and thanks for noticing.

thanks for sucking, rockman

I suppose I would have had a more favorable impression if I had been talking to you Lurkist instead of listening to Terry rant because some sport climber asked him to fix a bolt. It's good to see that bolters care more now than in the past. I've used the scary bedrail hangers with holes so small you couldn't get a locker in it and the hammered pins at Tower and Raven's Rock and the ancient pitons at Seneca. Wes is right. That stuff is a time bomb and springtime will tell.
Several routes had anchors fixed through ARI and I think Team Suck did a lot of it. Good work but there is lots more that need some attention.

I've heard alot of sport climbers bitch about bolts that seem just fine.

Then again, SCIN and I use to rap off of slotted knots of webbing so we could steal the old gear at the anchors. Rusty bolts seemed BOMBER!!!

I found two or three of those too. One was on Cavers. Who the hell can't get up Cavers? was that you Piggy?

Great thread Wes!

my prediction for 2008 is that republicans will take the office again and ban all things fun promptly eliminating the need for this thread as rock climbing and even park entering will no longer be permitted.

ynot is right! Whoever did the FA of Cavers should get their ass out of the nursing home, cinch up the colostomy bag and replace that bolt! I mean obviously its their responsibility to the community who aren't capable of looking out for their own safety. Rock climbing, even sport climbing, is inherently dangerous. That said, I'd be totally psyched to lend a hand with the re-equipping at Funk Rock. It's overdue.

in crust we trust.
