First off ANYONE who reads this bloggy-blog….CLICK HERE and LISTEN to my man Odub’s latest joing “50 Words For Chump”….Absolutely CLAAAAASSSSSIIIICCCC!!!!! http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=7056596&q=hi OR…copy-paste. MAD respect to Odub.
I have been REALLY psyched lately. I bolted a new route at the Bob Marley crag. The line is in between 50 Words and Ultra Perm. I am really psyched on the bolting game right now. Especially here in the RRG, where there are TONS of lines you drool over bolting. SO much rock and lines to bolt. I am kinda particlar these days man…I gotta say. I am really feeling the Athletic-Resistance style over any other. THATS why I got psyched to bolt this line at Bob Marley.
Brad Weaver and I tried it out yesterday. We figured out the moves and chalked the holds. The rock here needs very little cleaning and most features are solid. I am guessing the line is around Mid-5.14…maybe B or C… We will see though. There are no rests and it is consistently crux after crux. What’s cool about it is ALL the holds are normal grips, nothing tweaky or too wack. STRAIGHT powerful climbing and LOTS of moves. SOOOO psyched. We tried to climb today, but the rock is pretty wet from last night’s rain. Hopefully tomorrow we can get some wiring in and start redpoint tries. Climbing with Brad will be dope…the kid is STRONG and psyched.
Bolting a route has gotta be one of the more satisfying things I have done…I am interested in buying a drill…ANYONE know of a hook-up. Hit me up.
