I've just posted this in the forum over on buildering.net and to be honest, we'd love to get some more details on the ascent. If you fancy writing something up, I'll post it to the front page. :) More please. ;) Andy. 0 Flag Quote
	Dirty Gri Gri, or is it GiGi? · Nov 9, 2012 · Vegas · Joined May 2005 · Points: 4,115 Awesome, thanks for sharing! The cop was pretty cool, but I couldn't help but imagine how some trigger happy cops in Vegas might have reacted to one's buildering.:( That'd totally suck to be tased off the climb, and arrested on such a fine splitter crack... With that being said, thank goodness we have Red Rock in our backyard in Sin City! 0 Flag Quote
	Dylan D · Nov 10, 2012 · Asheville, NC, USA · Joined May 2011 · Points: 35 Thanks for the positive response guys! As I was placing my first piece a woman looked at me and immediately pulled out her cell phone so I'm guessing that's who called the police. But I couldn't believe I got off Scott free. My friend belaying me was pissed he didn't get to climb it. And the cop said to ask for permission next time! It started with wide hands then at the top 15 ft was an overcammed 3 but perfect hands so no pro needed. Another perfect hand crack in another corner is still awaiting a FA. I placed 3 3s btw. And thanks Andy for spreading the vid! 0 Flag Quote

I mean, obviously it's safer to just top out than lower on a cam, but you didn't have to top out to retrieve them with that method, correct? 0 Flag Quote
	Dylan D · Nov 12, 2012 · Asheville, NC, USA · Joined May 2011 · Points: 35 Correct. I told a fib so that I could finish the crime. First time he told me to come down I was thinking, then said, "man I've gotta go to the top" 0 Flag Quote
