NOTICE: Leave No Trace Behind policy also applies to Marshall Crag!

This Saturday, one wine bottle, two wine glasses, two coffee mugs, a few lamb skews (without the lamb!), abandoned contorted athletic tapes and lousy non-reuseable tape gloves (that's it, I'm locking up my tapes!) were removed from the crag during a cleanup project (only one person participated).

For those who apologized, no need to apologize. It makes me sound like a demanding clean freak :oops: I'm definitely NOT! I'm not, I'm not, not, not...

oh, i see. I thought we were calling it the Foothill crag since it is near the Foothill Expressway climbing area.

Btw, uber, have you seen the aid lines over there? We can do those in the rain, i think. There's also the south san jose pin lines. But with everyone freaking about 'terrorists' hanging out on concrete overpasses it isn't very conducive to being left to climb.

Dietchman and I were going to do some glue ups over near our places too. Covered from rain. Low key area too.

Good old foothill wall. That's where my bro and I learned to climb. For aid lines the bolted roof is pretty cool. You'd be best to keep it REALLY low key, like going there at night with a very dim headlamp. The train comes on a set schedule, which I can't remember. Around 4pm it rolls in and can't say when it returns.

If you get caught, well you really don't want to cuze there is bad blood btw the RR and climbers. I've heard folks getting threatened with felony tresspassing and or vandalizim (that was 10yrs ago so don't quote me).

better yet establish an aid line under the bridge near Marshall crag.

mungeclimber · « **Reply #31 on:** April 10, 2006, 02:21:37 PM »

I'm all for establishing.

Where is this place? pm me.

F4? · « **Reply #32 on:** April 10, 2006, 02:32:20 PM »

For more history on foothill wall, we'll have to get squiddo over for a session before he heads to France. He and a buddy of ours put some of the stuff up.

Squiddo, when do you fly out? Have you packed your tights? :oops:

squiddo · « **Reply #33 on:** April 10, 2006, 04:05:56 PM »

Bratton....to touch the Foothill Tunnel crag you must step into the time machine from the 80's called, LYCRA!!!!! Come on man don't be shy..break out the pink and blus spandex. Bring some spray paint while you're at it and tag away.

I fly out this Friday...still planning on taking the train to the Font at least once (or twice if I am forced to hit too many museums). Hope it ends well though and not with me sleeping in the bush with a bivy coat after getting lost in the brush!

coupla pretty dicey lookin aid lines there.

i learned the hard way there that cams dont hold well on smooth concrete splitters that are soaking wet.

i hear that, Green River overpass in So Cal. Metolius TCUs don't hold and will butterfly open on concrete splitters, and if your lucky catch at a constriction lower down. skeerred!

The bat hooks and 2 copperheads route is pretty good tho.

I used to spend a fair amount of time down at the Foothill wall during the 80's and I never wore lycra, although I think we through a few sport climbers under some trains.

clipping!

squiddo · « **Reply #38 on:** April 11, 2006, 11:55:43 AM »

Doooood that was me! Man...god thing I was all lithe and shit as it helped me bounce outta the way!
