Open project at the gallery...

Post by Wes »

Hey, I bolted a line at the gallery that might be a bit to hard (5.13ish ??)for me to do in the near future, so I am going to open it up. However, it needs another bolt and it is NOT SAFE at this point. There is a ground fall potential from kinda high up if you blow a clip. So, I plan on adding another bolt, but not sure when I will be able to get out there. If you are intrested in working / sending the route, PM me and I will give you the beta on where the bolt needs to be. It also still needs some cleaning. It is a super pretty route, with cool moves, and I would hate for people to miss out on it this year because of my lazy ass. There is a biner with a red tag on the first bolt, please leave that on until the bolt job is fixed. It is easy to rig a TR to check it out, as it shares the anchors with Break the scene, and super cool 11d/12a...

Oh, and the name is just what I gave it. It doesn't have to remain that, if you send.

I bolted the line to the right of Break the Scene. It too needs ALOT of cleaning, but it is open. I haven't been down to the Southern Region in a bit, and doubt I will anytime soon.

this is getting to be fun..I ALSO bolted a line at the gallery that is probably over my head....I am giving it til the end of the year, and if I don't send it, it'll will be an open project as well. my route is the furthest left, about 150 feet to the left of Davinci's Left Ear. (called "Ivy League")

I'll take your project at Sunnyside if you're giving things away, Pigsteak.

Andrew, All three routes are super pretty. One-fall's line is outstanding looking, mine has an OK start to really cool, bouldery seam. And the pigsteak line is a cool dihederalish feature. Still a couple-three hard lines to bolt up there as well.

so you've seen it SCIN? looks pretty cool, eh? that one should go down easily, as soon as I get out there....bummer part is, I wanted it to climb the arete up high, and there ends up being an easier version that stays on the face out right. hopefully I'll get on it this coming weekend or the last weekend in October.

tell ya what SCIN...if I don't send that thing in the next 5-10 burns, you can have it. (I'll be fed up by then)

It makes me happy to see this approach to developing. You guys are obviously doin this for the community more than ego. My two thumbs up for the progressive approach to projects.

yeah you guys are cool to not be so competitive about new routes.

I have a question though what is the area just before Purgatory called as you are walking from Shady Grove. Don't think I see it in the online guide, I think Sunshine may have called it Inner Circle last year but not sure.
