choosing routes based on aesthetics and not just because it can be climbed, preserving those aesthetics by not grid bolting, retro-bolting or excessive cleaning etc. i often wonder about that when i look at this part of shakespeare rock

I've been surprised at how easy it is to avoid people around here. Been climbing here for the last month and haven't had any issues really. Super easy to avoid people and do your own thing at areas that don't seem to get much traffic. 90foot is that little crag to the right of Lost In Space, right? Sugarloaf is lovely. Thanks for the hospitality and not straying too far from the (exceptionally) beaten path I suppose.
Back to Flagstaff in the morning. Might be back in a couple weeks.

the old dudes who ran it out are the shite.
every single one that i meet authors eyes that
speak.
you whom qualify yourself
with diluted courage got no stare.
it's quite simple.
and that is the best message.
keep your ill prepared hands off our mountains,
or else we'll kindly remind you of your cowardice
with blank rock where blank rock belongs.

no way brandon i was not trolling
i don't even know what that is,
i was simply sharing a sentiment that i strongly
believe in and uphold.
the beauty and opportunity of our crags is not infinite
and must be respected with a light
(read: bold) passage by all patrons.
ours is not a convenient medium.
never it was, and suitors looking
for easy wisdom need to seek elsewhere,
like the indoor go-cart track or something.
there's tons of those around.
and the chicks dig dudes whom can sit there
and pivot their bold ankles.

90foot is that little crag to the right of Lost In Space, right? Yes, and lost in space is also the name of one of the routes at 90'. a thin face that needs bolts....

a moment after that it actually extended it's talons as if to grab her (or the dog, which is what they really didn't like) and then turned upward. here is a shot of it overhead

Keeping Tahoe Bold is about preserving the awesomeness of Tahoe, and really the whole of climbing by respecting local standards...
Alright, how many here are Tahoe locals?
...
That's what I thought.

Everyone knows that Ron. Everyone also knows, if you live off the hill, if you drive UPHILL to get to the lake, you don't live in Tahoe.

Dr. Christ... I'm local... and so is WEEEG.
Local is defined by the dedicated users of the area.
If you live in Tahoe and climb 15 times a year.... Your not a local. Jus sayin'

I will be sure to tell all my neighbors, many of whom were born here, that they are not locals because they don't climb enough.

OMG, your such a contrarian!
In regards to local climbing ethics.... You're correct, they are NOT locals.
Are you trying to be annoying? Is this a craft your practicing?
