This is the 10 year after Ten Year After debate bump.
That's all.

Funny, I'm leaving for the valley in a few days and spent last night going over this topo after deciding to climb this one route.
The matrix, man. It's reel.

"I tell you what Pete. I would pay to see someone hand drill that string of 3/8 inch bolts up on the trip. Hand drill my ass..."
Wow old post..
Just for the record I was up there. I like Erik. He's a super mellow friendly guy and put up with my Gumby skills learning on Tangerine Trip.. It was my first successful El Cap experience. We took extra time drilling some of those damn rivets and many belay bolts. I often lead pitches he wanted to rebolt including some super shitty anchor on Virginia where the old hanger literally cracked in half while we were hauling.
It took Erik multiple ascents of the route. No power drills were used at all to my knowledge. Erik could be more sensitive, but there's also no great way to go about this kind of thing without pissing off a few. I agree with Werner's point about not adding time bombs, particularly on Yosemite trade routes.
It's definitely a subjective debate here. That's a labor of love seeing just a taste of what a huge pain in the ass it is and I can't really fault the guy for doing it the best way he sees to do it when he does. I feel that's how many of us would - I know I wouldn't want to; my elbow hurts thinking about it.

Considering, at best, Minerals is neo-Nazi anything he says is BS.

Way to keep it classy, scooter.
Did you read Greg Barnes post?
It speaks volumes, and begs the answers to the questions Bryan is asking.
Which I am sure can be answered "10 years later".

The lashing out really helps Sloan's cause, BTW - well played.

^^^^^^ come on Jim it has been a soap opera in the valley since before even you started climbing there. Royal and Warren created all kinds of drama.

Look at TV, soap operas are always the longest running shows.

Well, MrE. Ever since I heard Minerals spewing his Meinkampf non-sense in front of the TM store and called him out on it (to no response I should mention, just more talk, ha)...I have ZERO respect for him or any of his opinions. Are you one of the little Nazi dagger lover guys too? You two should be gun and knife show partners.

You're wrong.
But on the plus side you've been running longer than the longest running show on TV.
So funny and true.
There may be a market for "I Detest Sloan" and "I Like Sloan" big wall t-shirts. Retro Harding and Robbins t-shirts might sell well too. A blank t-shirt that comes with a permanent marker for the rugged individualist/self promoters would be a hot item, a tangible version of "post a reply" in all sizes, both slim and regular fit.
This is why early behavioral modification at Preschool age is so important.

Yeah, get one for me.....just weighed myself after returning from Turkey. 152...too much good food, those 18 to 30 extra ounces sneak up on you when you get older.
