In reply to: In reply to: I gotte remember to put some clippers in the van. Dear god. You've got to be kidding. Fukkin vegitation... Vegitation = Choss When I maybe get to do 2 days of climbing a month, I'm not so keen on spending that valuable time as a lawn service. Tell you what, it's not the fire season. How about I bring a jug of gas, we pour it down from the top, then go climb something else after tossing a carefully calibrated match. You see? Ideas like this are why they pay me the big bucks.
darn I just remembered something. Acouple of years ago I pulled a ton of poison ivy off of a face there. I never did go back and climb it

Well Melissa, you are supposed to be an old, crotchety fat male to be a real trad climber. After seeing you in person, I don't think you fit the bill.

Haha, there are a few climbs like that, one's been puuled out from under a roof for petes sake, I forget the name though, adn one is waiting to be done-- just covered in PI. Where is your face Stephen? I wonder ifthe vines grew back yet?

Hmmm, if it is that caver aluminum hanger it is a little left of the true P1 for the OR according to SP, and it seems to be a little low down for a rescue. How did tha tbolt wind up there? Seems like a rap on two 50's from the start of P4 would put you higher than that bolt. Or maybe I'm talking about a different bolt?

I don't know, maybe it was pulled...all I know is my good friend busted his ankle on that ledge and a bolt was placed on the P1 slab for him to get down.

I felll out of the ankle breaker slot 4 times before I got up it, the stupid thing was wet and you couldn't get your hands up the little rail at all that day. I can see how if you twisted wrong as you fell your foot could stay in the slot a little too long adn break the ankle. I think mine was a little sore.
The only bolt I know of on that slab is pretty low down, between 40 and 60 feet up the slab? Maybe they had a long rope and got to that bolt spot from the P4 belay. that would maybe be 200 feet or so? I don't know, just guessing.

Any bolt that may have on the actual route was not present last spring.
So who's coming, Melissa, Travis, Curt? Curt, are you going to the "bigdaddy" faceoff?

I'm just a young punk. Just barely drinking legal. There are few things I enjoy more than antagonizing the old guys. You should have seen what me and crowder got into a few months back. Now THAT was some grade A flaming.
Hahaha, thinking about it still makes me laugh.

LOL the "faceoff", is not goingto be a faceoff at all, I don't go climbing to face off with other climbiers. But it looks like we will get to do a good route together before long.
Travis is all flame and no heat LOL. But I think he puts the testosterone to use on the hotties at UT.
So Travis, are you still coming to Lost wall friday and satureday or is it a bail? Enquiring minds want to know!

Jeff, if it was dry that day you went, you woudl not have seen the bolt if it is the one I am thinking of. It's over left. IT's also too low to do much good on the ascent, which makes me think it must be where the longest rap would take the rescue party. I guess.

Hey Crawler, I think I stumbled upon one of your problems at Oconee the other day. A smooth face with acrack and a rounded arete just to the right. It was fun.

There is a bolt out in the middle of the big slab, about 3/4 of the way up I think. My understanding is this is not the original first pitch of the OR. My understanding is that the first pitch goes up the slab about half way between that bolt and the shortest way to the ledge on the far right. About 100ft of unprotected slab. 7ish.
