H&L Slaughterhouse? Question for Gavin
« on: August 09, 2014, 05:00:41 PM »
 Aaron and traipsed around the Feather Canyon wall today doing the mental FAs of numerous routes. I decided that along with recognizing toprope FAs mentally climbing a line should be considered a FA as well. I admit to using aid on one of the MFAs I did today, but only a 3 bolt ladder. MFAs are not to be confused with ACTUAL FAs. They are really cool though.

 I also had a new record amount of dirt stuck on me today after a Pinns outing.

 So Gavin, the insides of those corridors are littered with bird pieces. Is this the work of the peregrine pair that nested in the area?

There is nothing to see there other than bird shit and feathers.
Just keep on moving...to say Condor Crags or the Unmentionable.

Squiddo and I pissed on the whole area years ago.

 This wasn't just feathers, shredded birds, whole wings...

 One of my friends wanted to be a falconeer. He raised pigeons and would carry this white one named Gandalf around on his arm. A couple years later he was raising his first redtailed hawk in his old pigeon coop. In a short time the hawk figured out how to rip the pigeons walking on top the coop through the lattice when it's normal rat feeding was overdue.

 As far as some great quality rock, we didn't find any, but many corridors and chimneys, and  some lower angle rock with decent holds. As Aaron says "adventure climbing"
 Damn it got hot enough.

 Munge could go bananas up there for at least one day and I want to watch. Is there a 5.5  5/6 pitch route or just dirt and a rotten rockfest?

 I sense a convergence of the choss minded. I did throw up some apple into the choss  guzzling too much water when we got back to our packs.

 Applechoss :)

 Cross cross? Another Mungism I have to ask the explanation to.

 4****? Let's see 0*x0*=? I know what to do with the zeros but what about the stars?

 I am claiming the MFA of Hard as a Rock. Geoff and I scoped it out. He says "it looks like it will go around 5.7" I wasn't sure we were looking at the same thing so I had to interrupt my MFA to glance at Geoff's face, yep, we were both looking at the same line. What a moron. I have never let him forget it:)

 Since I had to interupt my MFA, it was a "take". Which means I didn't get the MFA onsight.

 I am almost giddy with joy at how disgusted Brad is going to be with this. He will mentally start arguing the deniability of MFAs, while having to admit he has done many himself.

You may have done it in the 80's but Clink was the first to report the MFA. The MFA goes to Clink.

Kind of.... Better i show you in person.
It would be easier if there was a topo. Maybe in the next guide.


Hey mud, did you actually piss there versus checking it out from a far? It makes a difference.

Maybe squiddo will pipe in, slacker.

Hey, I know where it is - at least I did twenty years ago.  Clink, I never do MFAs.  I like to be surprised.
