Who is going down this weekend?

Brad Young · « **Reply #1 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.

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?

I gotz a project too, but need we'd need a fourth for even numbers.

I remember there being enough bolts on Lava Falls. Well, at least the first pitch. Whoever (!!)I was climbing with that day didn't want that one...

And, actually, Factor, in sevral instances Clint's counts have been less than perfect. I'm hoping that my work combined with his will be just right.

Aye, but the route; she was fun, eh? I don't think I even broke any holds...

some argue that unless you break them, you aren't having fun.

unlike PL rock foot holds.

Breaking mud is like breaking bread. Not a bad thing.

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

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.

And rapping off the second pitch of Where the Birds Hang was some of the biggest air I've had on a long time! Interesting route, but kind of cruddy.
