***updated in the middle****
CTM will gather on Wednesday, May 14th at REI (Lamar&5th) for the monthly meeting of minds.
Among the subjects being discussed is this one:
Proposed new bolt on Backflip. Proposed “runner” on My Name is Mud
Retro-bolt two very old, often climbed 5.9s at Reimers? That have seen, like, zero reported accidents in the last 3 years? Routes that are 30 feet tall with 4 bolts and chains already? We at SendAustin are quite liberal with retro-bolting, and consider each proposal, you know, case-by-case and everything. We’re very familiar with Backflip and My Name is Mud, and in this case, just stop. Get over yourself and your drill and stop. This proposal will not pass RRCC, and is not worth the time it takes to introduce. During this portion of the meeting, the staff of SendAustin (minus one intern who has to stay and take notes) will be goofing around in the hanging sleeping bags.
***update*** SendAustin learned that the lovely Jen M. did have a bad fall on one of these route recently. That sucks, Jen! We’re so sorry to hear about that, and to have not known sooner. We hope she will recouperate and be back out Sheclimbsing. etc., soon.
In other lands….
A Yosemite Climbing photography exhibit!
If you’ll happen to be around thataway, we hear they will have free wine
