Post by: Brad Young on November 27, 2006, 05:06:29 PM: I'm going Friday through Sunday. I could use some help if anyone wants to climb Lava Falls or routes to the right of it, I need to double check bolt counts and locations. I also need a place to stay one or two nights.

Post by: F4? on November 27, 2006, 05:56:47 PM: Let me check with the boss about you crashing at our pad. I don't think it'll be a problem.

I need to decide if I want to work on the ultimate project at the Grotto or go to the Pinns.

Ubber, do you feel up for Lava Falls? Do you feel Ubber enough?

Brad, doesn't Clint have a bolt count of Lava? And when is he ever wrong?

Breaking Sandstone is like breaking bones. Not a good thing.

Post by: The Big on December 04, 2006, 09:50:54 AM: On a different note. climbed Where the Birds Hang and the First pitch of Electric Blue with Brad.

I was way off route on Where the Birds Hang when I noticed the first bolt about 25 ft to my left and a little below me. Reversed to the obvious water streak and climbed up to the bolt. It's actually a kind of cool route. At one point you climb above the trail and there is a fair amount of loose rock up there so utmost <sp> care must be taken. My memory of Electric Blue was not so good. I remember not really liking it. But, it's fairly cool. Not as loose as I remember and some fun moves.
