OK, well then here are my two tips:

1. Get a different belayer. That guy looks like he is about to fall down.
2. Climb the intended route and stay out of the moss.

Sage advise. Wet sage, but sage none the less.

Ubber was fine because that bush/tree was in fall line below would have absobed the fall.

Yah, that belayer looks a bit soggy.

There is no way he would hit the ground from that height.

Hand that man a beer.

Agreed, he wouldn't hit the ground but he might set you up for a fly set of new front teeth.

Isn't that the second quickdraw by his right foot? If so, he wouldn't fall more than 6 feet max. And I guess that means he's on route... Plastic boots and crampons might be a good idea- that could open up whole faces previously thought unclimbable! I'm going to sharpen them right now!

I can't see the bolt next to his foot.

If there's a bolt at his foot, then I've lost all respect for Ubber. You'd think the Old E would have given him the huevos to get past his last bolt, way past. Jim would have soloed it, I mean placed a bolt way high up.

salad · « **Reply #12 on:** September 17, 2008, 12:04:04 PM »

there is no bolt at his foot. at that point, the bolt you see half way down was the only bolt.

F4? · « **Reply #13 on:** September 17, 2008, 02:22:42 PM »

Then he was hozed!

squiddo · « **Reply #14 on:** September 17, 2008, 02:23:02 PM »

AH! As I thought. Landshark, DIE

If only Jeff would have fallen from there. It would have made this a groundbreaking ascent.

squiddo · « **Reply #16 on:** September 17, 2008, 03:04:51 PM »

HA! That's funny.....someone would have lost some teeth though.

What was even better was that shortly after the pic was taken, the drunken belayer was goofing off and tripped, almost pulling me off. I gave him a flying "hug" after I put in the second bolt and came down - to show my appreciation for his attentiveness.

You guys be trippin'. Check it out:

Whatever Landshark circled, it's not a bolt. Clint and I did the second (??) and certainly last ever ascent of this route (ATDS). The second of two bolts is to Jeff's right, and above the height of his head (that is, in the photo, the bolt hadn't been placed yet).
