Mabey Tea can help us design a medal for community service that we can give to tony! I know a silversmith and will provide the silver. Might be the only medal that he could keep without charges filed!
But what about the noobs? Im just going to use the geezer wall factor and bolt that pin placement. As a public service for the climbing community!! The beginners should be able to climb all the routes in lcc without a rack, or dangerous fixed pins!! Me and Mark sargent are going to bolt every crack ...
Well lets go take a look at it, and talk to the FA before anything is done. Could replace the second bolt on all chalk while we are there. I would rather see the route restored to its original condition, but it still sounds like a bad idea to me. Pulled too many fixed pins by hand in my day.
This route, Steort's Ridge, is one of the premiere multi-pitch climbs in Big Cottonwood Canyon, and it is popular because of the terrific exposure, the variety of skills called upon and the excellent protection...it is THE stand-out route on the crag. Consequently, many parties are forced to retreat...
