Lydia and I were trying this thing, it's in a corridor, by the road. But then someone else figured a (different) way to do it, so we gave up. Before Big Grunt, right by the road, opposite an Arete w/ TR bolts (The Golden Age of Motoring, 10b) Pure arete climbing, almost.
that does sound like in the pit / welcome home

RE: "that does sound like in the pit / welcome home"
lol - the arete I mention is right above the road, in open air. :-) The pit looks cool, doubt I have been there, honest.
My digging produced the nice TR face almost directly below big grunt, down the opposite side of the road, Starts w/ distinct hand rail; it's short but deserved the TR bolts. Popular i guess.
Also, past the summit, left of the road (looking to the SW) I did a fair bit of TR exploration on a large boulder. You can see the face dropping away toward the ocean side view, from the road. My bolt studs are/were up on top. Nice spot.
The trail to the base of above boulder, was thought to be a main channel path, to stuff lower down. Built it back in 97, pretty good path.

Hey Ray,
is that "hand rail" you are talking about Werner's Wish?
If so that's one thiiiin hand rail : )
Also this arete you are talking Before Big Grunt, right by the road, opposite an Arete w/ TR bolts (The Golden Age of Motoring, 10b) Pure arete climbing, almost.
Are you sure its BEFORE big grunt. Because just above Big Grunt (just before Mother Superior, right above the road, in open air, is a corrider/chimney with two clean aretes on each side of the chimney- Does that sound right?
Also Ron- sweet photo!

"Does that sound right?"
Lol, not sure. Long time ago, last I was there being late 90's.
RE: "Hey Ray, gear up and meet me out there"
cannot bvb, working very hard to not be a full cripple, right now. The myofascial adhesions in my leg are so severe, I bent the freaking acupuncture needle. Were doing prolotherapy (injections) too.
Thank you very much for the invitation, though. Sorry to be such a buzz kill.

Geez bob, ignoring my unprovoked, first-strike missive? You really know how to hurt a guy.
For concerned citizens who may be tuned in, what others call malicious slander, bvb n me call good clean humor....
And Ray, Im sorry to hear about your physical tribulations. I always had a ball climbing with you, ol buddy. I think we need to have a get together of all the original SD homeboys...a party and slideshow/bullshit session while we are all still breathing. Im gonna work on that.
Friday at Santee bob? gimmie a call

I don't know if I can trust these "bvb" posts. For all I know they may just be a cruel hoax perpetrated by some figment of Ron's imagination.
I mean, there was this thread about Bob bouldering with Ron in JT. It even had all these pictures that apparantly were of bvb his glorious self. But no, lo and behold, we later come to find out that the whole thing was just a troll staged by Ron, including the pictures. bvb had never been there.
Then next, there was this Santee thread by Ron. Again we were asked to believe that bvb had graced the place with his presence. It also had supposed pictures of bvb bouldering. Right. Like we're going to fall for that trickery again? We now know better than to believe what we think we're seeing.
And now, some mellow posts by bvb in this thread? Hey, that dude is one swOle, crushing, 'Merican legend. He don't take no knockdown from nobody. He flat out crushes. So ya gotta wonder, is that really bvb posting, or is it just Ron messin' with us?
How does that saying go? Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us.

bob-o, sorry to hear about the hoof, i guess friday at santee is out, huh
Henny, i can make a bvb dummy but i cant make bvb dumber. Bbo may look n act dumb, but hes got a shrewd and calculating mind underneath that 1969 hairdo hes sportin. Some say Justin Bieber is really bvb deep undercover for god knows what twisted purpose.
He was spotted on a rooftop in Casablanca and fishing for cod on a icelandic freighter off the coast of Greenland IN THE SAME DAY. Some say he wears plaid and stripes TOGETHER.
Alarmingly, during the Japanese Tsunami disaster, bob was completely unaccounted for. Complicity or complacency? and wheres his ranger hat?
Bob is an enigma wrapped in a connundrum and topped with more gristle than you get in a whole cow.
Me? Im a simple and humble peasant incapable of wrongdoing. Its bob, oh yes, BOB that you gotta watch.

Defense? Against Ronbo? I'm far too compassionate a Human Being for that. It'd be, like, child abuse or something.
Dude did kick my ass on mantles, though. Sorta like crushing me at underwater basket weaving. Imagine my distress.

Bob, I was at Santee on Friday the 18th and saw a suspendered, thin gentleman coming down from the Dogpile Boulder trail in the afternoon. I was coming at him from the east side. That must have been you, no? He was headed out and too far ahead to intersect with him.
I left San Diego that Sunday to relocate the family back to New Jersey (don't ask). Am in Wichita, KS, at my son's house for Thxgiving as I write this. Leaving tonight to drive south to Arkansas to climb at Sam's Throne. Will be in Jersey by Monday then returning to Diego, on Dec. 8th, to p/u the second car, then driving cross country AGAIN!
I'm gone for now, but NEVER for good!

Of course I kicked your ass at mantles bob, and heres why
Lets disseminate the words, shall we?
MANtle - theres a MAN in mantle. Other definitions are; title or symbol of authority, and a shelf for displaying your trophies
crACK - theres ack in crack, the sound cats make when coughing up a hairball. Other definitions are; a debilitating form of cocaine favored by inner city homeless individuals, and the chasm between ones buttocks
the evidence speaks for itself

Whoa!
And just when I thought Ron must be at a loss for words since it was taking him so long to counter bvb.
You still standing bvb? You don't have any choice but to counter-punch that one.
