dude i have been wearing prana since it came out and i went to bishop before distel even started climbing
you just are not part of their target market i guess - no gorts in the catalog
in the car on the way back
DISTEL: "Someone registered The_Nodder as a user name at boldering.com"
DRU: "... I was thinking of registering The_nodder as an 8a.nu user with scorecard actually "
so I invited the infamous Luke Distelhorst aka Distel32 to come up to my local bouldering area and climb this thing I had cleaned but knew the sit start was way out of my league - the YELLOW CAVE
i left work early and met Luke in Chilliwack. then we went out to the lake.
on the way out many unclimbed and developed boulder fields were pointed out to the young'un who had only been in this part of Canada once before at 6AM passing thru with Polish Bob
we got to the lake and hiked in to the yellow cave. the moss was wet and the boulders slippery but only a couple of pitfalls were made.
climbed fat man's balls as a warm up and distel inadvertently made the finishing tips jam into a huge jug by breaking off one side of the crack
cleaning and climbing. distel made quick work of the yellow cave lip traverse and the standing start to the straight-up but was beaten by the lack of footholds on the sit-start... outstanding project!
i fell off the lip traverse when my heel hook made my leg cramp up and a bug flew in my ear next time i will drink more water and less coffee before bouldering. i am so dehydrated right now and this beer isnt helping
when i saw i wasnt gonna get the lip today (distel named it SUPPLY AND DEMAND) i decided to scrub this other problem up a steep slab and managed to climb it in a slightly dirty state after taking a couple of lobbers into this odd pit my mat barely fit into
on the way back we stopped at another area near hunter creek and made a quick sightseeing tour so distel could drool over this 5 star v10 corner thing
i'm certain about 25 pictures are gonna be posted to this thread but not by me cause i only took 3 and only 1 was any good.
hey mouthpiece now you got a new defense for your clients -"Your honour, my client is not guilty, because he truly believed he was saving the world from alien chickens when he killed that man!"
hey pandora or hannah or girlclimber or whatever yo name is.... "It doesn't matter that we did not succeeed, because we FAILED WITH STYLE!" I can't remember who said tthat first but it remains true.
