Do it.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

If a list of climbs with historical anchors (tat, left nuts or what not) was compiled with photo proof. Would that be enough of a defensible item to be allowed to climb at least some of the routes at Kentucky Wall? Kentucky Wall is clear to climb. The only dispute around the wall is about a few anc...

That route is amazing! You only need a double rack to climb it. That photo isn't of me, I was the belayer though. Eric Davenport and I have the potential FA. I say potential because we found an old Tnut on the route(20-30ft off the deck)the last time we went out there. It had "UCMC" writte...

I went back to one of the climbs after a winter season and a nut that couldn't be hammered out in the fall was easily lifted out the next spring. I'm not trying to sling a bunch of unnecessary steel in t...

Long story short...he didnt care if we go out and establish new trad routes. Of the 100 or so routes we have established, less than 10 have had the...

I think that would be Tree Hugging Hippy. Did you rap off of a tree using old rope for tat? Squirrel Nut Zipper ends under a roof....
