I guess in these days it is easy to assume that an image has been photoshopped. This one, however, hasn't been. The route exists. It's called Russian Roulette, is rated 5.10a, and annak has the FA. Several rc.com users have looked at and/or climbed the route. I suppose I can provide a full list of references, if you really think it's necessary.

fresh from THIS morning!!!!
The route is in a rock by the beach, its base is the nothing but the sidewalk!!
The topo says "if you can't clip the first bolt, stand on the bike rack" (or whatever is called that place where you lock your bike to so it doesn't get stolen)
turned out the bike rack was too short, oh, well, maybe a trash can will do the trick!!
I don't know what is sadder, this poor form or the grafiti on the rock...
p.s. we didn't finish the route, the place has restricted access and we got kicked out before reaching 4th bolt...

Sounds like a fantastic area. I assume this is somewhere in California?

I think so, but I can't say for sure as I haven't been there.

No, it's not a rap station. Haven't you guys ever seen a sport-bolted crack?

I notice you're not helping some big, burly dude back on the route. Where's that other hand going?
I don't know if it's bad form, but it's funny helping someone back on the opening moves of a route. Is the opening sequence difficult? Edit: From the brief description, that seems to be the case. I might have done the same.

I've seen one at the New, hands down the worst route I've ever been on (route quality had nothing to do with bolting however). The local ethic 'round these parts is 100% opposed to anything that isn't ground-up, and as far as turning a hand crack into a sport route, that'd be a laughable waste of time and hardware, as there'd be folks chopping that shit ground-up before you'd finished installing the anchors.

Are you joking? Because if you really believe that, you are seriously deluded. I don't even climb at the New, and I know that rap bolting is ubiquitous there.

Dude, the New is in WV. I live in NC.
*edited to add:
What folks choose to do in WV at their crags is their business, more power to em. I daresay the NC locals aren't apt to suffer such foolishness as rap-bolting hand cracks.

Probably true. Of course glancing at the text below my avatar that explicitly states I'm from NC also goes a long way towards clearing any confusion. YMMV.

That's not the point. When the first sentence of your paragraph says something like, "At the New..." and the next sentence says, "Around these parts...," then "these parts" refers to the last agreeing antecedent in the paragraph (the New), not to your local residence. If you want "these parts" to refer to somewhere else, then you have to state where explicitly, like, "In contrast, around these parts in North Carolina...". Of course, it would be clearer still to just drop the "arround these parts" altogether, in favor of the simpler "where I live."
I'm available for math help, too.
Jay

This sure is a great thread!!!
I really wish I could find it, but because Yahoo sucks balls I can't, but my friend has a picture of a girl belaying her husband in Little Cottonwood, while reading a book, the entire time, and while belaying at multiple belay stations.
