Mixed

Post by MCpl » Mon Sep 27, 2004 8:25 am

Would you climb a 5.7 mixed route in a place like Chek (concentrated sport climbing). I don't think so. Well, perhaps, but it wouldn't be very popular. So why the hell do people b%$ch about bolted routes that partially follow a crack like Master Of My Domain? So what if you can place a piece somewhere on the route.

normally would prefer no bolts, but you could always ignore the bolts and place your own pro

i have climbed most of the trad and mixed routes in the canyon and at cal-chek, except for the 12a at gotham city. they are mostly pretty good routes. also it is guaranteed you won't have to wait in line on a sunny day. 8)

Speaking of mixed...

Yeah you know the REAL mixed climbing, with tools and spurs.... do you think anyone would mind if I dry tooled routes at the Main event? Some of the holds are chipped already so it doesnt seem a bit of extra pick damage on some of them would be any big deal.

Gotham City and Cal-Chek. "Desination" crags they are not. Why because of said mixed routes.

If it keeps you away I'm all for it. WTF, "Burgers and Fries" is a destination crag by your standards. Ho hum.
