Thanks to copious supplies of equipment and ammunition by our hosts, we've been able to bolt about one new route a day for the last week. Not the HILTI rotary hammer in the foreground. Here is Chris is prime new routing form.
Initially we offered this crack to Mike Behr, one of the owners of Tranquilitas. He got us some chainsaws to help with the trail building. Michael used one of them on a rope to clear the "bushes" from this crack. Chris placed the anchors, his first bolts in Boven. Mike then bolted the crack. Once the hangers arrived, Chris and I "tested them" for Mike. We are still waiting for Mike to come and lead it and name it but it is sure to be an instant classic on the crag.
Nice butt shot of Michael red pointing Myths (23 or 24-ish) which is a variation on an existing 26 that has a scrappy crux at the chains. The variation ends below the major roof at "rainy day anchors". The entire route stays dry in all but the windiest of rain storms. It has a crux around bolt 4 and is a super quality line.
