Just a heads up that the bolt stud can be wiggled around in the rock on one of the anchor bolts of Talking Holds. The other bolt stud also seemed to show a little movement, though not as pronounced, so use gear to backup the anchor if intending to toprope and use caution when rapping.

Potato,

I actually did just that with the existing aid piece, but, honestly, I felt silly bothering with it because that old bolt is so thin and rusty I think it would snap easily with any force.

Kris, A few more thoughts to add to the "debate," for what it's worth. I can appreciate the merits of both sides: a spicy finish showcases the face climbing, a bolted face let's the long crack system be the star of the show. One consequence of leaving it without a bolt could be that it appeals to a ...

Thanks for the reply, Elie. I have found a partner for Friday. I'll be back in town in a couple weeks -- perhaps if you are still around we could try to grab a few days then.

Hi, I am in town and looking for a partner for this Friday, June 26. Crag or multipitch in the 5.9 - 10b/c range if I am leading (or I am happy to follow harder grades if you are leading). I place a high priority on safety (helmets, checking each other's knots, etc), but am otherwise easygoing and j...

Thanks, Kyle!

Thanks, Woeisme.

I saw that they mentioned managing to rap from P3, but it's not sounding like getting down from the upper pitches is possible without two ropes.

Thanks, Hans. I was afraid that might be the case.

Does anyone know if it is possible to rappel from the top of P6 of Borderline with a single 60m rope, and if so, which stations you would use? I've rapped from the top of Blazing Saddles with a single 60m but it doesn't appear from the topo that the raps from the top of Borderline would follow the s...

Thank you for unearthing this stellar line! I concur with the claim that this is arguably one of the best crack pitches in Squamish. Given that, having a runout slab crux finish seemed out of character with the true pleasure of the route (climbing the beautiful cracks) and detracts from its appeal, ...

I climbed the route in 2009 and put up some pics and a TR http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=902403 here on cascadeclimbers.com Although I quite enjoyed it, I've never felt compelled to go back and repeat it. I think the subsequent reports of continuting loose condit...

Thanks for the reply Eric. I am on the road to Squish today. I'll msg you tonight or in the morning.

Looking for a safe, solid partner for something in the 5.8-5.10c range this Thursday. On Wednesday I'm doing a long multipitch so a mellower sort of day on Thurs(ie-cragging or a short multi) would be ideal but I'm open to ideas. I have ropes and rack and lead .10a/b, depending on the route style. J...

JMace--Cool! So does that mean that we're about to turn the corner into summer? I hope it comes soon...seems like there's not much left of it. Hoping this weekend shapes up for starters.

We climbed it a full week after a heavy rain cycle last summer, thinking things had had time to dry out; led the last two .10a pitches with water running down our arms and backs. :? Good news is that the holds are positive and the gear is good thru the dihedral and O/W at the finish that a little(or...
