i just gave wren industries my credit card info. i actually don't like attention. i'm kind of anti-social in some ways -- or, rather, i enjoy doing things on my own (yeah; that's it!) , and that's partly why i wanted this device. anyway, i can hardly wait for my new parnter to arrive ... (no more stressing out over not being able to find someone else to climb where and when i want!)

"the hooker" ... hmm ...

in terms of the-closer-to-seattle-the-"better" ... where? (and is there a guide for that?) ps - not interested in concrete, and looking for v0-v4.

TG: If you qualify, Wren will give you a pro deal at wholesale - which is an "affordable" $135 (thanks to my car being rear-ended while I was in Salt Lake). Don't know of any other deals around.

thanks, glen. i needed to be reminded of what i loser i will always be! i actually honestly don't care if i'm always on welfare and will never be "worth a shit" ... so long as i can still go climbing and skiing.

Good luck wit dat... well, i haven't found anybody around here that carries them yet. i can always send them back for another model and/or size; i'm just hoping i'll get lucky on the first try. i was also fishing for info on how much they stretch, but they're a pretty agressive shoe and i don't know anybody around here that uses them. anybody???

i'm less than 24 hours from ordering one - yeehaw!!! anybody with experience care to share?

i'd prefer a good merlot next to a nice rare tenderloin medallion.

not really "groovy" but fun nonetheless: get spanked!!!

lambone, i hear ya. i used a bible a year or two ago at camp muir. let's just say i was glad i had a bunch of safety pins with me! (ps - got worked up on "chaos theory" this morning. aptly named!)

i'm looking to get a pair of dragons. anybody have any hints to give me on sizing - preferably in comparison to la sportiva's rock shoes (like the mythos and miura)?

i drove out to city of rocks to spend the night and hiked around for a couple of hours the next morning. gave me a lot to dream about! it would be a magical place in the moonlight ...

i don't think there's any rhyme or reason to when i wear a helmet. i tend to mostly when i'm trad leading ... but not exclusively and not always. hmm.

quote: Originally posted by Thinker: good routes on good limestone are fun. A whole different world without the friction we're used to in the PacNW. i think it's fun! i'm going back for more tonight. i guess some good came out of getting my car hit and being "stuck" here in utah.

quote: Originally posted by glen: Kick ass on the .11! You've been climbing since what, april? yep, basically only been on rocks two short times before april. april's when i hit it hard and got hooked. the 11b/c was sort of a joke. i mean, i DID flash it, but i even i could tell it wasn't really an 11. maybe a 10c/d ... but man oh man it was FUN!!!

ha, ha; don't hold your breath on that one!

well, actually, that would be chris sharma. but anyway, i got my first taste of limestone climbing out here in utah (american fork) ... and it is spectacular!!! for someone who's addicted to granite and plastic, it was a truly fun and exciting change of pace. i flashed my first 11b/c last night and can't wait for more ...

got my vanilla bean gu today. we had to open one up at work today to try it out and we all agree it's "not bad" but we wouldn't really want to eat it ... unless we HAD to.
