Eureka chopped again!

Post by Guest »

I went to Global Village this weekend and thought I'd do that pile Eureka to warm up. It's been chopped again, so I led it on gear.

So who is responsible for this heinous deed this time??

That may explain why I couldn't find it Tuesday. (Either that or I can read a topo, we're still working on that one)

I've never seen Eureka but, if it can be done with gear, then why does it need bolts? Was it done to add an easy sport route to the list or what? What's it like on gear? I might do it on gear if it pro's well.

That's pretty messed up. I really liked that route and it was definitely one of the best learning routes for beginners.

Maybe the bolts just fell off. It could happen.

That sucks, that was a fun lead for sport. If it was trad-able then i can see why the bolts got chopped, but not many beginners know how to trad and that route is perfect for a begining lead climber.

Anser me this. Why must a route be ONLY sport, or Trad (mixed not included). With so many places for gear, why can't a climb just BE, regardless of the genre? Jacka$$es.

I think the dude that chopped them did so he could use the bolts on Father & Son.
Not a bitch.
