Aww Bill, maybe next year they'll add a Chossmonaut category, then you could give 'em a run for their money.

Geez Stalkerweather, obsess much?

Down on Popo near Mexico City I saw a pair of crampons a guy made for himself out of rebar. Seems like you can still get pins cheap enough that its not worth making them unless its fun for you and you use the "my time is of no value" equation.

No worries, why would a Beatard go that far to climb, they already have the best crag in the world. Now me on the otherhand, I think that's a sweet looking little crag...

Hah, sorry Goatboy, wasn't paying attention. Yes, FIUTT is a great route, really brilliant stemming. There's a 5.8 just left of it, same start, that has had a bolt at the beginning that came and went at least twice in the two years I lived there. The rationale was that if you need the bolt, use the tree instead, made perfect sense to me. Sounds like the tree is gone: mtn project: fiutt, that's a sadder bit of climber impact than the one bolt battle. This is the same crag you'll find Shriveled Penis at, along with Stoner's Boner (a route climbed by mistake)

Here's your official report: Calvin & Hobbes (10b) and Rubber Boa (11c) are the only fully dry things. Virgins (11c) is really close, looks like only part of the easy handrail at the top is wet. Futility Bill (11d) Shaking Hands with the Governor (10b) & Confucius (11b) are pretty close, maybe Saturday afternoon. The hillside above is still weeping a lot of water, but it sure is pretty in the sunlight right now.

I'll shuffle over this afternoon and take a gander, let ya'll know the prognosis.

Its best not to whisper to them while you're washing, "Ooooh, you've been a dirty, dirty rope," it tends to make them stiff. I've wanted to check out the hook it up to the hose widget, but have always wound up with Bill Coe's "just toss it in the washer" method, seems to work fine. Last time around I think I didn't rinse the woolite out enough, made for an unpleasant feel for awhile.

So, then my ability to remain mediocre for a really long time is a positive survival trait, right?

Kind of funny, you two guys are doing exactly what you accuse others of doing.

The phrase that came to my mind was "The drama queen says fuck off" though the google image search term that served up that stunning image was "joe the plumper"

Oh fine, now you want to get back on topic. Can we all agree that it doesn't seem like a big deal to folks who use their real names anyway, but its a huge issue for those of you wedded to your avatars? As you were, carry on, all that rot.

Party pooping two planker.

Thought I'd give the party a bump [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7MiG2fe8lE

Thamks, you've helped me achieve my goal of learning something new every day.

Oooh, does that mean you have a jockstrap guycycle?

I think the one on the right is just a bit more cool than the one on the left.

I'd like to remind everyone that this thread is not in Spray, so a level of politeness and respect is expected from all of you. Thanks. Off White Moderator

I don't think Bug would troll in the Climbers Board, he's pretty good that way.
