Off_White Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Its not crap, just don't assume every cobble is like a bolted on gym hold. I do wish it would dry up enough for the quarry to dry out though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenwesh Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 hey off, it was pretty warm and sunny today, anything dry at the quarry? I can't wait to get out and try more routes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keenwesh Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 oh come on!!! am I the only betabanned person at the quarry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Well, uh, yes, I think so. It must have been something about the "soft grading" and thinking things were 5.8 that did it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miladugga Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 He just told me at the gym that the V3s at Leavenworth are soft grades too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenwesh Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 oh come on! that wasn't a diss to your crag, it's location can't be beat. That 10b was awesome, fun moves on big holds with a nice little runout thrown in the mix. for me I could just skip any marginal holds and grab the big flake right above with my gigantic reachability, definitely harder then 5.8. Remember that .10+ totally stopped me short, I hangdogged the crap out of that. I promise I won't say your crag is soft ever again! but I might give some tall beta, heheh. as for outside bouldering, I totally blew my expectations out of the water. In the gym I can do V3's on a good day, so when I flashed a heelhooking 3 in leavenworth I was very surprised, to say the least. jeeze, if I've offended this many people over a little comment about soft ratings I guess I'll just keep my mouth shut, extra input is not appreciated in Tenino. All I want to do is climb at the sweet crag 20 min from my house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenwesh Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 to keep this about climbing and get away from any hurt feeling I may have caused (sorry guys) anyone want to go to Index for a day or two from Thursday to Saturday? Weather should be good and the grades there are stiff for sure! (please correct me if I'm wrong) I really want to try and flail my way up Sloe Children or Thin Fingers. also maybe give Even Stevens another try. I promise I won't spray about ratings. Fun day at index... any takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Keenan? We're messing with you. I'll keep you in the loop as things dry up, any day now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenwesh Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 figures... if you replace some of those anchors that are getting a little rusty I'd love to help out. I've never placed/removed a bolt before and I think it'd be a good skill to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
