cool!!! by kevbone standards i am a 5.11 climber!!!! i am AWSOME

dude you can already climb harder and drink harder than me

sounds AWSOME!!! glad you had a good time!

i know just what you mean. i feel like someone took away my existence right now. i love to climb, but i would be okay if i could at least hike. not being able to play outside at all is like a death. I am in mourning. it hurts my soul and i don't feel like any one understands. *yes i know i am being a total whiner and totally melodramatic*

It'll be me and Muffs on our joint first ascent of the mountain completely naked. We will make history. AWSOME IDEA!!!! i will go nekkid but can you short rope me cus i get tired easy I don't know Muffy. I'd be happy to short rope you, sept I only have long, 75mm ropes. well fine then... i get a piggy back ride, cus i ain't walkin' OK. That works. We need to meet up and train for this though. I gave my gf a nekkid piggy back ride at the beach last weekend, and I had to work at making sure she didn't slide off! ya but i am a climber. i have a good grip. I have a funny story about badvoodoo and i shattering a glass coffee table. until that day i did not know it was possible to down climb a person who was falling backwards, but it was

You mean climb 5.10b? Even I can climb 5.10b. even i can claim a 5.10b but i was on top rope

i saw that when i was like 15. the thing about having a terrible memory is that i can reread books or see movies again and it's almost like i have never seen them before. *shrugs* yet another way that i am not like other people. i almost never quote movies.

are you saying i am stinky???

awwww that is so not true but still the sweetest thing anyone has said to me today Ms. Muffy, you are my favorite internet buddy! You'll always be the best in MY mind that makes me feel good even though i am out for the season. anyone want to ride bikes? i can do that

i have always had a nice arch in my foot. but it is falling.

here's to hoping it works

god i hope not cus thats what i am getting in 3 weeks

all over us girls who are buff

Archy, HOLY FUCKING SHIT I am glad you are okay. xoxoxoxoxo muffin

update: went to the footie doc. he said i can't climb hike or run for at least 3 months likely 6 months and possibly a year or more. he said that i have to heel the planter faciitis before i can do those activities. he gave me a splint thinger to sleep in and offer cortizone if i want it. mikey when you have some time i would like to talk to you about this. the doc did plaster casts of me feet for orthodics today. i get them in 3 weeks. they will be the hard ones.

i agree. it does depend on the kid and it should be up to them. Thing one loves to hike but Thing two we have to bribe. they both like to climb some but i let them climb where the want to and stop when they are ready. pushy parents make unhappy kids. it's suposed to be fun

i am back up to 143. i did hike around smith yesterday that helped.

that is easy... every climber is better than me makes that whole comparing myself to others take less time so i can get busy doing the things i really like to do i am grounded from climbing so i went to smith to walk around and look at rocks. I had a great time.

RumR, I think you mis read some of what i wrote. Having been on a slab that was so over bolted that route finding became and issue as a new climber, i do believe that over bolting can be dangerous. along with unethical. my comment about all the rocks being gird bolted was a projection into a very unhappy future if climbers don't stop being ass holes to each other. I hope that helps clear up the point i was trying to make. I am not against bolting per say. I like to sport climb and i like to lead sport way more than i like to lead trad. what i am against, is people putting up shitty routes, and unnecessary bolts. there is a lot of room for interpretation there, but that is what i am against.

yes i know people who chopped and epoxied the holes. and then the person who bolted bolted again and it was chopped again and epoxied again. and bolted again.... now people just ignore that fact that the trail is getting bigger and infringing more and more on the forest and that there are more and more people up there with less and less respect.

i couldn't agree with you more Joseph. I did not coin the phrase and i agree. it is a sad state of things when you say to people that you "went climbing" and they ask you what gym you climb at. things have changed and are continuing to change as more and more pedestrian PEOPLE take up all of the sports that are included under the heading *CLIMBING* fyi. i do not climb hard i will never climb hard. however it pisses me off that climbing is being brought down to my level. I started climbing because i saw it as HUGELY challenging. that is being taken away by a society that believes everyone should be able to succeed equally. i would rather suck at climbing and flail around all over the place and be teased by the hard people who can achieve at the sport, than have the level of difficulty brought down to my level so that i can FEEL like i can do something. that is no achievement.

YESSSSSSSSS! NOT being tempted is much different than resisting temptation. A breakthrough, indeed. it was a really good day.
