I spoke with Dave at wicked gravity about those bolts. He's going to look into the cost. After he gets them in Canada shipping is cheap the only expensive part is shipping them across the boarder.
I have some big glue-ins now in my possession. I've been giving the eyes a few coats of primer and paint today.
You should ask him if he would be interested in being the distributor for those twisted glue-ins.

There was some highland renaissance festival near Detroit last weekend. They were talking about it while I was driving through.
Canmore games are one of the bigest in the area. Should be good. Hoping that i get in free again this year. They typically mistake me for a competator there.
Just found out that after close inspection of photo's and the cliff my climbing partner is certain that we are only about 30m (or less) from the top of the cliff on the new route! Whoo! That means that next day out there we should be able to push it to the top, clean a bit of the to dangerous to clean while leading and seconding blocks on rap, and possibly do the full clean accent! the only pitch that we hanev't climbed clean yet is the one we're working on right now, pitch 4 (pitch 5 if you don't have a 70m rope).

I didn't drop him. But we did do a pretty good tour of Donner and the Truckee crags. I am too tired to mess with photos, but they will be out this week. Off to the Leap tomorrow. Any takers?

Why not just rap in and clean and bolt it?
Ground up man. Ground up.
Outside of difficulties finding the topout from above, and the time it would take to climb another route to the top (much faster than walking around), there's no need to rap to clean or finish the line as there really are no deathblocks that are goign the treaten us completing the route ground up. If there was undue risk to complete the FA ground up, sure we'd rap in, clean, bolt where needed, ect. But, when there is no need for that why not do it in a better style. Right.
