Labor of Love

This route wrapped up a summer of bolting new lines in Cascade—bolting therapy I called it—to keep myself busy and occupied. This one took the longest to clean, and my fixed rope also got stolen. I'd left a fixed rope on the climb for easy access while bolting and more importantly so that people would not climb it and pull off dangerous loose blocks that I was cleaning with a hammer and crowbar.

(The rope is a black static line, if anyone has it or know who does please contact me.)

I definitely was angry when the rope was stolen - it was new this summer, and I took it as an insult that while developing something for the community I'd have something taken from me, but I calmed down and reflected on all the kindness that people have shown this summer while I've been dangling on the wall cleaning and putting bolts in. Everyone I've interacted with has been either curious or grateful; sometimes both.

In the end, it was my decision to choose love over anger and hence Labor of Love it is.

Please bring a brush, and wear a helmet. There's some loose rock still, and there's plenty of dirt. It should go from a two star route to a three star with cleaning.

UPDATE: the stolen rope was returned!

Currently it is the leftmost route on the wall.

6 bolts. Feel free to toprope and lower off Mussy's.
