Last post: If you need a cheater stick you are an idiot, If you need a pile of stones for the first step you are an idiot, If you clearly need bolts on a route that is an only free solo, you are an idiot. If you need a bolt anchor on trad route you are an Idiot. If you cannot define pontificate you are an idiot. If you top rope on a rusted leaper your are a real idiot, and I invite any of you arm chair schmucks to meet me face to face. I am glad you know my name. Now f*#k off!!!!!!!!

Is this the same Roger that has been retro-bolting Dixon Lake and Mission Gorge?
I've been losing sleep over this guy.
Where does he get off threatening to chip classic routes?

Retrobolting at the Gorge? What routes? I thought all the manliness had already been bolted into submission at that once-proud crag.

Everything is bolted at the gorge now, bob. Lead bolts on hangmans, a bunch of bolts on the wasp and everywhwere else. I was alerted to it when someone referred to mickey finn as a "2 bolt sport route" online. Me and Rick put up mickey finn in 78 as a tr. Its so short that it barely needs a rope.

MOTHER-FU$KER, I was down in San DIego for a week last week visiting family. Yes, I knew it was there. I did nothing except swim in the ocean, drink beer, and watch carriers (usn#73 George Washington) come to port in Coronado.
Good time though.

It's cool, Woodson is actually pretty lame. Wouldn't have made any sense why a half dozen boomers are threatening to punch each other over how to establish 12 foot slabs, but there's some good cracks to practice on...

I know, Greg, it's kinda like Castle Rock State Park up here, but our slabs go up to 30-40'. Still nice to get on the stone and work the moves.

Forget the bolts, think about saving the rock !!
Woodson, Gorge and else where.
I know bolts have a place, I've hand drilled many where appropriate.

Re: La Jolla bbq, that might be Chuck Berry sitting next to BVB, looks like Judy at the grill. Maybe Roger the big blonde guy out of focus? And who is the f'n poser in the straw hat who looks like he fell out of a 6 inch high beach chair? Probably says a lot about his climbing (non) skills…
Oh, and are Todd and the Big Blonde having a 2 person circle jerk?

BeeJay, you're close. The guy next to the Van Belles is Chuck berry, Judy parenio is at the grill, the blonde dude is Roger peck, the impossibly burly man in the hat is me, of course, talking to Linda peck and the girl in the bikini top is Shari (one of the triplets), which means John McManus is nearby, tho not in the pic. You musta been home knitting doilies that day. Or maybe you and Greg were throwing tr's at Santee, he's not in the pic either
