always thought better of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 chopping bolts sounds suspiciously like work to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephH Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 It's not a big deal as that particular anchor won't be there this time next year, we'll just want it next year's open to check the stability of a couple of large blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevbone Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 OK....so we found the mystery bolts. Who placed the bolts? Bill, JH. I find that hard to believe considering your ethics on bolts. JH…you are Mr. nonbolter. There is a PERFECT crack 4 inches to the left with completely bomber rock. Two #4 Camelot’s would make a super strong anchor for cleaning. The bolts are pointless. I could see the need if there was no other option……here here to hypocrisy. And lots of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbone Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 Great to see Jim, Kenny and Adam in the parking lot last night. Our paths crossed as they were leaving for the day and Arent and I were racking up to headlamp it up the corner.....I love Beacon. We went car to car in 2 hours by head lamp, included a short stay at the LoLP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, you'll get your times down if you keep working on it, don't stress on it as it's still early in the training season. BTW: did you chop any bolts? No?........TOLD YA SO TOLD YA SO TOLD YA SO! lol! Where's my $100! Did I make that call or what?!!! Hah ha ! Some dawgs some dawgs just bark bark bark. For myself, sure I bark my ass off, but do things on occasion, like chase a squirrel or scratch my nutz..:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
