Trip: Grasslawn Park, Redmond, WA - FA -- HandGrenade, M9+ (X)

 

Date: 12/14/2010

 

Trip Report:

I saw these sweet lines the other day and just had to get my mixed on.

 

 

We snuck in with a few friends late at night to rap-bolt my new line -- we had to do it late at night to keep the park rangers away.

 

Temps were rising, and shit was coming down. Might be best to do early mornings.

 

I won't spoil the climb by giving away too much beta. There are a few bolts on the route. One of them is sketchy, so watch out.

 

I don't think people should just go to town projecting this route yet. Please only do it if you think you have a pretty good chance of making it.

 

We saw these guys doing another mixed route nearby as we left. Good times!

 

 

Approach Notes:

Please don't block the road.

This isolatedchaser spoof is certainly giving Klenke a run for his money: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=899860

 

Never a dull moment around here.

Allez!

[Ilovecheese]

That's proud.

[klenke]

Uh, doesn't this trip report belong in the Fake Climbing Forum?

 

 

Who's going to be the first to send that overhung alcove with the gargantuan chockstone? I don't think any of us have hard enough cores. Better notify the girlie boys and boyish girlies over at RC.com.

 

Ivan: Don't be jealous of my Fawn Peak FKT.

Fake climbing? You guys are just jealous cause I'm the next colin haley. I'm a better climber than probably 90% of this forum. So of course you web trolling haters have to jump all over my shit, you fags!

 

That's right, you come at me, I'll hit you right back.

[klenke]

Where are your Dan Howittaboutthat split times, ChumpChaser?

[olyclimber]

How far should we take this? I could ban you just like the real CJB.

Hey, I got double amputee 3rd grade girls outclimbing me these days you aren't so damn special.

 

G- haha, nice, but isn't that the fake rock in the Polar Bear exhibit in the zoo? Where's the bears?

[sepultura]

rumor has it you guys got all bloody when the whole thing almost collapsed! You are definitely the best mixed climbers alive today!

[ilookeddown]

This deserves a second attempt.

 

 

I know most have seen it.

[AlpineK]

I can't remember if that was the first trip report I ever watched or this was:

 

In any case both expeditions were inspirational.

Well I thought this whole thing was hilarious until this point. Now if this is post is totally in jest, I still think it's funny. But dude, you gotta stop using the word 'fag.' That was so middle school, and even then we all sounded stupid when we used it.

 

Now hit me right back.
