astrov Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Funny. I probably placed those pieces on the 18th but didn't recognize them 2 days ago. I have a matching wallnut and an unmarked anodized stopper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrov Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Lost at base of Cruisin' on Thursday, August 30 - Purple VTech "V-Talk" 2-way radio. I actually dropped it from the belay station at the end of pitch 2 of SE Corner and it fell into the void. I'm curious if it survived the fall. I might have to rap the route from that station to see if I can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denalidave Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 importantly raising a family Bryan: few things in life are as much of a priority or as rewarding as that IMO. Congrats. Agreed 100%. Spending time with my two children is about as good as it gets. IMO. Just bring the rugrats to Beacon... We were there yesterday and the day before. I think were gonna hit the Boardwalk area today. I hope they don't ask why the route is called Rhythm Method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I think were gonna hit the Boardwalk area today. I hope they don't ask why the route is called Rhythm Method. LOL. I won't tell you when that discussion should occur but it surprised me when it came. My own kid knew a hell of a lot more than me when I finally got around to it. My answer to my daughter would be: climbed first with no bolts and you can plan on the "protection" failing should you use it:-) Didn't see you out there DD. Did a lap up the corner with Jim and Amit, a new guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billcoe Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Meh. The old guy noted that (cause his shoes are already slippery I'd imagine.) Then he sat to cleaning it up. It's mostly cleaned off. I use to bring a can of Smoked Oysters packed in oil for snow caves or winter ascents so that I could first eat the stuff but then use the empty can for a candle holder after burning the oil for light if I wasn't hungry. The can acts as both a wind shield if you prop it up, a reflector (so you get more light), and a drip catcher if you don't have dripless candles. Up on Beacon it might also act to shield the direct light a bit from prying eyes below. Good night to be sleeping out I'd bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
