on bolting at woodson, good anchor bolts are always welcome and always have been. If you place a bolt on a route, do it on the lead or there is 100% certainty that it will fall out. Respect tradition and the rock and do it right or dont do it.

Well, since Bolton started it, I may as well post a few more Mellonhead shots.

BVB: dream on dude. That is an easy fingercrack in an undisclosed location.
Who soloed Lie Detector BITD? How many people had it wired.
BTW eyeballed Syncopation, Blind Faith, and Undertow for the first time recently. Proud. Wow! Again I gotta wonder how many people actually get up these things. One? Five? A dozen... ever??

Lie Detector has been soloed three times that I know of. Hey, I flashed the FA of Undertow! Not too many climbs at Woodson that haven't seen a repeat, and most everything has been done ropeless (some more than others, of course.) Syncopation ain't bad but I've heard the ground has eroded a bit. That would definately make it harder! I only know of two ascents of the Vice Principle's Office.
Blind Faith? I don't recall that one at all! What/where is it?

Blind Faith is a Gonamok Special... it appears to be a footless mantel over a bulge onto a hold that resembles a downsloping cake of soap.
Irreversible and high over a bad landing, naturally.
Undertow = absurdly rad

This thing caught my eye. Holy sh!t, that's an interesting vision. To think there's a chance to get up that. Way beyond me.
So Gonamuck, it you didn't pull it, how long could you hang there?

Great day on the hill this morning, awesome cloudcover and a good time showing some newbies anchor stuff while I let my bones heal. Met some really cool folks who got psyched from this thread to try new challenges. Go get it!

Congrats to Friend for snatching up the hardest unclimbed handcrack on the hill, and naming it after his boy. Dude is quite the tour guide, but I still feel like I'm the cooler Burch.

Thanks LT,
It was fun tagging along with you guys yesterday, great vibes.
That crack is a gem. I’ve been asking around extensively, in person and via email, trying to see if anyone’s climbed it or was even aware of it. Certainly plenty of past/present Woodson climbers who could have hiked it, but it was so well hidden until recently, I think maybe I was just in the right place at the right time. Reiterating my question from a few weeks ago on this thread – if you’ve climbed this thing, post up or let me know.
If not, go do it. Video doesn’t really do it justice. It’s an overhanging 1 ¼” splitter – what’s not to like?

Yes, thanks for the tour Friend. Great stuff!!! Tried to PM you (let me know if you did get it) and not sure you got it. Mainly because I want to know if my pm function is working, lol! So without further adieu...
