pink Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I just looked at Tim Olsens big poster map of Beacon that I have laminated. It looks like Borderline is the line left of Blownout, and Second Wind goes right. Says Borderline is 11b and Second Wind is 11d, yikes. Stout. How is Borderline? it's 11b, great route. the crack system after the bolt is perfect and seems to stay pretty clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hey Billcoe... Im pretty sure my friend and I aided that thing back in the late 90's, I can't recall a name though. That arete above his head would make for a killer line! Sure? Jim had said it had never been done before, certainly was not in Tims book, and we didn't see any evidence of a prior ascent. If you did you must have bagged the FA. Tell us about it. Name of who you climbed it with, dates, pro, where you went or finished etc etc? We'll make sure you get credit for it. Wow didnt think we had done an FA... I'll write some more in a little bit then! that's what she (ivan) said [video:youtube]7yl3UMO-TkE and ivan told me a while back i should retire pink, nigga puleezz!!!

stevetimetravlr Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 I getting kind of old myself. Just noticed the second line right of Blownout is called Rock Pirates. 5.12 and runout it says. The topo shows at least 12 bolts on it, thats a Beacon rarity in one pitch.

stevetimetravlr Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Rock Pirates. Robert McGown first ascent. First free ascent M. Cartier and D. Nakahira 1985 The saame guys that did 1st free ascent of Bears in Heat, must have been prolific ass kickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephH Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Cartier still climbs out at Beacon and I know he usually gets on Borderline and BSS every year. He did NIAD with Florine three or four years ago. Daryl is still active in Bend as well I believe and at one point bitd when the Camp 4 boys were into boxing he went a few rounds with Bachar more than holding his own.

stevetimetravlr Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 I'll have to add Borderline to the List for next year. In looking at Olsens color map see that he upgraded Bears in Heat from 10d(old guide) to 11b. Thats more in line with what I thought, it was stout. Ivan, r u sure thats not just a birthmark that comes and goes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 you'll never guess this one notice any similarities? anyone buellar, buellar, buellar hate to break your heart pink, but those 2 pics ain't the same climb in your pic, joe's up and right of where i am in my pic - where i am in my pic is where i was when cleaning and trying to go in joe's direction, which i abandoned after it looked like i'd need bolts, which i wanted to put off as long as possible instead, my pitch traveres strait left - that pic shows the area kenny fell as well...

ivan Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Dastardly Crack?
