Answer...
Make a far greater mess than the route ever could.
I'd rather see the Compressor Route chopped. Now that is a blight!

"I rope soloed the first seven or eight pitches free over a couple of lazy days. ..At least one protection bolt was a foot from a bomber cam and several others are not necessary to prevent dangerous falls. ...It did feel wierd to be climbing a sport climb on such a big and ominous slabby face with so few routes, though. The route is an anomaly but the quality of the climbing is superb."
What route were you on? If you only climbed the first seven or eight pitches, you were nowhere near where the bolted face climbing began. And the part about a bolt being a foot from a bomber cam? The only time a bolt was placed near a "crack" (other than anchors) was when the "crack" was a sloping lieback that wouldn't accept a 6 inch cam. Looks like OW from below, then you get there, and it's not. Also, in order to get to the face climbing, you should be comfortable at .13-.
Curious.

I thought you bumped it to make sure that it would stay ahead of the Gaza-related threads.

Its like walking by the bathroom right after a forty five minute bout with diarrhea. It smells horrible, but when you look you don't see anything.

Piton Ron, I also wonder if this thread is a record number of posts (though I am not 'helping', am I).
Karl, this horse seems to be flailed where it is nothing but bones... no flesh or even skin.
What was your motivation Walleye?
