Climb Eastern Canada

Yes Ladies and gentleman its true Zamboni has had his cherry busted and is now a Traditional climber. After a pratice lead (on top rope) he climbed "first steps" at Columbus. We the stoners are all very proud how our little boy has grown up and finally become a man.

Now if only baby Steve would step up (grow up), so we could make him a man two.

i had my first trad climbing experience this summer as well and it was awesome. good views and you feel totally exposed. great feeling
oh and im learning how to bolt, yeye

Not that I am trying to start anything, but just please remember the bolting ethics that we have here in NS. Often the first couple of times a route developer puts something up they tend to screw the bolt placements up or put bolts near gear placements. I know from experience, I have put some bolts in that I'm not to proud of. Its a good idea to go out with someone who has done it a few times, until you get the hang of it.

Hope I don't sound to preachey. I don't mean to.

Man its great to see so many people roped climbing, went out to mainface to put up a new route and there were 2 parties allready there. One group had about 8 people in it. FYI Stoners go out almost every weekend we usualy post here if anyone wants to hook up.

Rock on

by **climberwannabe** » Sun Sep 25, 2005 6:21 pm

maybe we could get some bolting practice on some the buildings in Halifax.

Haha..

Today was great, A new route went up called Banjo Crack (people were playing banjo while we were climbing) (insert redneck joke here). 5.8 Trad pg 2 meters right of second pitch of sleeper. FA Sir Punshon and myself. Outstanding climb still a little dirty but 2 star route.
