If you want a complete list of the training anchors at the red: here ya go
http://www.redriverclimbing.com/RRCGuide/
Well I went there, and read every description and comment for the walls Jeff listed:

Solar Collector and Gold Coast: no mention

Left Field: no mention

The Shire: no mention

Volunteer Wall: no mention

Chica Bonita Wall: In a comment I saw "The two short training routes and anchors were installed by Mark for UCLIMB." I wonder if he is talking about training anchors, or just anchors for those routes.

Well do you know of a way to use the guide to find training anchors, because I can't?


I guess I will just take Jeffs word for it, he has been on this site for 8 years. Still if he is wrong about any of them, I will hunt him down, and let all the route setters kill me since KD said they are really mad now. I was just told by someone on this site recently, that climbers love to fck with other climbers, and I give it one try and everyone is mad... I bet it's because redpoint did it.

p.s. I think route setting is awesome, and I know one day I'll be doing it in the Red(be scared). I am getting ready to buy some bolting equipment for vertical caving soon, just handdrill type stuff. O and I found a great teacher who has a ton of experience bolting.

Funny you should say that, my last post just got twice as long while you were typing your post.

take away the sharp objects now....first, we are not "route setters". that's what underemplyed brahs do at the indoor gyms to impress the three girls who climb there, and to show their bros how strong they are.

secondly, you had it right to start. jeff does suck..lee is just delusional.

Ya ya route developers, I'm a total gumby remember. I don't even know how to train correctly on training anchors.

I'm bored and I can't even watch TV because it is hurting my head, I have the flu.

I think I will take you in to the mind of Redpoint, or at least in the virus filled mind of Redpoint. Braaaains!

So I am reading the funny comments people started posting after Jeff's comment "Its like training wheels only for sport climbing....duh!!!..." and then I decided, I bet I can make a funny comment about training anchors too.

I am thinking "anchors, anchors, anchors" and that's when the Ro quote popped in to my head "if you pitch while clipping the anchors, you will join the majority" but it was in my own words. I then lol'd because I knew just what to type; I need training anchors to train for clipping the anchors on Ro.

I decided that I might look dumb if I type that, because you all might take me seriously. I then thought of adding the extra joke about Jeff not having enough experience, so that everyone would definitely know I was joking.

I kept thinking that it would be really funny if at least a few people did take me seriously, and so that's when I decided I should act all serious in the sentence before the [training for Ro on training anchors] sentence.

I thought, how can I be all serious, this is just the internet, and nobody can even see my facial expression. But then it hit me, when people act all mean and snobby, people almost always take them serious.

Well I had the mean part down "Could someone with a little bit more experience than say Jeff please reply", but I needed to add something snobby. I decided to go for a know it all attitude and went with "because I seriously doubt all those walls have training anchors."

Well at least I made krampus laugh so hard he thought he would loose his breakfast: "krampus: laughed so hard that I thought would loose my breakfast".

To conclude, as long as I touched one persons heart out there and filled it with laughter and joy, I regret nothing.

P.S. Everyone has to be nice to me, I'm sick.

Clipping the chains on ro is the easiest part of teh route, but, crack attack is probably better training for it then the learning to clean anchors.

As for those, we have plenty of hardware, and it is a better place to use it, then bolting another 2 star choss pile.

Can't believe I read this . . . . I only did because my crazy climbing partner brought it up while we were going to the gorge.
redpoiint wrote:all i am saying is that if I want to onsight Ro then I should have some practice anchors to practice my clipping on because the guidebook says that you need to clip the anchors and I want to get down from Ro after I onsight aka flash it an if you dont know about that then you are dum because thats the first thing you do on a climb is to know how to clip the anchors.
Whatever . . . what happened to the Twinkie project? :shock: You made an F-ing website devoted to the Twinkie project. Now you are coming with the Ro thing . . . FOCUS! :shock:
