Dry Tooling

[mzvarner]

So I want to play with dry tooling a little bit. I have not climbed very much ice or mix. What is the proper ettiquete? Can i dry tool crappy moss covered climbs at local crags, Is there a "dry tool" crag in WA?

"Just go dry tooling at any established sport climbing cliff. The bolters have already fucked up the cliff in perpetuity for all generations to come. If you want I can post photos of the routes with big red circles around each bolt."

Dishman, everyone else does.

Can you clarify what you mean Dane?

Dishman is the uberfucked crag where Hugh Jass put bolts 3 feet apart and chipped + placed plastic holds all over Dane's old route because they were too hard and scary for all the pansy ass bitches who wanted to climb them.

I dont want to start a war here, but i like the climbing at Dishman. I spent three hours cleaning a route there earlier this summer (Body Scarfer .12b i believe). All it needs is a little TLC and its good to go.

 

Idk to much about the history there.

dude that fuckin sucks. Soundslike that cacodomian boulder or however you spell it up at Squam-bomb.

Pretty much... the Cacodeamon boulder still has some REALLY good routes, like 'Dreamcatcher', 'Bravado' and 'Permanent Waves' well away from the fucked up glued on holds. Such an eyesore!
