Great TR. I knew this wasn't going to be a normal TR when I saw the Yoda.

"ahh those beak anchors bring back memories... "

Shudder. Should beak and anchor even be in the same sentence?

I really don't remember the anchors being that bad (I was jugging/belaying on them), but Chris assures me some of them were. So, I take back what I wrote earlier about respecting our bolt count. If someone else does this route and thinks an anchor sucks, feel free to back it up. No bolts for bold climbing = cool. No bolts for bad anchors = stupid.

Thanks Yo for being about the funniest damn writer on the planet! I was worried I'd wake up the rest of the house with my out-loud laughing.

Missed this one first time around.

Gems like this is why I resist the frequent temptation to delete the Supertopo favorite on my browser (now if I had a "Ignore Bush, Politics, and WOS Button" I'd be pretty happy.)

I'm about ten inches under water right now so thoughts of dry, red sandstone are about all I can hold onto. Great write-up! Here's a little accompaniment from a while back: http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.html?topic_id=332630&msg=338865#msg338865

Wow. Simply epic TR. If you've gotten a swollen noggin from all the praise you've received its deserved.

Kudos to Dougald for his post "If someone else does this route and thinks an anchor sucks, feel free to back it up. No bolts for bold climbing = cool. No bolts for bad anchors = stupid."

The last part is the most refreshing,sensible, and responsible comment on the matter I've heard in a long time.
