High wire crag trail

So when the plastic holds go up, please don't penny pinch - install very large jugs for everyone's safety. Those crimpers can be hard on the tendons.

I thought my pulley purchase was worthless...until now

I'd pay good money to see this one.
Can I have your pulley after you get finished??

I've actually been insisting on this for quite some time now

Just slip 10 bucks in my pocket and it'll be yours. I'll be lying downstream, motionless and pale, more than likely.

Buff Oneliner scores. Kat walked right into that low impact collision.

Shawn Mitchell wrote: Mike, quit being a jerk. Bruno, you're right. Climber's Mom, I apologize for the bad behavior I and others here subjected you to, just for wanting to make the world a better place. I'd like to make it right. So I'll contribute the necessary resources and labor to install your safety measures.

Shawn, let me know when you are headed up there, I would like to help you out. This brings a tear to my eye.... such a sweet lady...

Shawn, If you really care you will install a winch at the base of the crag or, even better, an automated wheelchair ramp. I'm sure climber's mom would like to be able to watch her son climb.

Awwww! You guys are so dang sweet. I need a hug.

Shawn:

I think you should proactively find out where climbersmom's kid climbs, and then go to each and every place and make sure that all approaches are either Class I, or better yet a paved path to each venue. Also, you should then make sure all climbs that the kid may climb are always modified to prevent the delicate individual from ever coming close to falling. So chip and drill as many additional holds as may be necessary to alleviate her fears about her child's climbing endeavors! If this isn't enough, cables, ladders and winches should be installed to reduce risk, injury, etc.

let me know, i'd be glad to help by making sure josh doesn't cut the rope and chop the bolt like he did on the last one (you guys all remember that last bolt and rope on the trail to highwire right?... right? yeahhhhhh, rightttt)

It's an older picture Shawn. Hope that helps :)

How many years old is that photo? It's in sepia and looks from the 60s.

Which one is you? You were a fine looking woman when you were a 15-year old boy.

Oh gosh. I don't know hun. Probably not long after they came out with those amazing chlorobromide papers.

I'm LOLing.

Back to the bolt issue. If the bolt is added, do you think Jeffco Open would have a problem if we ran a zip line or tyro from said bolt to the River Wall? Since NO ONE is gonna use the bolt to TR the approach because that it dumb, there should be some use for it.

I can't believe I have now had the opportunity to say TR the approach when discussing sport climbing. haha

I think there would need to be a safety net installed under the zip line.

If you are being sarcastic...as in suggesting that the bolt and fixed rope wasn't there...you are wrong.

While I understand that this thread is basically a troll and everyone is having good fun....this event did happen in the past.

There was a bolt and fixed line added to this approach several years ago. I chopped it. I patched the hole VERY well, but I can still show it to you if you don't believe.

Jeff Co has proven that they don't like climbers and want to limit access. Putting a fixed rope within 20 ft of the highway doesn't help.

It hurts me that you don't care about my son's safety Josh. Thank you Eric for offering to stand guard during the installation.
