chris_stolz Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) There will be cleaning on the middle of Caramba Terrace on Sunday May 30. Anticipate rockfall. If you are doing the Ultimate everything, Upper Echelon, etc, please approach from Apron or South Gully. Here is a picture of where we are working. http://gumbiesoncrack.blogspot.com/2009/08/drop-zone.html'>http://gumbiesoncrack.blogspot.com/2009/08/drop-zone.html If you are passing by, just yell up at us; we can stop cleaning while you pass. This cleaning will NOT affect any North Wall or Badge routes or approaches, and will not affect any bouldering. I am hoping we will finish construction this weekend...thanks to everybody for your patience. An 18 pitch 5.11-(A0)/5.12B free route is in the works.

JosephH Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 Does that mean mere 'development' was inadequate to the task and climbing now has to resort to all out 'construction'? Must be a real natural line... Quote
chris_stolz Posted May 30, 2010 Author Posted May 30, 2010 the word is being used as a metaphor-- "work" would do as well-- it's 18 pitches, only 1 of which is all bolts, many of the pitches are pure gear, yadda yadda. we actually did most of it ground up so it does follow natural lines etc. although there is one pitch where we felt tempted to screw some gym holds onto the damned rock...

chris_stolz Posted June 1, 2010 Author Posted June 1, 2010 some hilarious writing on that blahg. recommended for the irreverent. Thanks, Rat. Do pass it on. I currently have a grand total of EIGHT followers. And I would eventually like to make enough money off it to buy Google, so I can convince them to have mountain-themed graphics on their page. Or at least the occasional naked lady. Construction, for now, is done. I will post when the thing is climbable. Quote
billcoe Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 Or at least the occasional naked lady. I'd show up for this! BTW, like the writing and also how you shrug off the criticisms, cracks me up! Thanks for sharing. Quote
