Crack

In another generation of Repeat Ascenders, it's really refreshing to see folks still breaking New Ground. No one thought Madonna would make it when she was rolling around on the floor in fishnet stockings -who's laughing now Kayfire?! Curious -what is the Leader carrying in the pack?

Fucking Awesome -thanks so much to all involved in making this happen...

Some team might've lost some game in some tournament, but life will go on, and YOU will still be a full time BITCH!! :cry:

Buddy Lee -where you been?!

Great job on (re)cleaning/scrubbing Private Idaho...hadn't been there for a year or two before going back there a few weeks ago. Really impressive -thank you!

Sex Party: Mid-East Wall is either pretty dreamy or boring, depending on what you consider 'perfect hands' over and over and over again...

I'll gladly continue to resole every stitch of life out of my last remaining pair of comfy Kaukulators, but I have been considering throwing down the cabbage and gravel for a brand new pair of tighter fitting something-just-like-Kaukalators...way at the top of my list are the Ballets, but the TC Pro and Acopa JBs are on there as well. Acopa Legends look cool too, but again, I've been hooked on my Kauks for like forever so I'm feeling like I'll probably stick with hightops...any other flat foots have any input?

Great *crack* climbing at Vantage! Lots of stemming = rests which can help the numbers chasing...

BERN!!

Uh...haven't seen that one, so it went right over my head. Anyways -I gotta say I've been impressed with Milton's fielding so far this game; maybe the left side of the field won't be such a weakness compared to the GG caliber up the middle and on the right!

Sweet grab in the bottom of the same inning as well! RRS is >struggling< though...

When I'm on a 'safe' route/crack which doesn't vary alot in size (like City Park), I find it more efficient to just leapfrog cams instead of placing (and backcleaning) nuts. I'll leave the cams attached to each of my aiders so that they are "ready" in French-free mode...also: cam hooks!!

I've never (yet) had an issue with the ones that BD makes, but the aluminum does seem to address what some folks on here were complaining about on an earlier thread...it looks like it would accomodate more screws as well. One thing that I do like on the BD version is the "hook" up by where the wiregate is hinged to the biner (I think it's even more pronounced on the newer gray version). It allows me to thumb through different (sizes of) screws without worrying about accidentally unclipping one -or I can have one sitting on the hook as I climb. Silly details I know, as it doesn't seem so long ago when I would just rack my Russian titaniums off of an oval...

Wow -no "Kayfire" on this thread yet?

Yeah, that center fielder is a crook -anyone know why they don't allow instant replay (for all plays) in baseball? Should be a fun season to watch, although I'm still not convinced about their starting pitching -which will directly affect that "solid" bullpen as the long season grinds on...

PM sent on the size 40s.

It's been a while since the Doc and I finally summited this route (took us three times, and then we still got benighted?!), but it was one that we vowed to do again and again as it was so much fun! Not being rock stars or aid monkeys and somewhat lazy, we only fixed the first pitch on a casual afternoon. It did save a *little* bit of time, and we didn't have to carry anything the second day (again, keeping the pace mellow), and didn't have to deal with as many ropes. The plan was also just to enjoy the climbing at a leisurely pace rather than to chase the daylight. The Lip was super fun to lead, but sucked to follow (again, we hadn't done much aid at all prior to this). I don't remember any of the aid or free climbing being too difficult. My favorite part of the route were the middle pitches -lots of moderate free climbing! Great rhythym, which came to a grinding halt at the Rotten Block pitch. Thankfully, it picked up again all the way to the top...

Yipes -now the gloves really come off!

Wow -they even managed to bring back Sweeney?! Their roster is getting stocked (for M's fans anyways); I imagine there is going to be some competition/incentive for mid season trading...

Man I think it's only fair if you let "Blanco" himself know exactly what your thoughts are too...it could be just the constructive catalyst to help rectify The Negativity -and DANGER!!

"I think it would be pretty hard to achieve a physiological toxic level of THC in your system" Those stoner folk sure do seem to try hard at it though...

Merry fuckin' Christmas kids! http://www.break.com/index/grandpa-ruins-christmas.html

Here is what's left: 17cm Express (no knob) 13cm Turbo Express 19cm Turbo Express 22cm Turbo Express Ice Clipper (1) -free...

$20 each: 19cm, 17cm (x2), 13cm $30 each: 22cm, 19cm, 17cm, 13cm (x2) *I don't need the Ice Clippers either, and charging for them would be silly -so if you are buying screws just let me know if you want them and I'll gladly toss them into the package...
