LostCamKenny Posted December 8, 2009 Author Posted December 8, 2009 And I thought flying a kite was a fun way to spend a breezy afternoon. Oh, I was not supposed to be the kite? Now ya tell me. how bout a hot air balloon? Quote
denalidave Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 OK, so here's my cheesy video to go along with the cheesy Gordita. Thanks for the Vimeo tip, stevetimetravlr. [video:vimeo] Windsurfer, Beacon Rock, August 2008 from David Goldring on Vimeo. Quote
JosephH Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Hmmmm. So look, pretty much no one's going out on these cold and windy days but us chickens. And no one but one of us is heading out there and up with a hammer and funk. Again, I sure would appreciate a heads up on that pin, putting it back, or dropping it off at Jim's - thanks. Â P.S. Dave, good to see you keeping after that free stuff; Windsurfer is a solid go... Quote
ivan Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 i wouldn't hold out much hope dude, but who cares, it's just a pin - i gotta an old booty one you can want if you wish and i wouldn't be so sure it's someone you know - as mentioned in this thread, we all saw some folks we had no clue on wailing on blown out in full on conditions and i bet you coulda got that thing out w/o a hammer or funk anyhow  who replaced the webbing on the wind surfer anchor? it's nice they left both steel rings.

Yeah, I hear you other folks might come out and free climb, but not with a hammer and funk - and that pin was not coming out easy even with a hammer and funk. Â who replaced the webbing on the wind surfer anchor? it's nice they left both steel rings. That is nice, but it didn't need replacing - none of the anchors currently need sling replacements. Quote
billcoe Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 JH, you're welcome to paw through my stuff and see if there is a suitable replacement anywhere in that pile of crap someplace (I have some strange soft Eurotrash somewhere I believe)- you'd be welcome to it....I'd be afraid that whomever wanted the first one might think the 2nd one was worth lifting as well though.

pink Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 there's tons of pins layin everywhere down by the tracks... Quote
JosephH Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Bill, thanks, I'll take you up on that. Don't know that I'll put it back, but if we have to hang multiple lines off of that spot again, then that particular pin was the ticket. Quote
kevbone Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 That pin was an add-on. In other words lots of climbers have climbed that route and belayed from that same place with no pin ever. Why the huff now that it is gone? Quote

In other words lots of climbers have climbed that route and belayed from that same place with no pin ever. Why the huff now that it is gone?  JH don’t fear change!  I fear change YW has already substantially and steadily changed over the years as loosening rock has been trundled and will continue to do so. Change happens.   And the 'before' photo here on the left is itself an 'after' photo due to the late night launch, just a few months earlier, of the large stone that was in front of those. The ones you see here that were trundled are what now make up the foundation of the new base of the climb. It's a new base because that bottom-most rock in the 'before' picture filled the dihedral for about twelve feet and, when dropped, sliced through the old base on it's way cartwheeling over the trail and down the hill.  Quote
