Beacon

Recommended Posts

I got sketched Kevbone 1) it was the first time using my Silent Partner. 2) it was first time climbing the route, I thought it was Broadway but it was YW. 3) so I kept forgetting about untieing and retieing my backup knot every 20 feet and I would be climbing up and hit the end of the rope and be in a bad place but have to reach down and untie and drop the knot, sketchy! So it was a learning experience. Doing Crusing went much easier. I have since learned I don't really need backup knots so much with a silent partner. The thing always locks off, just make sure to take the fall and not try to slow yourself down.

only had to see the boy eat shit twice on the icy bits :)
father of the year strikes again :laf:

hey, when you're only 2 feet tall it ain't such a long way down - plus he was kinda asking for it, slurping non-stop on the yellow icicles he was snapping off the wall every couple of feet :P

Beacon appealing? What are you talking about? that place is terrifying, it don't take no gear, there is snakes and big spiders and peregrine falcons, and don't forget about the crazies.....oh man. yeah, I love having a rope gun, just point em in the right direction and squeeze the trigger as Im getting to old to climb jackshit.

Pretty slow around these parts this time of the year.

i've been excercising my rare ability not to spray about beacon :)

 

seen jimbo and company out there too, so not been neglected too much...

 

offering free rides to folks who might want to take the cool way to the top, but no one's taking me up on it yet...fucking tourists.

Heading to Ozone tomorrow. YEAH!

 

 

It was nice to meet you out there today Kevin. Great day.

You as well. Killer day for climbing. The zone was packed to the max....I have never seen almost every climb having a rope on it. It makes sense....that place is super fun climbing.
