Wadcutter sucks huh?

wadcutter is a lot of fun actually. I don't know though, I think that JH hates that route.

I balk going to the anchors...they scare me.

That is a B/S move.The last time I tried it.I grabbed a handfull of mud at the clipping hold.Yikes!

wadcutter is a good route, it's just hard to the anchors..maybe 5.9+ would be a better rating

I haven't really found it hard, it's just heady. The potential pendulum scares the poopie out of me.

Last time I did Wadcutter was late this spring and it was humid and seeping, so I got a variety of 'handfull(s) of mud' and slime. It took me four separate attemtps to find a way to clip the anchors (grabbing the chains didn't work - slime on stainless = no grip!) I finaly found a dry undercling about 4' below the chains - I'm sure it looked stylish to be clipping from a long, long reach off an undercling, drop-kneed, but it sucked.

Normally, though, it's a pretty fun route.

By the way, back to the original (albeit sarcastic) point to this thread - half naked people! Wasn't there supposed to be a photo of a certain person (whose name and profession dare not be spoken

*) climbing? It isn't on the paper's web version of the article! Has anyone scanned it and put it up in the gallery? (Perhaps with a black bar over said person's eyes to protect his/her privacy?*)

Or are we at risk of being offended by his/her half-nekkedness?*

(* note: sarcastic, silly comment)

Actually Tom, I was climbing totally naked in the picture so there are plenty of black bars to be had. You have to look at the picture with 3D goggles though or it loses the effect. 8)

The pic wasn't online, I know. Sorry man. I have extra copies! Everyone keeps bringing me more.
