Hmmmm...got a rental in Yosemite West for the month of May, i'm doomed. By the way, i would be the last old school trad climber to diss sport climbing.....i think it's way fun.
Nice!!! I am living in Idyllwild that month or I'd beg to join you! Where you goin' in June? I plan on being in the valley for the bulk of that month... :P
Nice :) Been needing to go back there and try more routes, I've only done Yggdrasil (Red Dihedral) as a day hike, positive vibes looks great and so does Sun Spot. Hopefully in the next 4 months I don't get injured, should be good enough to try those routes!
TORK!!! WOOT! That really is one of the funnest climbs and formations I've been on.
gdavis,
"I've climbed with maybe a dozen or so people that talk sh#t about sport climbing but won't climb a move harder than 5.7 unless they have a piece clipped above their head..."
I don't think we've climbed together. How do you know me so well? heh
bitd, if ya didn't have the balls to do something, ya waited until ya did. BUT, today, if it was my kid (or grandson) that was learning to climb, i would say "HELL YA..."! Using yer head, and keeping it safe, is SMART (imo). And I would now say FU to anyone that put somebody down for doing something as simple as ^ that. It's all about having fun. And no damage was done to the route/environment.
Let us know!
