billcoe Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Sometimes I put my head in the buthole. Sweet, but you're the only one to recognize it Dave, even though that's what this thread is pretty much evolved into. Woot! Regards to all: Bill Quote
pink Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 yes bill, but what do u do about it? i wonder who was the very first active poster on bacon here on cc.com? Quote
JosephH Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 So let me get this straight, you're all have your panties in a twist over a missing chunk of beat rope that has been replaced by another chunk of beat rope. And that's what constitutes "sad times" out at Beacon now? Got it, sad, but I've got it. Better keep this one under wraps here on cc.com as if Steve posts this tragedy up on ST he'll be laughed out off the internet with folks archiving his post so it can't be deleted. Quote

pink Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 When we got on it we coincidentally and without realizing it had squeaked in after Bob had aided it, but before they freed it. There was a fixed wire and a couple of 1/4" bolts if I recall correctly, so it was a mixed line even then. But Foster did rings in college, was / is fearless to a fault, soloed a few 12s, and we lived for doing roofs so it wasn't much of a stretch for him. I was actually sketching on it way more following than he did on lead. Edit: It would have been on my old rack that was later stolen so it would have been on nuts and original Friends of which I had a double sets. As I recall I freed up to the base of Silver Crow going out left from the Pipeline anchor after we finished Stone Rodeo. It was a good day and we hadn't seen each other in quite awhile. interesting Quote
pink Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 No one 'stole' anything, we walked down the trail and did the first interesting thing we saw. I didn't put two and two together until years later. As the route has been bolted and retrobolted I'm not sure what the point of 'authority' is, but again it doesn't require any more bolts given it was done originally with about half the bolts that are there now. It was and is a bold lead that's already been dimmed down once, no need to pussify it, just need to fix the two bad high angles. Quote
