- Topic: Fixed line for Broadway descent?

I'm firmly against any sort of fixed line on Broadway. Sure, the first time down that traverse one stays pretty focused, but it all adds to the adventure. Fixed lines inevitably turn into a manky, crusty mess that aren't to be trusted. They also promote loading them with body weight instead of just ...

My buddy Joe and I tried to clean it around 1992 and got a severe lesson in the difficulty of scrubbing a route in the wet. Especially a route that isn't straight down. I'm still mentally scarred from that experience. As for bolting the wide cracks I say go for it. I'm pretty old school and crusty b...

Fair 'nuff, but when you consider how many routes are in that book, to have 1 or 2 that are messed up is well within the acceptable rate, IMHO. Also, Kevin has to rely on the first ascentionist in many cases. Mostly they're going to give good information. In some situations, you're going to get a sa...

Why would you think that McLean should apologize for someone giving him bad beta? Do you really think that he climbs everything himself to verify the beta?
