1) If it's not your route, don't mess with it unless the FA is dead. (If the FA is dead, get a consensus on what to do first) So if George Lowe dies, and climbers agree, more protection bolts may be added to the Dorsal Fin? How about if it's not your route just leave it alone!! I hope this "I can d...

You mean, ahem, on the granite, lower down in LCC...(sorry, couldn't resist, had to beat Mike to that one). Do you consider a crumbly, limestone 10,900' mountain LCC? Brian, if you want to keep harassing those of us who climb at the Castle it would be nice if you'd actually done a climb up there! Y...

I think it was October 18th,

Call Brian 277-3063

The Fin Arete had 3 bolts added to it in the early 80's. 2 on the first pitch and 1 on the 3rd pitch. The latter creating a belay station so that you can do the climb in 3 pitches instead of it's original 4 pitches. My brother Jonathan & I decided not to remove them so that the route could be safer....

Belayon, The 2 bolts I'm talking about are at the start of the crack, just as you finish that classic hand traverse along the dike ( 3rd pitch ) Yes, I've done the Ventral Fin. It's a good aid route. Those seams are Knifeblade cracks. the rock is excellent. Yea, no snakes or "hostile tribe of hornet...

Yes, Mt. Moroni is about 1/2 mile south of the Zion lodge. The east face sports about 6 1/2 routes!

Mr. Sluggo The aid is clean, thin face cracks. It's harder than the trade routes, but not desperate or serious. The route is V 5.8 A2+. The lower half is steep aid & the upper half is more free climbing. The route follows a single crack for 9 pitches! The climbing though is still varied. You may wan...

It would be nice if the bolt anchors on the University Slabs get put back in. Before the bolts were added, you had to tie into a small tree. This caused rock fall problems. The bolts seemed very unobtrusive. Joe said "why not just leave it clean"? Most roofs (that can't be done clean) have fixed pin...

I've climbed 2 routes up there, both were about 9 to 10 pitches long. The area is bigger than it looks. It's beautiful up there, you're at 8000' in the pines and you can see Thunder Mt. etc. The first route we did was the obvious natural crack system cleaving the left side of the Pawn (IV 5.10 C1). ...

The rock at the Pawn is most similar to Bells Canyon. In general, it's not as good as the Thumb, but new routes on granite always need cleaning. The Fin & The Thumb used to be a bit flakey too. The summit ridge of the Pawn is kinda gritty but the lower flanks are quite solid. Rock quality for me...

New guidebooks are always great. especially if they are high quality. Triznut said " There has been a lot more route development than you think" This is true. Perhaps it would be nice to use this thread as a general source for any new route information that any of you might know about. Here's what I...

Thanks, I did miss that topic.
