Julia had this great idea - on our rest day - lets go bolt some lines - and then we can climb them the next day ... well ... bolting lines is no rest day - it would have been if we would have picked the original lines that we wanted to bolt (just some face climbs - no big deal) - well - I was on my way to the top of the cliff when I walked by a spectacular cliff. The thing is - you never walk by it because its on an upper tier....normally you just walk past some choss and can't see past it - well since I was trending toward the top - and was like JULIA! COME OVER HERE AND LOOK AT THIS WALL!!!!!!
Its two clean walls with a body length roof in between them...and by clean - I mean really really clean - dead vertical - with very little features - though enough to be climbed (at least we hope) - it looks REALLY good....and bolting them ended up being a major pain in the butt. Thankfully I had Julia helping me down aid the routes.
I've been using Bob's drill with is nice - though he only has two batteries for it - and I get about 10 holes out of both of them....maybe 12 if I push it...but I had the Super Battery - which is well...super....really its like at least 100 holes....well I don't know how many because I've never run it out....anyways - doing roofs and downaiding with that thing sucks big time - but it gets the job done.....
So we have three new routes to try and send - they're at Area 51...
Sticking with the "Flight Deck Theme", we're thinking:
Air Traffic Control
Landing Strip
Baggage Claim
Stay posted....
