By: Tim McCabe When: Nov 16, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: Its been a long time but I know I didn't tape up for this. I do remember there being holds inside the crack. Also there's really no feet so your on your arms more, very atypical for the area.

By: Tim McCabe When: Jan 30, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: Brent I totally agree on the PG13, witnessed a near meltdown on it once, not sure about the rating its been a long time. Maybe things have changed holds break who knows.
Not sure exactly what Tony is trying to describe. For the second pitch I always went straight up a thin crack right above the belay. Always thought that pitch was the crux at about 5.9

Location: SD : Custer State Park : Sylvan Lake : Outlets : Campground Boulder : Central Yellow Wall (V3 R)
By: Tim McCabe When: Nov 27, 2011 | view comment >> | Comments: I watched a guy from Boulder pull this off first try no pads and only one me spotter.
He did a bold move by putting his whole foot in the ear like pod. I finally sent it right after he did using the same technique. That was the first and only time I bouldered this one, top roped it a couple of time after. If you were to fall with your foot in the ear no doubt you would brake it as well as land on your head.

Location: SD : Custer State Park : Sylvan Lake : Outlets : Campground Boulder : 5.7ish (V0)
By: Tim McCabe When: Nov 27, 2011 | view comment >> | Comments: This is a great place to finish out the day with a good burn.
There are several one move wonders to the right of this one. As I recall there is one 5.8 and a couple of more in the 9 range. You have to use the same holds a couple of times just move a step right. The hold you used for your right hand becomes the left handhold for the next problem.
There were 5 problems that I would do in 10 laps for a total of 50. Do them as fast as possible to make it a semi aerobic workout.

Location: SD : Custer State Park : Sylvan Lake : Outlets : Campground Boulder : North Mantle (V2-3)
By: Tim McCabe When: Nov 27, 2011 | view comment >> | Comments: As I recall there is a bolt above this one. But working out the start with a top rope was awkward at best. Once you are above the mantle the rope helps to work out the finish.
Back in the early 90's I spent a lot of time at the Campground boulder. Lots of sore heels from this one, that was before pads. Once I had the mantle worked out I jumped off quite a few times before I broke down and put the rope on it. Once you figure it out thou it's a great problem to repeat.

By: Tim McCabe When: Nov 7, 2011 | view comment >> | Comments: Peter
Sounds like you only replaced on of the bolts, IMO that's enough. Like I said above this doesn't need to become a one pitch climb. There's plenty of routes that people just do the fist pitch of. Usually its because the second pitch is way harder this is not the case here.
As for the old bolt pulling out easy not too surprising considering how old it was. But also remember that no button head bolt is meant to take an outward pull.
Anyway good job with the one bolt repair job.

Location: SD : Custer State Park : Needles Eye : Bell Tower : For Whom the Bell Tolls (5.11b R)
By: Tim McCabe When: Oct 26, 2011 | view comment >> | Comments: I was living in the area when this route went in seems like I got the 3rd ascent. I remember something about why there wasn't a bolt after the crux. Not sure anymore but I don't remember the run out being that bad by Needles standards.

Location: WY : Devil's Tower : South and East Faces : Soler (5.9-)
By: Tim McCabe When: Jul 25, 2011 | view comment >> | Comments: There were 2 button head bolts for the first belay when I first climbed this route in 87.
You could easily build a gear anchor most anywhere on the climb. As I recall the first pitch is long but the bolts are placed to give a small ledge to stand on. These bolts weren't really necessary but they are nice as it helps one spread out at the belay and not have both the climber and belayer stuck in the crack.
At one point in the early 90's a climbing ranger wanted to upgrade them. Are they still bu... more >>

Location: CA : The Needles / Kern River : The Needles : Voodoo Dome : White Punks on Dope (5.8+ PG13)
By: Tim McCabe When: Jul 19, 2011 | view comment >> | Comments: There is no need to carry your stuff up the route. As I recall it was pretty straight forward to get back to the start. From the summit rap down to the tree at the top of pitch 5. It's been a while since I was there but I do remember good bolt anchors all the way straight down. At some point we always did one of them as a half rope. Just don't skip any anchors the one short one is there for a reason. You'll come out above and east of the start.
