Comments: I lost an Enforcer glove, right hand. I may have left it behind while climbing at Sandstone on about the 19th of January. Beverage of choice to whomever finds it and gets it back to me.
Cheers!

Comments: Hey Burt, it's not that long, unless conditions are really bad, and then you shouldn't be going up there anyway. Normally about 2-3 hours, if you have a bike!

Comments: Randy, I don't get you at all. The thread had nothing to do with rating comparisons between different areas of the country. Everyone knows they vary and, who cares? Usually, when I can't believe I'm doing something,I shouldn't be. And by the way, congratulations on your flashes and onsights.

Comments: With no ice, moving past the last bolt is a good bit harder than 7+.

Comments: As you know, Gene started the names of his routes with 'Just', which is why I thought he was in on it. I climbed with Paul and Gene for the first time in '86, I don't think that was the first year he was in the Needles.

Comments: First ascent was by Gene Larson. I'm not sure of the year, late 1980's I believe.

Comments: Anaphalactic Shock is the route to the right of the arete, as you're looking at the rock. I've always gotten to it by scrambling up and left from the base of Mr. Critical.

Comments: I heard about the bolts you're talking about Tater Tot. My understanding is that they protect a new line above the West Butt route.
When I climbed the route, there were no bolts on the first or second pitch, and as rgold says, it was quite a bit easier than 5.8, just a wee bit runout ;-)

Comments: Hey Jason,
Thanks for posting this information about the new plan. Has either the Park or climbing communtiy proposed anything yet regarding parking or access to these areas?
Thanks!

Comments: The route being climbed in this photo is not Waves. You're correct Goran, Waves is to the left. I don't remember the name of this route but I think it's in the 5.6/5.7 range. Real fun a little higher where it get real steep on big holds.

Comments: Add 10 bolts and make it a sport route?! God, I hope not. That kind of short-sighted reaction would be worse than the removal of the bolts in the first place.
I can understand Henry's motivations, but 35 years later?! I also wonder about the local who helped out. I don't know who it was, but I would bet that on some, if not all of their ascents, they clipped the very bolts they removed. Henry's summons was apparently irresistible.
Where to go from here? I first climbed Superpin in th... more >>

Comments: Matthias,
Your observation is about as meaningful as which came first, the chicken or the egg. Climb on Palisade Head or Shovel Point and you know what sea cliff climbing is all about.

Comments: Both Tater Tot and Jerry W think this route is way easier than .12a. Maybe I missed something. Give it a try and chime in!

Comments: Nice photo! One can also traverse right after clipping the upper bolt(s) and finish up the right hand side of the spire. This finish seems easier to me.

Comments: An excellent route for sure, one of the best moderates in the Ten Pins area. Great to have new anchors (2008) but they are very poorly placed.
In order to have a compfortable belay and rappel stance, they need to be extended with a 24" runner. IMHO some chain should be added to make them more user friendly.
