Well done Timmy, thats an old classic. I didnt realize they had put bolts on that. Better hurry and grab your gear, they are about to close the gate! lol

I think the first ascent was done with the bolts there but if they were added later they should be chopped. Although i feel like starting any controversies over this route would end really really bad lol. What do you mean they are about to close the gate?

@@climbingforlife1 That route and several variants were climbed many years ago by folks on trad. I top roped it 20yrs ago and there werent any bolts on it that I remember(For what thatsa worth, lol). At that time there were no top anchors so you had to bring a towell to protect the trees at the tops of climbs from the webbing or rappel rope or the rangers would give you a ticket. In refence to the gate, we always had to get out by just after sunset or you would get a ticket. Thats where the term Sunset Park came from. The video ;looked like you were climbing right around sunset is why I said it. I need to get back out to Sunset since there are so many great climbs there. Try Liberty Bell and Wind Walker when you get a chance, they are down on the south end.

BTW, although I am an old school trad climber I have no problem with people putting bolts on routes since it makes it safer for more people and this sport needs more people to get involved to keep things going forward. If I dont like the bolts on a route, I dont clip them. Its very simple. Its just an old dudes opinion.

I know it was absolutely wild there was like 15 people watching me and it’s literally like a Colosseum with everyone sitting above and behind me! Although I was so dialed in near the top all the moves were so flowy I was in the zone and don’t know they were there till I topped out.

Looks like you’re my climbing partners.. your favorite activity is backstepping the rope 😅 nice work tho using the leg jam for rest!

At 2:00 you can hear me say "I know" because I knew my belayer would say something about me backstepping the rope so I am aware. The top is incredible and I can pretty much complelty recover with the jam rest!

Beautiful style brother. This shit right here. Why place bolts when it can be done clean :( *sigh* It's all about ego. Good on you man!

Idk this a strange one i can kind of understand why the 2 bolts are placed up top but the first bolt is just absurd.

@@climbingforlife1 Back in the day, I lead Prisoners of Zenda... what 11b/c on "trad". There were a few places that felt splatty so you know what I did? I rigged a static line (Thanks Todd Skinner for the idea! RIP :( ) and was able to send it safely. My point is... folks tend to let ego get in the way of what's best for the crag / rock. Sure, my static line lead / freeclimb is no where NEAR in the stellar style you did this in! But.. I didn't place any bolts either lol. :) (neither did you!) Anyway... i'll show myself the door. :)
