Tassy's hardest trad climb 17-Apr-2014 At 10:21:14 PM johny

Yeah about the bolts. I agree its a bit weird to not clip fixed gear on a route. There are three more cracks left to climb on that section of cliff (grades 28-30) and all of them are effected by existing bolts. Some of the bolts will definately be removed. Once the cracks are all climbed we will consider the bolts again. Its not my decision.

The gear ripped because I just screwed up! I was pumped and chucked in a bad cam. There is obvious to place bomber gear that I used on the red point. The route has so much gear it really does not matter if you mess up a few pieces. The bolts around the crack are unnecessary.

We may clean up that video and put it up on youtube in the near future, but more than likely we will just re-shoot better footage.

Hey thanks again for the belay on Shark Hunt M9! I hope to see you back at Buffalo next season.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions!
