ouuu you might want to remove that from this thread. Californians go crazy when they see Canadians cleaning off their climbs to make them usable. For myself: LOVIN IT! FACT: GITEN YOUR JACK ON !!!!

That's a minor understatement yelling rock.

There's something about giant trundles that just makes me all warm and happy. It's kind of like a reward after all the brutal labor of grubbing out a new route in SW BC and NW Washington.

Trundles are awesome. I passed on an excellent one in the Sandias, just couldn't be sure no one was below.

Was the crag worth it?

Nice work, fellas. Love a good trundle.
Then again, the one off of Psychedelic Tree
at Lovers Leap was more dramatic.

A lot more dramatic.



P.S. Give it a go now. Just as good if not better
than her sibling, the Line. Clean safe fun now. :)

That's a lot of work for 50 feet of 5.4.


Sorry. I meant 17 meters.

Haha hate to disappoint, but most people up here use feet to measure height, just like you :) But yeah, we use centigrade... it's not really consistent, eh?

Terraforming at it's worst. Looks like a rinkydink crag that is going to get scrubbed to a lustrous finish... Like every square foot of rock should be climbed, eh?

I like the idea of climbing without being destructive beyond bolted anchors. Couldn't you have as much fun pushing rocks off cliffs in a quarry somewhere? For that much effort, you might as well just put up a rock gym. Those guys should go do some work up on half dome with their jacks if they're not too busy logging the amazon looking for new crags.
