crazy! i didnt even think this was good until i saw how everyone was looking at him! I am psyched that it got featured! awesome! and those "huge yellow balls" are huge sloperish holds! =)
Knowing that the gym is mostly full of sporties, it's no wonder that a multipitch thought never came up. Hanging belays of course are the norm, since they're bolted up there so steep. But one gym bold on a 3/4 inch thick fibreglass wall isn't quite the anchor I was looking for. Hang from a top belay pipe and anchor. Then belay your climber across a traverse of many other climbs for 50 ft. or what ever you can do on their quickdraws. Lower off from another belay anchor above. (Leave enough rope for yourself to get down)

yeow! how did I miss ms. pinkie? What are those huge yellow balls on the upper left wall?
woodchuck07 says:
Featured', already. I think it's the red tape that takes the spotlight. Leads you right out of the dark to the climber. Nice shot again, Ash.

and BROCK, that campus board is super long, huh!?
woodchuck07 says:
They look like a good place to sit, tie in, and set off on pitch #2.
gonzobeer says:
Multi pitch gym routes? Theres an idea.

badash says:
That is a crazy idea!
gonzobeer says:
I might actually go to the gym then.

I think I've seen that one of them tall, silo gyms, has 2 pitch routes
woodchuck07 says:
Possibly down in Bloomington IL, at Upper Limits then? they have several silos besides the main comp. climb area.

That IS a tall campus board. *worships campus board* Nice shot!
