It’s raining like crazy, what are you doing instead of climbing?

Anyway I am writing a TV sequel to the smash hit, “Camp Marquee.” Bolts can always be chopped and replaced. On this season we will be transmission jacking over every column, dynamite the lower entablature, and conducting interviews with the exumed bodies of legends past. |

Coaching basketball, writing a book and restoring a couple classic Index 5.8s from the 60s: the Back Road and P1 of the Ave. Not many other cars in the LTW lot these days. |

Climbed Fuggs Falls, and other fairly good ice climbs in the area too. Sometime during my stay in Ellensburg, the faces started getting sport bolted. I was hoping there would be some resistance, but i didn't see any. I was not a local and was in no position to gripe and complain to Jim Yoder or Matt Stanley. Although it does seem a bit of chopping took place into the 2000s. I was just responding to the fictitious bolt war of the 80s and 90s post... but, WGAF!!! |
