Missing car keys
Missing car keys
We were wondering if anybody found some car keys at the Chocolate Factory last Monday.

J-Rock!!?? Seriously, I thought you sold all your gear and started shaving your legs!
Oh man, he is messing that up. However, he is missing his left leg so that way would probably be harder for him. SCIN, just before spraying some beta for a climber doing a route the WRONG way.

Nope, I did quit climbing for a few years to mountain bike. The trails in the Pisgah and the surrounding areas were so phenomenal that I became hooked. It took 2-3 years of riding regularly to complete them all. Then I was enticed by some incredible kayaking in the area. However, I never completely quit climbing. I continued setting routes at the local climbing gym and bolted 8 routes in the Carolinas including a sweet multi-pitch sport route. 8)

I thought sport climbing was declared illegal by the Carolina Trad Climbers Taliban?

Yeah, there are definitely some bold routes in the Carolinas that seldom get repeated because they are so scary.

Re: Missing car keys
I pretty much call shenanigans when someone intentionally "bolds it up" after virtually "bolting it up " using A1 tactix i.e. RBs then removes/fills/erases/ said A1 traces. Not saying that all routes (or even a majority) go down that way, but little bolded up surprises tend to pop up here and there...J-Rock wrote:Yeah, there are definitely some bold routes in the Carolinas that seldom get repeated because they are so scary.
my friend always carries a selection of RBs and an "eagle eye" when Carolinin' adventurin... Re: Missing car keys
Gotta say, that kinda BS gives ground-up climbing a bad name. Once you get to bolt-laddering, just give up and admit it ain't the climb for you!
Re: Missing car keys
The missing car keys were found safely stowed away in our backpack. Mystery solved.

J, it was great to see you and your family and friends over the holiday weekend. We should make it an annual event. Atleast we can get the T-Bone down to the Red once a year! Climb-Safe, Mike.
