Comments: It looks like all the first bolts that have fixed draws are going to be upgraded to have steel biners, which should solve the issue of people having to frequently replace these with their own aluminum biners. Dave and Lauren Heerschap have been installing these. These two dedicate a serious amount of love and time to keeping the hardware at the Golf Wall safe. We were able to purchase these biners from the Rock Lounge and recently raised $200 for the purchase from a slideshow held there. Thanks ... more >>

Comments: Linda: Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot! I do have a novel in the works, which will be about mountain folks, dirtbags, and rock climbing. Not exactly sure how long it will take, but hopefully I'll have it out within the next two years.
Tim: word!
peace,
Luke

Comments: I added two bolts to the last section of this climb today. It was the only route on the wall that required gear placements, and there was a guy a while back who fell close to the top, and almost decked. So even though the gear is good up there, I made the decision to add a couple bolts, so that someone doesn't mistakenly get on it without gear and hurt themselves.

Comments: Thanks guys. Marcus, we'll def. meet up sometime soon.
D.E.W: glad you liked it. Have you read the climbing zine at all? If not, check that out it's very similar writing, but all climbing-related.

Comments: Nice, Will! We cleaned it up a bunch this summer. How did you end up getting off it? We built an anchor around a big boulder at the top to rap off. Peace bro, Luke.

Comments: Just noticed the comment above, it's been two years but figured I'd clarify. We added the extra bolt in 2003 with permission from Robbie Williams, who established the line. Originally there was a pin that Robbie placed, but a subsequent party removed it.
It was very runout after the pin was removed, so Robbie, myself, and several others agreed that a bolt made sense.
As for skipping the bolt because it would get in the way of the rope, I've seen countless climbers clip that bolt, and it runs... more >>

Comments: Looks like a great publication. Could not really read Tim's article though, as the text got really small.
Shouldn't be a difficult fix.
Cool idea for a college to do this.

Comments: There's plenty of folks gettin' after it, and keeping the dream alive. Will and I are probably just the ones geekin' out and posting stuff up on MP :) It is fun though. I actually don't even live in Gunny anymore, but I visited last weekend and took some photos to post up.

Comments: Cool, Man...I've looked at that crack a bunch but never done it, and I never heard of anyone doing it in recent times...I spent a bunch of time there bolting and working the routes and that slot on the left is frequently wet, but it does dry up in the summer. That's cool you did it with Rosholt, he seems like he was quite the character. Also cool to hear from you and Phil and the climbing you did at Hartmans back in the day.
