So you're thinking it will be dry enough? Is Disco wall a better choice than Machete?

Don't ever say that "Disxx" word. Not ever. It is dead.

it could be as well. more options like the sisters in addition to Discovery Wall. That's my opinion.

Muchshitty could work as I would like to add a bolt a a climb (per one of the FAist).

For bolt ladders there's Bills Bad Bolts and Dedelus.

I'm pretty much set on West Side or High Peaks - projecting and doing some laps on something for enduro. I may hike the high peaks anyways at beginning or end of the day, but if Spyork or Joe or Factor has something in mind I'm amenable. Not much interested in Disco. Maybe Gerties.

Sorry Munge, I have a Red Rocks trip in a month. I need to climb as many hard routes that I can. Running laps on Destiny or the Flumes wall just won't cut it.

Spyork- Go for Rock Around the Clock, just don't break anything. Be sure to bring your wire brush.

I'm thinking about backing out. I dont want Clint and bhilden after me with Yo hammers. I can always leave it for a drier day.

I think we'll head for Discovery or Sisters to get started on Saturday morning. If you're over that way, I've got one of the old orange Edelrid helmets. So, shout a hello.
I'm probably the last person to figure this out, but I just found the bird closure map. How serious are they about this?

very, don't even think about it. More than any fine, you'll risk the balance between climbers and the rangers.

Have fun.

Factor, laps on Machete Direct and SoD will get you strong. Then there is Toogs Trailside. Somebody bolt that line left of Machete Direct.

And, would someone please free the second pitch of SOD already. How long is this going to take. The suspense is killing me.

SOD??

sorry, never mind. Son Of Dawn.

They bolted the line with the idea of most of it free climb-able. But man, it needs more cleaning. Squiddo can attest to it

echo what Squiddo says about raptor closures. it's not about disturbing or not. it's about pissing off land managers and affecting access for others.

each time someone violates, they put another sign up. this is what happened from last time...

I only got on the first pitch once about 6 years ago, so my memory is pretty shaky. But, doesn't it climb into the pink super choss? Is anyone trying to free it?

mungeclimber · « **Reply #35 on:** February 02, 2008, 12:25:18 AM »

Karl, it stays in the water streak. looks sorta solid. (sorry no pic) I think Jim may have an interest in it.

mynameismud · « **Reply #36 on:** February 02, 2008, 10:54:58 AM »

I cannot say that I tried to free it. However, I have tried it on TR. It is quite difficult but I think it would go. I was able to do it from move to move and was actually able to link some stuff together until I hold came off. That shut me down in one section. I think it is doable, perhaps not by me, but doable.

mungeclimber · « **Reply #37 on:** February 02, 2008, 08:54:40 PM »

Karl, I went back up today. (forgot my second full size rope, so didn't climb this second pitch) here's a pic of it...

karl · « **Reply #38 on:** February 02, 2008, 10:43:20 PM »

Thanks.

Much more solid looking than I remember. It looks pretty cool and featured. How steep is it?

F4? · « **Reply #39 on:** February 03, 2008, 09:40:14 AM »

Hey Karl,

Nice job on pick pocket. I go to enjoy it yesterday as it was starting to rain.

There were only 3 other parties besides us. And no rain until 4pm.

Come on munge, you gotta do the 2nd part of the 1st pitch. You do need two ropes to get off.

We talked with Gavin, the bird guy and muchshitty is still open.
