Yeah...I was turning blue trying to get her back climbing...oh well, gasp ...inhale...breathe and move on...I still like climbing and always will... How was your foray to the gorge??

Hey Erik... The wife rocked!! She came in at 4 hours 9 minutes and 53 seconds...this after having a baby 7 months ago and losing a month because of a C-section...I was stoked to see her go and she definitely paid her dues this summer... Now, if i can only get her back to climbing...its been 7 years so i'm not holding my breath...but one can hope!!

i agree the front side was not the place to be...we trundled up cocaine gulley and played chase the shade until it cooled down in the frontside... i think i saw you in the parking lot w/ Tex...but not sure since i've only seen photos of ya on the website...

Its a little bit intimidating...but still .12a... There's a slight right hand movement to skip the original crux of going straight up that slightly softens the route, but its still sustained nubs to the top...Also, this weekend was smokin' hot, probably not the best time to try that thing...

Yeah...That's at Summerville lake, near the NRG...during the summer, the rez is in so a lot of the climbs bust right out over the water... The really steep thing he's on is 12+ or something like that...if you look closely, you'll see the "winter" equipment...ie, bolts for when there is no water below...There are miles and miles of that stuff...

Whoops Try this one...

Check this...even DFA would like this... cs.html

Isn't that how every climbing trip goes? HA HA HA Oh well...I'm sure I'll get bouted...happens alot...

quote: Kurt Smitth is a retard. He drilled holes onto a big wall with a power drill since his nutsack was too small to climb it clean. I suppose your tiny brass nads are enough? Alot of shit talk from the peanut gallery if you ask me...

damn...you DO know me!! whiney -- correct short -- correct bitchey -- correct hangin' on the rope -- correct most of the time... you left one adjective out...that'd be fat ass... I'm leaving for family trip to Yosemite on wednesday...but i'd like to get one more day in...work schedule should let me go though...see you there... Answer me this though...Have we climbed together before and if so where??

Yep...i whine and cry and drop f-bombs routinely...Mainly cuz i'm gettin' on stuff that's too hard for me...so what...do i know you? Sounds like you know me... Let's crag...I'm always looking for partners w/ flexible time...

I'd like to try great northern slab...worried about the runouts though... Seriously, what do you want to try?

Plates from south dakota?? Are you a nubbin-pincher? Always wanted to get to the needles...man, there's some history there... Hey, isn't that area the king of chippin' and boltin' w/ power tools and dynamite????

quote: rumr....... i only do pro bono work for hot chicks!!! sorry anyone else? Damn...gotta get those fixed...

Whoops...forgot the cheesy grins regarding the sporto routes!! here they is!!

Gotta work tomorrow... I'll be at Index most likely this monday...let's crag!! Wanna do some of those long sporto routes upstairs or anything!

any time you wanna go craggin' 666...name the place...let's go...

he's too busy trying to instigate a war w/ Iraq right now to respond...larger issues in the world besides grid bolting el cap, you know

quote: i bet i could cut a 1/4 panel of a car and section in a new one...bondo, weld, sand and refinnish it better then cosgrove and smith put together!! who wants to hang with me??? I'll hang w/ ya if you make me a deal on some dents in my truck

plus, i'm really really bored at work right now...so getting his goat's feet would amuse me...

i'm mainly playing devil's advocate w/ the pointy eared satanic stool sample...i could really give a rat's ass about him or kurt smith anyway... I'm curious to see if i can get his dander up...i think he's a shit talker...

Well then, would it have been ok if they would've installed the bolts by hand drilling? If that's ok, then i don't understand what the commotion is about...power drilling is DRILLING, so is hand drilling...What's the difference? The law? Fuck that...there's been stupid laws before and there will be stupid laws after...just because its a law doesn't mean its right...Now, if it could potentially get climbing shut down in the valley, i'd have a problem w/ it...but i don't think that would ever happen... and i still stand by my statement that cosgrove and smith would crush YOU on runout free climbing...you got a counter to that? Let's hear it...

Mr. 666, Shut the fuck up assmunch!! Already established climb? Not as a free climb, tool...You are weak in your logic and probably in life... Much of the aid version of that route was on hooks and other shenanigans that a free climber wouldn't be able to use for protection as it was only good enough to move on...Mr. Smith would crush you on runout free climbing as would Mr. Cosgrove...and no, I'm not his "but" buddy as I've never met the guy... What exactly have you done to give you the right to smack talk about someone anonymously????? And what's w/ the stupid ass 666 crap? Does that make you a bad ass?? I think a dumbass is more likely

This is RURP: That guy said: "RURP...you're bein' a bird beak tool on this...Kurt Smith has put up some pretty wild/dangerous trad routes in his day..." Big Deal....so have a lot of guys. Groupies, I say. RURP has spoken Whatever big-wall-tool...my comment was based on your sporto comment from your first post...
