high ball lost to top rope anchors

Post by slhughes » Sun Jun 21, 2009 8:56 pm

i was out taking the evening constituition tonight at the emerging dream boulder in brackendale, as i am want to do for a quick session. however, the dignity of this proud, lonely boulder appears to have been violated with the most boring of all fixed protection: a double bolt top rope anchor. the tired regression of bad style has arrived to reign in the (possibly already climbed) twenty foot high ball on the west face. if this action had occured in the grand wall boulders i, being a man of modest means, would be willing to wager a cash money sum that those bolts wouldn't last a week. perhaps this forum here can give the visionary bolter time to explain his or her classy endorsment for a neat stylistic step backwards, before uncle chop chop returns the obvious boulder challenge to its former purity. with, it is worth mentioning, a totally flat landing, easily protectable by the modern boulderer.
sincerely, stewart.

Interesting indeed... see http://copywronger.wordpress.com/catego ... rds-words/ for a short discussion. (and a $10000 retard, and a ninja fighting bum!!)

I am among the believers that it indeed means dropping the deuce.
as i am want to do for a quick session.

I believe here he means "as I am wont to do for a quick session"

as in, it is his custom.

I do, however, have a further inquiry into the colourful linguistics here employed:

surely this would be the tired progression of bad style?

either way, thanks for the rants! gets me through the first couple hours of monday morning work...

And I think I hear uncle chop chop coming...

I was out there a few years ago bouldering and saw somebody (can't remember who) send that west face thing. Chop away.

Not that I care either way, but how does a set of top anchors prevent anyone from soloing the boulder?

I love it. Finally some one has the balls to make some sense. I can solo the first couple of pitches on Deirdre dose that mean I should have the right to chop the belay bolts.?????? Maybe I am over thinking the whole thing.But really who the f**k cares there are bolts all over this place. Just my 2 cents
Take your chance while you still got a choice.

Son of a b%$ch I just heard that some one had the audacity to put a set of belay bolts on sugar loaf some one better call Mr chop chop.

.......people who actually free climb care. scary ticks are an accomplishment and very memorable. provides the rush. theres enough routes out there that are well protected and secondly the first ascentionist makes the decision for the most part. get some balls and solo it
