Haha you guys are hilarious. I'm sorry it wasn't clear - I was quoting Mick Ryan as an example. (And G-Spotter - what's all this about him pirating guidebooks? I haven't paid much attention to him in years - it seems he's moved out of Bishop and back to Britain?) I was not Googling "spray" to figure out what it meant - I was trying to find some sort of online climbing dictionary that would have a definition for the term that I could use to back my definition up (but I couldn't find spray listed in any of the online dictionaries, so I ended up in the RC.com forums). If you guys know of some sort of climbing lingo dictionary that defines spray the way you're defining it, feel free to show me up. And Muffy - WTF - spraying has nothing to do with the internet. (Can people not do it in person? Does it only exist through text?) Though your assertion that "had I slightly more computer experience" is a GREAT example of spray! (Are we doing nerd-upmanship now?) Allow me to spray back about how I've been familiar with the term since getting a subscription to Rock & Ice like a dozen years ago. I can understand how G-Spotter, being Canadian, would have trouble with the translation of subculture lingo into his native language, but what's your excuse? This round was closer, but Muffy again demonstrates clear superiority with brevity and lack of parenthetical expressions. Referencing Rock & Ice does not score points. Muffy: 2 Bosterson: 0

Maybe not so sharp.

I never said it had anything to do with climbing ability. If "spray" has been generalized to refer to any kind of BSing, that's fine, but I've always understood it to be climbing-specific, about spouting off on grades and sendage in blowhard fashion. And while I appreciate your charming attempt to "explain" to me what a wanker is, if I'd been unfamiliar with the term, I would have figured it out from that self-portrait you use as an avatar. Muffy wins this round handily.

I'm guessing if you ask, the Spring Picnic could be held there.

My best to you and the rest of her family and friends. - Tom

Folks climbed it on Sunday. Started raining Monday afternoon.

Tape is the equivalent of sticky rubber shoes.

O's are aid.

Is Outer Space alpine?

K Cliff can use a little lovin' as well. On the far left, Daryl put up a nice gear route called Special K 5.8. There are chain anchors to the right of the single bolt at the top. The crack is clean but the slabs at the start are a little mossy. Dropping down from the chains is a gear/bolted route called Rise Pumpkin Rise 5.10a 5x and pro. to 3" . Check out the titanium glueins. The lower section could use a light brushing. These two routes are in the shade. On the far right is Go! 5.9 3x and pro to 2." Section between second and third bolts requires thin gear. Some might find protection difficult to obtain in this section. The vines are creeping back onto this route. Plenty of other routes in need in between. K Cliff is on the right of the Inner Wall area as your heading up to Toxic Shock. There's a side trail to Special K when you hit the boulders.

Do you guys have to bow to the Queen on Canada Day, eh?

Unless you are lazy and are mostly a trad climber. why would a trad (free) climber have daisy chains on? Unless you are lazy and mostly a aiding while free climber. Or you think for yourself and do what works for you.

Who are they? Apparently, he is the Governor of South Carolina.

Yup

Go Mariners!

Shouldn't this be in POPE'S NEW MOUNTAIN BIKE FORUM

There's a set of chain anchors 20 ft. to the left of the normal p3 anchor (bolted route between TRL and Liberty Crack) which you may be able to fix to the ground, bypassing the roof. It's possible to aid from there back right to TRL across some stacked blocks.

There are bolted anchors up to the top of p6. Beyond there you're on gear. If you want to preview the free pitches above M&M ledge, take a lap of the Barber Pole route.

Ooops

This is total guide BS.

Depends on how you eat it.

The self-righteous cow ran the red lights.

Make you wonder what the guide told her. What organization was he with?

Climbing has soooo many rules.
