  1. yeah, in hindsight makes sense how you can fuck up your shoulder in the position i had it - arm was rolled over, palm inverted and flat against the wall and way behind my, kinda like you're reaching into the backseat while driving to get somethign off the floor - apparently the classic position for dislocating the joint, based on my exhaustive interwbe reading
  2. riverside is easy to spot - near the end of grassy ledges - a big fat bramble grows at its base and requires yearly pruning - jim calls it "mushroom ledge" and says it was the first ledge they developed on grassy ledges, before even the LOLP - there's a near 10 foot high step on the far end of the ledge - riverside requires a wierdo move just to get started, as i show in my full re-tard style here
  3. the highlight for me was leading into that part, growing confused as to how in the hell i'd done this in the past, deciding to just pour more ommf into the solution, only to hear my right shoulder make a loud, painful pop - don't know that i didn't momentarily dislocate the fuckign thing as it's been days now and despite resting it, putting it in a sling, etc. it still hurts like hell and's lost much of its range of motion - nature's way of telling me to go back to aiding?

    A worthy cause...

    you'd just spend it on pirate-beer.
  5. dunno maaan - you start trundling loose blocks on most of that side and likely you'll have the summit back down to the ground by the time yer done
  6. beacon bolting ? =
  7. sure would like to see the form - would be nice if we could put a sticky-noted link to a pdf in this beatard forum
  8. i like how the bottom of mine has been chewed to shit by fifi'ng to it when cleaning funky aid climbs
  9. seems a clear difference - who on earth thinks adding bolts to a pre-existing route is kosher?
  10. i dropped a jumar from the top of the upper town wall last summer - found it in 2 minutes once back ont he ground - been using it regularly for a year now and appears no worse for the wear
  11. never seen the form or experienced the wait time to get it approved - if you're just out here for a couple days i bet it would be too big a pain in the ass though - that said, if you're on the n side and just a few feet off the ground on a crowded day you might well enounter The Man and His questions
  12. the world will not rest until this very important question is answered
  13. maybe there was just a strong crosswind over the crapper?
  14. i can't really - that's why i picked up that ultra-kewl bolt-gun from vertical limit on ebay the other day Lord have mercy. indeed - i'm fucking up my bad climbing movie references - do believe that was cliffhanger that featured the mechanical hotness
  15. i can't really - that's why i picked up that ultra-kewl bolt-gun from vertical limit on ebay the other day
  16. fucker of mothers, for i gotz thangs 2 do 2morrow should be out there wendsday or thursday though
  17. yw is fine besides being covered in a tremendous amount of pulverized rock/soil/veggies/etc - makes the climbing momentarily much more engaging! unless someone feels like rapping the first 3 pitches w/ a broom i imagine it'll stay mexican-whore dirty for the whole summer... steve, when can you climb this week?
  18. Lapdog? :[] you thirsty kev?
  19. why not a rhode island climber? least in or you can be legally too high to notice the babble
  20. i'd be more nervous having a big load on cams in big loose blocks like on the corner ridge there fo'shizzle, 'specially when the mess you're cleaning up was the result of said blocks spontaneously trundling off
  21. why do more than pull the hangers? w/ that tree and all those blocks gone, it looks much more inviting to clean off lost warriors and whatever else comes up from down there and top out thataways...
  22. chopping bolts sounds suspiciously like work to me...

    summary: blah, blah, blah, everything in the world can be reduced to one person, who is clearly a devil in kenyan clothing
  24. i thought ya'll just bitched during winter?
