Kevin_Ristau Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Sounds like a nice FA. Glad to hear that you will leave it boltless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt.Caveman Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Hey the pin was put there by me not mitch.. as far as I know he's never climbed the route either.. it's a hard to clip spot for gumbies. Put a bolt in it for all I care... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaphappy Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 (edited) Cavey, DeadSpace isn't talking about where your pin is at, he's refering to the roof to the left of it. You traverse a thin seam straight left (from your pin) and pull an awkward roof. No one thinks a bolt should go there, he just wants people to climb his route. It's a rather weak troll. One thing he doesn't mention is that if the leader were to fall and pull the sliders or didn't have them and fell attempting to climb through, the fall would be a pendulum smack onto a steep slab. The .75 Camalot before the roof is bomber and would keep the leader off the deck for sure. That said, leave it boltless.

Crackbolter Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Yes, Troll, chestbeat, etc. Yes, everyone should climb the route. Yes, someone will repeat it. No, don't puT in a pin Tim. what is it with you and pitons? What is wrong with a bolt protecting a groundfall? I say put a bolt in. Better yet spacehead, you and I will go up with a military duffel stuffed with 200lbs of rocks and stuff and throw it off your equalized ballz. Then we can decide if it needs a bolt or not.

Greg_W Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Crankbolter - read above, failure of the sliders will NOT result in a grounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
