You mean I won't be able to campus any routes? I did laugh when a route description listed the climbing as "steep slab". What exactely does that mean?That's about as hokey as a compassionate conservative.

Yeah, I always wondered if people knew what they were talking about when they called a slab "steep".

As for the bolt on BMT, yeah it needs replaced. I really can't argue that because it's really almost like not even having a second bolt at this point. As for someone having the ability to do the climb but still falling 2 to 3, that falls under my "have your beta worked out in your head beforehand" statement.

RR, get ready to get your fingers all tweaked out at shelf. Sharp limestone pocket and edges.

Sure enough t bone. Just abused myself out at Smith two weeks ago. Couldn't have had a better time.
