Loose bolts!!

[waldo]

 I am not sure anything will slot in the direct start seam but will try one of your rp's. Like Angle Iron days pushing stance.

Something is better than nothing, even if it's only for the head. That shorty holder and drill Aaron showed me may come in handy.

Bratton, bored? Stop trolling come Boulder with me instead. risen and all.....

LOL, called out!




And yeah, put some iron in. 40 Hawks is the standard.

I needed a day off from crushing all those 5.7's and 5.8's at the Pinns on Friday.
I am ready to crush tonight.

Mungie, come join us tonight.

Yup, I'm back and leading 5.8....setting sights on Wet Kiss at 5.8+.

Squiddo was rattled at the sight of some of the bolt hangers NOT against the rock. It's a serious matter.

Lock up your daughters and hide your sheep 
The dynamic duo is baaaaaaack.

And don't worry about those loose hangers - if you ask this guy on the forum he will tell you they are FINE.

[mynameismud]

yep no worries, just make sure the bolt does not spin.  But if it is 5.7 then it is probably all good.

[F4?]

It's scary!

I think there are more out there than we think.

The move at the second bolt to reach the pocket is the obvious one. Maybe 5.8/9?

I swore you and Brad both rapped but we walked off.

They rapped to save time for multiple leads or follows and then cleaned and walked off when they finished. I thought the lower crux was 5.8 and the upper crux at bolt 3 was burly 5.9. clink and Julius both tried to psych me out saying how burly it was and that I might want to TR it before leading. I don't think clink has ever led it. Imo no one should be rating a climb after climbing it on TR

good thing this advice is free!

[NOAL]

what if it's a TR route? 3.......2..............1.......

[mynameismud]

the rating is the same, tr or lead.

[JC w KC redux]

TR's aren't routes - they are TR's.

the rating is the same, tr or lead.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one - I hate that saying!

[mynameismud]

TR's aren't routes - they are TR's.

TR's, they are routes, just like a solo is a route.  I have done both, either is valid.  Even boulder problems are routes, a bit weird but still a route.

Too bad Brad doesn't believe that latter statement.
clink says it's not a route unless it has a bolt 

[mynameismud]

clink has issues....

[clink]

My recent nonbolted nonroute is not named Tongue in Cheek 5.9, it is a merely a figment.

[mynameismud]

is there a lack of wind in the windmills of your mind?

[F4?]

well when you rap bolt a route, you need to TR it 1 or 2 times to tape the bolt placements.

Then lead once the bolts are installed.

Lot's of thinking.

[mynameismud]

There is definitely a lack of wind in the windmills of your mind
