So what’s left?

Where the birds hang, well it’s best left to the birds.
Pidgon crack, nope that’s out.

What’s left?

Condorks' second pitch...

Dude you stole my route!! Yes a 2nd pitch is needed.

After climbing (read: summitting) on tunnel wall today, I spotted three bolts leading up and left on (the imposing west face of) Chaos Crag. The third bolt had a locking biner on it, and I could not see any bolts above it...

When I see one of those I usually go up and replace it with a combination locker... or a bag a poop.

Brad said, "you guys used up all the good rock on the first pitch".

I beg to differ. I really want to climb that fin up above. Is Brad getting picky these days...?

Bet it was nice on that wall today. You didn't get to enjoy climbing the Tunnel Traverse before I replaced the bolts.

Pretty sweet now but I have never seen anyone on those climbs. I enjoyed them all including (presumably) Mr. Mud's evil run to the first bolt on Babies on the Ceiling.

JC,

too lazy to grab my book... but I did the 5.7 immediately left of the tunnel... Tunnel Traverse starts on the right side, and climbs over it, yeah? looks really fun. i'll do it on my next high peaks forray

i always do that other one though (to the left of tunnel), it's a great, long, steep, and exciting route... and a good one on which to throw down the rope when your partner is just starting to get sick of the hike

Brave man Zay, there was a nice PO bush at the base of Train Spotting

You’ve been threatening to add a second pitch to that for years now. Hurry up and get on it before you need a walker to get to the base. Hell, it’ll at least kinda keep you out of trouble (something needs to).

But I meant what I said: the rock above is crap and it’s covered with moss. Unless you move left, but then you’re getting onto the Great Chimney routes.

Keep us posted 😉

Definitely move to the left. So you didn't go around and see what we left there?

You’ll be climbing on decades old routes that way....

Brad Young · « **Reply #17 on:** January 16, 2021, 09:35:34 PM »

Speaking of which, both Great Chimney routes are very worthwhile. You should go climb them because they’re worthwhile, and to figure out where they are compared to Condorks. Hint: the original Great Chimney route is not that far to the left.

anything next to 'if you bolt it they will come' in the other water streak? also thoes SMC hangars are getting kinda rusty

NOAL · « **Reply #19 on:** January 26, 2021, 02:44:59 PM »

"If we bolt it " is one of Clint and Mr.Muds routes. If you think the bolts need to be replaced you should contact Clint. Clint and Bruce are the experts (and John Cook) on bolt replacements for Pinnacles and the contacts for F.O.P and the ASCA for the park.

Is'nt If we bolt it included in the closures?
