J-tree (Intersection Rock): that guy soloing Double Cross doesn't look like he knows what he's doing. Neither does that one, or that one. I hope they don't fall.

robdotcalm wrote: petsfed wrote: Vedauwoo - "the locals are fuckin' sandbaggers!" By the way Rob, despite what your book says, Hideaway Chimney is not now, nor has it ever been 5.7. It is easier than Ed's, which is soft for 5.7. What are you talking about? On p. 34 of "Rock Climbing at Vedauwoo, Wyoming" it states: "Hide-A-Way Chimney 5.5. Looks are deceiving, this classic climb is not 5.10. There are handholds hidden inside." Petsfed, time for you to get a new set of bifocals. Cheers, Rob.calm
Correction, it says
"5. Hide-A-Way Chimney 5 Looks are deceiving-this climb is not 5.10 since there handholds hidden inside. FA: Mike Dewey, Bob Toryton, Bob Aksamit, 1964."
Who proof read that? College professors. I tell ya.

Gunks, Joshua Tree, Yosemite, Eldorado, etc. - Nobody goes there anymore, it's way too crowded.

Gunks
i hate it when u just get start wlaking back to your car after leading like 3 or 4 climbs, and all the boulderers(spelled wrong im sure) are looking at you as if your some kinda noob and ur walking in their space as u return to the car.
i love to boulder too, but it every time i leave there i feel like im getting a stare down from the boulderers
