Bolts on School Room?
|
I'm new to the Salt Lake area, and ever since I got here everyone has told me I HAVE to climb School Room... "Its a classic!" But I'm confused, a classic with out bolted belays??? How can it be a classic if it is dangerous? I don't mind placing gear on lead, but belays, no thank you. |
|
Wow, this post brings back old/fond memories. |
|
If you bolt it, they will come. |
|
Troll? If you dont feel comfortable building an anchor with gear you should not be leading with gear! |
|
There is a big difference between leading on gear and building an anchor. I just believe that a "classic" should be for everyone, and not just the elite that my Boulder friends warned me of here in Salt Lake. |
|
If you're scared of building anchors try the first 4 pitches of pentapitch...either belaying from bolts or nice healthy big pine trees. This must be a troll nonetheless! |
|
Way too obvious. I do like the dogwood ticks though, that's a nice touch. |
|
I started writing an explanation but there is no hope for this individual. |
|
After I get done putting up a Via Ferrata on the First Flatiron I'll head up and bolt School Room for you. You can never be too safe. |
|
Too easy to diagnose this one: |

Micropenis come back, funny shit.... |

It is one of the first things that you learn. |

Why is anybody even responding to this post? |

I prefer this one |

All other obvious reasons aside, if you knew the topography of that climb, you'd know why it can't be rappelled. |
|
That's funny. Thx for the link. |
