Location: NM : Los Alamos & White Rock : White Rock : Below The Old New Place : (10) Flesh-Eating Gnats (5.11b)
By: Jason Halladay When: Nov 2, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: The bolt spacing between bolts 1 and 2 on this line is pretty spacious and could possibly result in a not-so-fun fall. That said, I've never seen anyone fall in that area. We did discover a .3 camalot fits pretty decently in a horizontal between B1 and B2 but didn't fully load test it. Maybe just enough psychological pro to help the leader move up.

Location: NM : Los Alamos & White Rock : White Rock : The Overlook : South/East side : (29) Thorazine Dream (5.11d)
By: Daniel Trugman When: Oct 23, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Awesome. That is exactly what I was hoping to hear. To clarify my previous post, I do not condone chopping bolts. I think it is equally destructive (as far as the rock is concerned) to remove a bolt as it is to place one. I was merely pointing out that Roger had a valid point in saying that the FA should have been contacted prior to the retrobolt.

By: George Perkins When: Oct 23, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: For this specific climb, please do not remove the controversial bolt.
The first ascentionist (Tom MacFarlane) has provided his guidance. While he was not communicated with prior to the retro-bolting it is Tom's preference that no further destruction of the rock occur by removal of the additional bolt.
Feel free to skip the 3rd bolt, and/or place protection in the horizontal crack, if you want to climb Thorazine as it was originally established.

By: Daniel Trugman When: Oct 21, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: While I agree with you J. Albers that Thorazine is a better route with the bolt in place, I think Roger brings up a valid point about contacting the FAs before the modifying their routes. I think it is disrespectful to retrobolt a route that has a recorded FA party (Tom and Brian) without first soliciting their permission. Please respect the vision of the FAs by not tampering with their hard work behind their backs.
To be clear - this is not a personally directed toward J. Albers. I'm sure you... more >>

By: J. Albers When: Oct 4, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: I would agree that stick clipping the first bolt is wise, but you should have no need to pre-clip the second. If you blow the crux, the fall on the first bolt is clean other than possibly hitting the rope, especially now that there is a glue in instead of that semi-old SMC rig that used to be there.

By: scotthsu When: Oct 1, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: A couple of us (including both bolting and anti-bolting advocates) have begun informal discussions on if/how the Los Alamos & White Rock bolting agreement might be re-written. I am trying to act as a neutral moderator during this process.
I ask everyone who cares about this issue to please post at this new forum thread and express... more >>
