Very true my man, but I figured mine as well name it until someone sends it. It would not look very good nameless in the guide. Just trying to keep it creative. I am not saying I am the FA, I am not saying I sent it. I don't count pink points or any of that other stuff ya named as an FA. Hell, when ...

Yo fellas... I did put anchors on the trad route to the left of Wobbler and I am gonna call it: The Wondrous Boat Ride 5.10c, sticking with the Chocolate Factory theme! As for the Seam Project, I was thinking Peligroso or Glumptious Globgobbler 5.12aR... Thanks Pigsteak for the offer, but I am gonna...

I switched out the chains today with some beefier ones. Also removed the stray bolt. The route will go on gear, around a 5.12aR. Open Project.

Yo Sandman, I put the anchors in and the bolt. I am heading back out there this weekend to take out the one bolt on it. I have done the route on top rope a couple of times, but never from the ground up. The only gear in the seam is at the bottom (TCU's) and the micro nut that you placed. It is a lit...

I would have to agree with this philosophy. In my experience, I do not count a route as being sent unless I have led it clean. I do spray my top rope success , but only as a reminder to go back one day and complete the send. I also believe that you don't get the full experience of the climb unless y...

To bolt or not to bolt: That is the question

Hola amigos,

I have a question that I am just curious on what everybody else thinks: Would you bolt a crack/seam that protects with sketchy small nuts into a cool, protected sport route?

Salud!

Chocolate Factory

Hey just wondering what the crack to the left of J-Rat's Back at the Chocolate Factory is??? It does have anchors about 3/4 the way up the crack with some draws on them. The crack took gear well, overall a fun route. I would think that it is somewhere around mid 10. I noticed that it is not listed i...
