Damn I'm jealous. Those are some primo condition Altias. Mine stretched out into oblivion. The new white ones just ain't the same, and my ebay special blue Kuakulators were already stretched to the shape of someone elses foot. I miss my ugly green Altias!!!

I was just watching Michael Reardon's Joshua Tree video when low and behold it has someone climbing the Inquisition. Now it don't seem like anyone here would want beta but if they do ......
You can Rent it in Berkeley at Wilderness Exchange.

Favorite line ever (right near the end):
"My f*#king ankle was coming off, but that felt pretty good...for a minute."
That was GREAT!!!

That's F'n rad! Personally I would rather have a large angry Afro-American come after me with a big knife and bad intentions than try that. I think I would loose less blood in the long run. Russ have you tried to just reverse the move from the position that you want to finish in? What I mean basically work backwards from the position you want to end up in. Just a thought. Unfortunately it would probably end up with just as many falls quite a predicament. Good luck, looking forward to seeing the movie when you send it.

Well I guess I could lay underneath you and pad your fall. No, come to think of it I don't think I would fit.
OK Jay I can protect you from the knife wielding Afro-Americans out their while you make short order of the crack. I don’t think me cratering off of that thing will make the bottom any deeper. Hum might make the transition easer if you had more room to work with? Yup you guys are nuts. Besides your abs would be too sore to climb from laughing at me all day.

the inquisition is out in front of the rusty wall. i also did a nice steep finger crack called the cumalong. that is in the area along with a dozen other nice problems of mine. all the problems are located on page 95 of the JT bouldering guide.
anothr nice crack is the kevitation. it splits a steep roof and starts with some OW and moves through the whole range it thin fingers. the crux is a tricky couple moves to get you to the lip.
this was first done by Bachar and Lechlinski on top rope. then Mike Paul led it on gear. i bouldered it out from the ground.
another great wide crack that is not in the book that i did is at the base of figures on a landscape. from the start of the route follow the foot of the cliff down hill for about 60 feet and you will run right into it. it is hand and feet stacks out a vertical roof. it is called KD LIVE and is probably 5.12. i figure it has never had a second ascent.
i have lots of wide cracks for you if you like.
cheers

Actually it was called "Moving to Montana" 5.11c (is what they rated it in an old guide even though I thought it was harder) and was first done by Mike Lechlinski, but we were all there. Russ were you there that day? We would lead up placing one or maybe two pieces, do the crux, then chuck the rope down for the next contestant to yo-yo and solo down the opposite side crack "Leave it to Crusher." I had a much easier time when I used to boulder (solo?) "The Central Scrutinizer" which was called 5.12...

Re: Moving to Montana, Yabo soloed/bouldered that thing in probably mid 80's. Seen it with my own eyes and bloody knee.
Kev: we need more wide and secrets to that stinking Inquisition... come over here and fix us up: http://www.widefetish.com
What is the name of that video that has a guy doing the Inquisition, and who has a copy?
Off to the Stronghold.... out!
