spray paint dicks |
|
Russ....I'm all for getting that hardware painted before it's installed. Have you got any photos of the hangers and overspray on this pile? A pictures worth at least one thousand words. Glad to see you're back from vacation and out patrolling. |
|
Pretty lame. |
|
Better do a good job on the clean up. Lots of "repairs" turn out worse than the original work. |
|
Oh Russ, man... Yeah they are candidates for the Bottle Rocket award. But seriously, a note might do more good than pulling the bolts, Suggest some spray paint, and a $20 Wal Mart toaster oven at 325° for 20 minutes does the trick. Let them know. Spay painting in place is so not done. |
|
Russ... good on you. hard to get the paint off of dem rocks. |

"Better do a good job on the clean up"

You should go chase down the morons who put new bolts next to the old bolts on this route and left the old bolts right where they were. You can give them your lecture. |

If you need to clean up the rock... use this stuff. Works like magic... |

Russ is the Man when it comes to JT climbs, Im pretty sure he has climbed most of the climbs in the park and he has a good eye for just what is over the line. |

However, usually when someone gets their bolts chopped they just go back and drill new holes and place new bolts. Typically the best solution would be to take it up with the FA first and try to get him to correct his actions without outside intervention. |

If it can't be done to where basically nobody could ever tell, then something else will be done. I went out the other day to find a past atrocity that was erased. I could not find it, even knowing where the bolts were and I was for sure standing right in front of them. One of them was only two feet off the ground, and I could not find the patched hole. So no, the rock does not always lose.And if they do come back and rebolt it? Just curious.... |

I don't really buy into the "don't chop it, they'll just replace it" argument. |
|
Taylor J....then the bolts get pulled and the holes get meticulously patched. Costs less to pull and patch then to drill and place more bolts. |
