I watched Mike hand drill a good bolt on the lead from a stance that I could hardly unclip from.

Power drillers just go away for a while. Thanks.

I've omitted all the pornography but turned up the *FANCY GARBELBASE* to way past a safe volume

*What are you all? *

Vote for an Oligarch get an Oligarchy !

How' is it that a few bolts -well placed bolts, placed in a few minutes,
by modern means, any concern ?

Why struggle to get a shitty hole? Bosch da bitch,
Ry-Obie makes a great gas drill.. . .

. There is no good reason to hand drill . . . .it may be heroic, romantic
and an impressive show of strength .


Who cares How the bolt got there ?
Is it a solid anchor ? That's about all most climbers will care.
Are there three or four holes from prior bolts? That shows solid stone.
Are there off-round unsafe hand drilled holes?
That can be shown to exhibit why grandpa Kamps was so dead wrong?
I knew BK and talked to him about this. The way we went at it ! And in the Gunks!
Where bolts were also banned. And still are ;
unless you count the explosion of anchors for top ropes. . .
at the top of the first pitch of almost every climb!
I still feel that we should be able to use the most modern tools available, to protect climbs
so that the gear at least is as strong as possible

it is possible.



Who cares ? wilderness ? What's that grandpa?
I see a garbage can in the future for any place a women or a man goes?.....
the new climbers coming from the gym.? They for sure do not care.
They throw trash every where &. leave their dogs and girls
excrement where it was deposited.
Then complain when the stale air finds their nostrils, half an acre away, uphill.

In the home of ground up traditions on sight or back off climbing
They now have bolts fixed to every climb!

Who really cares is the sellers of gear. . . . .


Even a thousand bolts as that is the El Cap estimate,
That From some know nothing German brothers who were asked. . . .
Anyone have the Huber bros interview link?

Trump to interview ExxonMobil CEO for secretary of state

NEW YORK -
The face of Big Oil could become America's top diplomat.

President-elect Donald Trump is interviewing ExxonMobil Chairman and CEO Rex Tillerson on Tuesday to consider him for the secretary of state position, according to one Trump aide.

Tillerson is considered a long shot for the most prestigious Cabinet role, but the Trump aide told CNN that the president-elect is intrigued by the oil man's view of the world.

Other leading contenders for secretary of state include Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani and David Petraeus.

Tillerson would be the latest multimillionaire to join Trump's cabinet and he could prove to be a controversial pick. Not only does Tillerson run the world's most valuable oil company at a time of serious concern about climate change, but the Exxon CEO also has ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In 2011, Exxon inked a deal with Russian oil giant Rosneft to provide access to lucrative oil resources in the Arctic. The agreement could be a point of contention if Tillerson is appointed, especially since Democrats and national security experts have accused the Trump camp of cozying up to Russia.

The Russian government is Rosneft's largest shareholder, and Putin attended the Exxon signing ceremony. In 2013, Putin awarded Tillerson the country's Order of Friendship.

Under Tillerson, Exxon is also grappling with legal scrutiny.

Last year, the New York Attorney General launched an investigation into whether Exxon withheld information about the risks of climate change. Both the SEC and NY AG are also probing Exxon's accounting methods, focusing on whether the company should have lowered the value of its oil and gas resources given the crash in energy prices.

Tillerson, 64, has served as the head of the Exxon oil empire since 2006. He will reach the company's mandatory retirement age of 65 in March and is expected to retire then.

Through the end of 2015, Tillerson has made more than $240 million as CEO, according to an analysis from board and executive data provider Equilar. That total includes his base salary, bonuses, stock awards and other compensation over 10 years.

Trump has made no secret of his desire to be friendly with the oil industry. The president-elect wants to unleash the country's natural resources by rolling back drilling regulations and drilling on federal lands.

"America's incredible energy potential remains untapped," Trump said in a May speech, adding that the problem is "totally self-inflected."

Trump, who ran for president as a populist outsider who promised to "drain the swamp" in Washington, has so far nominated other ultra-wealthy people for his cabinet.

Among the richest nominees so far are billionaires Wilbur Ross for secretary of commerce and Betsy DeVos for secretary of education.

Trump's pick for deputy secretary of commerce, Todd Ricketts, is the son of a billionaire and co-owns the Chicago Cubs. His would-be Treasury secretary is former Goldman Sachs banker and Hollywood bankroller Steven Mnuchin. Chief strategist Steve Bannon also worked as a Goldman Sachs banker before serving as chairman of Breitbart News.

Whether he goes to the Trump administration or not, ExxonMobil is poised to lose Tillerson at a critical time.

Feeling the effects of low oil prices, Exxon is currently facing a long slump. Its U.S. pumping business lost $477 million last quarter for its seventh consecutive quarter in the red.

Exxon has signaled that Tillerson's heir apparent is Darren Woods. The company promoted Woods, who leads Exxon's massive network of oil refineries and fuel terminals, to the position of president a year ago.

Clinker, have you dry tooled at the pinnacles? If you have not, you are not using the park to its full potential. Putting up GU hand drill mixed routes there is the future of CA mixed.

Vitaly, I have not dry tooled at Pinns. If you do, have you tried its success as a pickup line?

We stumbled across fairly solid rock this year for new routing, contrary to Pinnacles standard reputation.

Last weekend I was roped in to a project that Mountainyoung and JC had started in a seldom visited area of the High Peaks, it was more typical choss and got my attention. Fairly solid stances though and decently protected, so I can'i complain. A condor flew by within 20 feet of me placing bolt 8. Pretty cool day.
