COL._Von_Spanker Posted December 13, 2002 Author Share Posted December 13, 2002 Yeah, done that. And you never really know what the conditions are like unless yer there. I know avi stuff is serious bid-nass and one must be very diligent with their assessment of conditions before attemping a route in this sort of weather.

Cpt.Caveman Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 RE:Yeah, done that. And you never really know what the conditions are like unless yer there. Â Yeah I predict it will be a terrible dangerous winter. Better go inside next to the fire. I'll climb a route or two let you know how they were. THen you can let me know how you were glad you weren't there. Ok ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 I think the red tape route is "in" at the gym, although the route might not stay "in" for too much longer. Shouldn't be too much avy danger given the low elevation and overhanging nature of the wall. There might also be a yellow tape route in primo conditions right now, but you'll have to scope that one out yourself. The red tape route might get crowded now since everyone now knows that this route is "in" so you might want to get a alpine start. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg_W Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Do you dyno at the crux? What's the M? rating? Â Finish is a dyno, but there's a no-hands rest just prior. It think it's rated M-Scot'teryx; which is way aggro!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_Simpkins Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 I bailed on the hills this weekend. We decided to go down to Larrabee in B'ham and clean aid all the sandstone cracks in the wind and rain by the sea. Fun stuff, 1st class. They are short, but better than watching CNN . Most of the cracks can be done free, but it's something good to do when your desperate in bad weather. Â I reccommend: Railroad Dihedral and Desperation Crack. There are others. Grab some Jo at Tony's when your done . Or a brew at Boundary Bay . Â We'll be down there somewhere if you want a tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
