I was just on the Nose route page on mountain project and apparently Erik is planning to add anchors so that you can rap off the nose from dolt with one rope. WTF is with this guy?

"As of Fall 2016, you can rap from Sickle Ledge with one 60m rope. The goal is to get the rap route from Dolt Tower set up for one 60m rope rapping in early spring 2017. It gets very windy on the Nose, and folks spend so much time on the lower part of the route dealing with second ropes that are blowing around, that these new rap stations should be super useful. There have also been numerous rescues due to stuck ropes. These new rap stations will alleviate some of the congestion from people slowing down to deal with a second rope, whether they are teams that are fixing to Sickle(have the second jug with the extra ropes in a pack!) or those that are doing a Dolt Run to practice, and will allow people to climb safer and more efficiently through the lower part of the route.

It is understandable that he would have a fascination with 'dolt'.

yes, it is old news.
Stewardship of Majestic Stone2.
Nothing really to be upset in comparison what he did before. If this can be count as destroying bailing experience? Example with short TR:
" We bailed from the Nose because I was suck and my partner is as#@&%e. And to addition to that Sloan ruin our bailing experience from Dolt. We could not use efficiently our second rope"

He won't be happy until the big stone is ready for birthday parties. If limbing, mid-pitch convenience anchors, bolting laddering around whole pitches on classic routes, and power drillng won't get the guy ostracized, this will hardly stir an outrage.

My partner's perceived assholishness increases proportionally to my own acknowledgment of my suckage.

Could we maybe get some AC up there? It gets hot.

If not AC, how about we string some drip irrigation lines for misters like they have in Vegas. Get on it Woot-D-Bag.

It's been that way for years, which you know probably better than anyone. I've done several routes on the Captain, but have had my fixed lines on the Nose poached at least a couple of times, and that was 20 yrs. ago before gym climbers thought they could just walk up to it and fire it in a day.

For those who don't think it's a big deal, go to Europe see how they've sanitized their outdoor places. Crowds, people climbing over one another on routes to reach a summit with a hut, beer garden and crowds of people. Not that I would mind having a beer on El Cap Tower, but it's beer I'd like to haul up myself after climbing up there.

NPS supports this type of activity. They can spend less of their precious govt money on rescues, and to hell with the resources (El Capitan etc) -just keep the f*uckin till full is all they care about.

Yosemite is America's Chamonix, and the Nose is our Aiguille du Midi.
