An insidious booby-trap set in hopes of taking out one of his adversaries?

Dirt on Millennium Falcon. I spent a day cleaning up my mess on the first three pitches of MF. In fact I scrubbed sections to a higher standard than they were originally in. cleaning loose dust becomes a little futile, you sweep it off on a section of a climb and depending on the winds it just ends...

Bolting. If I decided to take a hard line trad approach to this line I could have reduced the bolt count to 1-3 protection bolts total, this would have greatly decreased the potential popularity of the line. Instead, I decided to make this line user friendly. Some people will find a few of the bolt...

Yes.

The Gauntlet/Mad Nerd and Poodle (aka the Facade) are currently undergoing warranty, this work will make both these routes even better than they were, there are fixed ropes in the way of the climbing so both lines are out of commission for the next little while. These fixed ropes are not a mini trax...

I tried the traverse via the bolts and fell, I would estimate that the move is 11b-d. After falling it just seemed to make sense to try and hand trave...

No bolts on clean corner please!

Clipping the second bolt of "club flex" with a shoulder length is at almost the same elevation as the pin, isn't difficult to clip and creates no rope drag. There is no need for an additional bolt where the pin was ( it would be about two feet right of the club flex bolt)
