Comments: Do these routes stay dry in the rain or during snowmelt events?

Comments: So when BH sent this route, was stick-clipping as in vogue as spandex? I'd like to do this route without fear of having my ankles shoved up my spine but was scared that having the first three bolts would be invalid salad.

Comments: The landing has been leveled, and there is no need for the R rating any longer.
I don't really know how to feel about the extensive landscaping that took place here. On one hand, I'm grateful to finally have a terrific warmup on perfect rock with a safe landing zone. On the other, the landscaping totally changes the nature of this climb and the bold, visionary, first ascent will never again be pause for reflection when one contemplates this line.
I hope that in the future, when traffic and e... more >>

Comments: This problem deserves more credit than the above description gives it. Good rock. Fun moves. Steep. I imagine it would be an excellent place to escape the heat in the summer as well.

Comments: Thanks for the videos, Mr. Beal. I'm looking forward to trying the low start.
Question about the topout: The way I've done it before is to have the hold above the pocket with the right hand and have my left hand at the pinch on the left side of the crack near the lip. The crux for me is then to put my right foot in the pocket and rock over it with my left hand on some very thin flakes on the slab above. This really makes for a rather committing topout. I can't say if this way would be easier t... more >>

Comments: No Dogs Allowed.
In my ignorance, I brought my dog to Lumpy and on the way out received a 20 minute lecture and a $100 ticket.

Comments: Dang... while relentlessly dogging my way up NH, I think I managed to grope pretty much the entire first 20 feet of LH and thought 'hey... this thing might go...' but now... not so much.

Comments: What's up with finishing on the Flying Beast anchors? Doesn't Rain Shadow have its own set of manky tat anchors to go to? I don't blame anyone for not wanting to use those anchors as they're definitely not as confidence inspiring as the ones on FB but continuing directly up the crack in the corner seems like the intended line. Did Dan Hare have anything to say about the finish when the above video was made?

Comments: 'There definitely is a great no-hands rest if you find the appropriate kneebar right before you pull the crux moves.'
Can anyone describe the no-hands rest kneebar before the crux? Nate?

Comments: Good route. ***Shameless Beta Follows***
From the handjam just over the lip, gaston the sloping rail, turn the handjam into a sidepull and walk your feet up to good edges on the left face and then mantle.

Comments: There's a 'new' problem at the Satellites and was wondering if anyone wanted to contribute some beta (name, grade, FA) for it. If you're facing Grundel City Boy, it's directly behind you about 70' up the hill. It's the short boulder (10' tall) with a cool 3' horizontal roof at about chest height. Starts in the back of the roof and moves to the lip via the enormous heel hook jug. Crimpers on the face gains you the top. Some guys I tried it with said it was about V7. Good problem. 2-3 stars.

Comments: Conditions are good now. Most areas dry except for Wasteland and Project wall. On a side note, a grigri was left at the base of Purple and Green (Anti-Phil). Reward if returned.

Comments: The middle chain draw fell off this afternoon. Yep, the chain and hanger just fell out and slid down the rope... I think the bolt is still in place and just needs a nut. I'll try and get back out there to put it back together in the next week or two. If someone wants to do it sooner just contact me.

Comments: Check out the boulder 15' north of the Kahuna boulder. It has recently tipped onto its side revealing at least four new problems. The NE arete is stunning with slopers, pinches, and a high (20') finish on perfect stone.
