Muir Madness

Post by J-Rock »

I just wanted to say how cool it was to see 6 different people simultaneously bolting routes together on one amazing, aesthetic, tall, sunny and steep wall last Saturday. One 5.11, four 5.12's, and two 5.13's went up on one extremely productive day! Not bad! The best part was the teamwork, camaraderie and group effort of all involved. :D

The bad part is that the camera batteries were dead when I tried to take a picture of 5 developers all drilling different routes at the same time. Damn, it would have been such a cool photo! :x

The echos from 6 hammer drills must have been quite loud.... :)

Are there going to be any long-ish lower grade routes going up in the valley? It looked all the sustained routes are really hard. It's just that I'm a pussy, see.

Yes, it's the wall across from the Great Wall. Longer more moderate routes will be coming on the next crag we will be developing this spring. Rick found another area this winter close by that should also produce some moderate routes.

The area soon to be known as Solarium should be open in few weeks. There still many routes in progress at this time.

Just curious... Out of the 6 new routes going up at once, were any of them done on lead?
weather is occurring.

Are you asking if they were bolted on lead? DUUUUUUDE! I wasn't there, but I doubt the answer is yes, as the Solarium is very very steep - and the grades are estimated to be in the 12's and up.

Now, if you're asking if they've been led yet and the FA established, then.... I dunno..... :?

he is asking if they were bolted on lead..that is a standard question, because back in the day, when climbing actually abided by ethics, establishing on lead was considered a pure ascent. toady's rap bolting is for the masses, with no concern for historical context..we see a new blank wall, and by god, it is ours to proliferate with new hardware. long live bosch!!!!
