Grid Bolting style

[Cpt.Caveman]

I hear that Leland Windham is responsible for the Condor Buttress shame. Is this the same guy bolting in WA pass? I hope we don't have a grid boltfest.

[Dru]

I think you are referring to "line" bolting style. a "grid" is two-dimensional and requires at least two parallel lines of bolts!!!

Not correct. I mean Grid. Sit back and wait for the fodder Dru.

 

I'll be leadin' this mission.

I did the route last week and must say it's really nice. It's a great, pleasant line with varied climbing and lots of fun movement. The approach offers a nice warm up and super views of the Stuart Range. My only complaint is that the route is overbolted. I appreciate the route setter's desire to make the route safe and popular, but anyone who can climb 5.10b can deal with a fifteen foot runout on 5.6 slabs.

My advice is to do it in three and a half pitches. Bring 16 draws (or tweleve and skip a bunch of bolts) and do two "pitches" at a time. Basically, it's a nice three pitch route with super views.

"Sit back and wait for the fodder?" I'll have you know my fodder can whup your fodder and your mama as well any day of the week ya damn Yankee! And our beer tastes better too!

[Cpt.Caveman]

Dru, You Canadians just have'nt figured out yet but you are just another colony of the U.S. We keep you around for the hash production. Your beer is weak like your army.

[Dru]

We don't even HAVE an army! All we have is "peacekeepers" who go into an area where the US New World Order has screwed things up and keep the citizens from killing each other by duct taping them to the walls of their houses! And on American beer - well I saw a can of 5.5% alc./vol beer in the US labelled "strong beer", or even "malt liquor". In Canada it's got to be over 7% to be "strong" and over 20% to be "liquor" eh! 5.5% beer is just for cleansing your palate between mouthfuls of the good stuff!

Dru,

Botttom line your beer tastes like piss and looks like it too.

Maybe you need an introduction to one of my favs Bigfoot Ale by Sierra Nevada 10.5% alc. I call a truce to your crew Dru. I bring the brew you bring the Tango Oscah Kilo Echo and we have a party in the Icicle next time you are here.

Well said Trans Canada-Yank Clan.

Chongo will drink any nations beer, take any nations women, and climb any route regardless of ethics of first ascent.

It's all about the clan. Spew on "The Community"

What is it with Hollan Holmes anyways? Are his cartoons supposed to be funny or what? They are to Tami Knight and Derek Bourne what "Family Circus" is to "Maakies".

Dru,

They are what I see going on with the whole bolt up in WA pass route thread. I personally think that those guys look like this.

Chongo we are the same clan well said.

Truce is off with Dru the Canadian. We will pillage his village of Chillidog and take his women and beer.

Still getting reports\sightings from recon squad420 of bumbly Canadians in pink Spandex. Hmm what is up with them limp wristed Canadians...

Captain caveman,

You state that the US keeps Canada around "for the hash production". First of all, hash is not commercially produced in Canada. Canadians only grow the finest hydroponic marijuana available. Hash is a low grade hemp product typically produced in third world countries such as Morocco. I know you Americans are lied to by your own government, so I just thought I would clear that up.

As for Canadians being "limp wristed", well, that really hurts......

Thomas

[Dru]

Actually, hash is produced in Canada in small quantities. At least once a year some trailer trash type will blow himself up while cooking down the hemp with Coleman fuel as a solvent or whatever and chain smoking. Boom!

And Capt. Raveman, that's not pink lycra, it's pink skin under the infamous "transparent Lycra".

[Cpt.Caveman]

Barbarian Chongo Horowitz take care of these bickering Canadians. I will pay you a rack of Guiness. Good mercenaries are hard to come by....

Poof Cpt.Caveman disappears in a cloud of freeze dried salad.

Almost Caveman's first post. (this one is funnier than his first)

Don't beleive the propoganda dru!

 

The truth.
