CCC Sucking My Will to Live CLOSED April 26-27 re-bolting

Clear Creek Canyon's Sucking My Will to Live at Primo Wall will will be CLOSED April 26-27 so bolts three, four and the anchor can be replaced. Thank you all in advance for you understanding while this maintenance event takes place.

Thank you so much for your hard work!

Bump for the local denver climbers.

Another bump as folks are no doubt planning weekend climbing right now.

Awwww c'mon man! What else am I supposed to climb?! Why can't you guys do this in the dark?

/sarcasm

Thanks Joe!

You can always put in a few extra hours for the "man" over the weekend. That oughta accomplish the same goal.

Isn't there an evil fixed rope across Clear Creek?

To the OP- thanks, looking forward to enjoying the new bolts despite the dire environmental impact. Sorry to muck up your thread but I just couldn't help myself, villain that I am.

So you are also dumb enough to try and compare dozens of dead bodies and THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of pounds of trash to a tyrol???

Please continue to cock up a perfectly decent thread letting people know about someone putting forth effort to make climbing better for others. You guys are all class.

How about instead of thread jacking this outstanding example of selflessness. Either of you want to hash this out over a beer, please feel free to come down to my restaurant. I am the Executive Chef at Great Northern in DTC. I work 5 days a week so just let me know when works best for you. I'm sure we can educate each other on a few finer points of life.

I don't know...I don't want to jump to conclusions, but you sound a little hot tempered :-)

Plus I've got a pretty busy desecrating schedule.

Anyway, bumping this thread to the front page is probably a public service.

bump for Sunday climbers

Another bump for the Sunday morning sport crews contemplating a gamble against the weather.

It's sort of another thread bleeding into this one, Locker. I don't think anyone is upset about sucking getting new hardware. Thanks to the OP for sure.

Hope you're not referring to me with this statement. Seems like everyone posting really appreciates Joe's efforts.
I know I do.
I helped with the Anarchy rebolting last year (although it seemed more like I was just in the way of the people who knew what they were doing!) so I know how much thankless work is involved.

As Jon says, the silliness between Matt and myself is all a bleed over from this thread mountainproject.com/v/13-de…
