ivan Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 sure it's a beautiful sunny day and you could be owning on the s side right now, but before the bitchfest begins, thought i might remind The Brethern, there is a side that didn't close, one that still even holds some adventure up high if'n you're willing to scare the holy shit out of yourself go get it, eh?

stevetimetravlr Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 but this is what I had my heart set on! Oh well, Stone Soup looks rad, count me in one weekend. Quote
pink Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 might wanna throw, larry harpe, marc farrah and myself on first ascent list mister Quote
pcg Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) I can hardly stand to look at this... Edited February 2, 2011 by pcg Quote
stevetimetravlr Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 That pile of rocks looks terrifyingly trundlerable. I'm surprised Ivan and Justin could restrain themselves. Which line there is yours Pink? Not Bears, so the Dirty Double? Quote
ivan Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 I can hardly stand to look at this... the easter island death stack - love that thing - whoever trundles it deserves death! it's actually totally stable so long as you don't touch it...or sneeze near it...or look at it cross pink, you ain't the first to bitch at me about the fa'ers - it was such a pain in the ass to draw that thing i haven't yet had the heart to do it again just to get it right at any rate, you need to actually climb the damn thing w/ me so i can understand where you boys actually were clambering around - lets make it a party at the moon-tower when you do - plenty of space on the swiss ledges Quote
ivan Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 but this is what I had my heart set on! Oh well, Stone Soup looks rad, count me in one weekend. pink's talking 'bout at least the first pitch of stone soup there steve - nice pic of the Dirty HO there though, can't believe you didn't want to get on it! Quote
pink Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 well the 1st pitch was just TR'd and thoroughly cleaned. the carpet was rolled. the whole base was a steep slope before i cleaned that whole face. and i'm thinkin i already did the 2nd pitch. from where your anchor is, did you choose the path of least resistance??? i know i did and i'm bettin u did too, but i'm wrong all the time the second pitch was called barney's bullet. anyway Quote
denalidave Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 might wanna throw, larry harpe, marc farrah and myself on first ascent list mister Better run that by JH, first, mista... Quote
JosephH Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Why? I got no fish in that kettle - tried to rap it once, but the PO was way, way too thick. Quote
kevbone Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 might wanna throw, larry harpe, marc farrah and myself on first ascent list mister Better run that by JH, first, mista... Why? He was not around in 98 when the gang was working that face. Larry harpe, Brad Jerrett and I top roped the first pitch. I have stood at the base a while ago to verify. Yep....he added bolts to a climb that has been done before. A big no no in the land of climbing. Andrew cleaned and climbed the climb to the left and right of this "new" route. Quote
ivan Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 see? you guys CAN find somethign else to bitch about! so who's gonna be out this weekend? Quote
denalidave Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Why? I got no fish in that kettle - tried to rap it once, but the PO was way, way too thick. I'm just "stirrin the soup"... (Remembering the FA debate on Stone Rodeo). Stay tuned for the next gripping episode of As the Bacon Churns... Will Ivan finally become a real "clean" climber and lose his dependency from the evils of the fifi hook? (Enter dramtic music here.) Will JH save us from ourselves? Will Kenny ever find out who has his beloved cam? Will someone finally make bird stew on Big Ledge? What will Boner cry about this week? Will DD jump off the Norseman? Dun,da, duuuuunnnnn..... Stay tuned and found out where the drama will end. Quote
ivan Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 Will DD jump off the Norseman? w/ or w/o parachute? w/ or w/o grabbing the birdies by the neck first? Quote
JosephH Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Not really much of a 'debate' unless you can move calendar weeks around. In general I don't think there's much of Beacon that hasn't been climbed before by the old guard. Quote
kevbone Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Ivan probably should have asked around before he added bolts to an existing top rope. Just saying...... Quote
ivan Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 did ask, though not on teh intrewubs as many specifically asked me not to ask here Quote
JosephH Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 They'd be easily removed by Ivan I'm guessing if that were a consensus. Is there one on this line? How many protection bolts/ pins were added? Quote
kevbone Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 did ask, though not on teh intrewubs as many specifically asked me not to ask here Who did you ask? Jim? I was not called. Nor Andrew, Larry, Marc or Brad. Quote
stevetimetravlr Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Well, he couldn't have added to many bolts if Kenny broke his tailbone on it! Doesn't the multipitch complete climb take prescedence over a single pitch top rope Kevbone? Hey, I hear you are top roping really well lately. Like the first pitch of the PO Wall had been climbed before Bridwell did it, but I don't see anybody calling it anything but the PO Wall. Any bolts, pins, and other assorted fixed gear should be encouraged on that shitty chossy side of Beacon in my mind since most of us only end up climbing there in the winter in the rain and the wet. Quote
LostCamKenny Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 did ask, though not on teh intrewubs as many specifically asked me not to ask here yet its on open forum now... That's it - OffWhite, please murder me! I've had enough. Quote
