You do all that stuff? Dude, you need to follow the A&B model.... wait until the cliff is all set up, trail in, etc... let them have the 5 star classics. Then you go in and stick clip up the existing line, swing over, drill in hand, pop in the anchors and you're off to the races. Drill, tighten and send all in the same day.Saxman wrote:Yeah, because finding a cliff, making sure it has no access issues and adequate parking, establishing a trail, bushwhacking to the top of the cliff and putting in anchors, clearing out the base of the cliff, and pruning any limbs that go near the route take no time at all. Sure, throwing in a few bolts and scrubbing a little rock is easy.
