Would hardly call the clubbers walking around 25,000 years ago 'modern'
BTW, someone recently reminded me that the earth is only 6,000 years old ! He must've been right, cause it was written in a book |

Good one Debaser. The mountain has been here for what? - 140 million years. Modern man has been here for 25,000 years Mark, even if your numbers are a bit askew, that's a powerful argument for saying the actions of humans are irrelevant 'cos the mountains will remain. That being so I'm all for grid bolting the sucker, and with my new angle grinder I can cut holds on those pesky blank bits
Terry, you're right... books are overrated. |

This route shouldn't be where it is, and the steps taken to establish it were way out of bounds - I think we all know that. I've been on it anyway. My
party wasted hours getting to the start of the route, then backed off after the first traverse, when we calculated our expected height at sunset. We intend to
try again. Thanks to public enemy number 1 for his hardware and effort.
Some parts of the route have a bolt a metre. And a good thing too, given how soft the rock is in those places! The higher pitches look more solid. I'll shut up now, to preserve the adventure. A pair of Volleys and a can of tough'n'up will get you the rest of the beta. |
