hahaha, very funny. Make fun a me just because I am not that well endowed, and can't crimp to save my life. Well, I AM a BAD ASS TRAD CLIMBER, no matter what you think. 5.11+ is a very hard grade to climb when you can't crimp and have an ego as big as mine to carry up a route. So, back off, or I will make up a ryme about you

Yes, you are quite the BAD ASS TRAD CLIMBER. I mean shit, do you see anyone ELSE who sent Souders Crack ON LEAD?

What's the deal with that thing that it has to be done on TR instead of lead?

You probably don't want to fall on any of the gear-- it gets placed behind a very fragile flake.

Dare I commit heresay (again) and wonder if it might benefit from a few bolts? Assuming the FA doesn't mind, it seems ripe for bolting. Don't get me wrong, I'm not for bolting every crack around, but when you get something that can't really be climbed on gear and has to be TR'd anyway...

Since you can drop a TR on it right from the anchors of Rock Wars, I would veto the idea of bolting it. That's just me, though, and I don't know the deal with new bolts at Long Wall.

So just don't fall. Duh.

We should grid bolt your kitchen . Why stop there. Lets grid bolt your whole house and all your friends houses too.

Let's not go overboard. How about we just start with the living room and see what happens. I'm pretty sure you can get some gear in around the cabinets but the fridge will still be an R route, X if you top it out.

BTW, I've never seen any of these routes and have no idea what it's like to hang a rope on them. I just wanted to sample the wisdom of the masses who have been there ahead of me to get a better idea of what was up with such an odd looking route, at least on paper. Makes sense now to not bolt it. I am curious how far apart the anchors are though.

Hell no no bolts. Its fully leadable.
