denalidave Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I've seen him flash 5.8 though. In the gym. I don't think he is allowed within 100 ft of any gyms around here... Quote
denalidave Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 does this even have a name? Not that I am aware of. Go ahead and name it so we all have something to bitch and moan about next year when the real FA posts up... Quote
pink Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 well after 10 years FA's don't count anymore. look's like blownout is up for dibs again Quote
billcoe Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 haha ivan I'm sure you can climb plenty hard these days if you want to. that second one of dd's is familiar. Almost want to say high on YW somewhere... its a highball bouldering problem where you can cut left off the corner, just above that little chimney, to get to the land of the little people - if i can figure out how to access and clean it, there's a silly cool handcrack w/ skeeery exposure at the very end I think Ivan nailed that..cough* cough* I mean, "correctly identified it", not "nailed it" like with Pins. I've heard from the woo li master that Ivan has free soloed that route, and the grade is argued over more than any other thing out there. I say @5.7 but I'd believe 5.8 and if you said 5.6 I probably wouldn't argue. Route? The King finally getting afternoon shade after sweating in 97 degree weather. Quote
The Ospray Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Hey Billcoe... Im prettysure my friend and I aided that thing back in the late 90's, I can't recall a name though. Edited February 10, 2011 by The Ospray Quote
billcoe Posted February 10, 2011 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. Quote

stevetimetravlr Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 Affirmative. That was Bears in Heat. Classic direct start to Blownout below. Anyone done the 11b route that goes right partway up the 2nd pitch of Blownout, I think its called Second wind? Quote

stevetimetravlr Posted February 10, 2011 Author Posted February 10, 2011 Just changed the question. Second Wind is what I was wondering about. Jim said the bolts on it are crappy. but it looks really cool. Quote
billcoe Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Wow didnt think we had done an FA... I'll write some more in a little bit then! ? Quote
billcoe Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 you'll never guess this one man, looks like Joseph tr something on the North side. Except its almost too dry and not enough moss. hmmm , I don't know the names of any of those.... Quote

stevetimetravlr Posted February 10, 2011 Author 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? Quote

Jim said the bolts on it are crappy. but it looks really cool. jim also told me last night on the phone that he filled in ivan where him and i went, are you sure you want take his word for it, he is getting kinda old Quote
