From those crafty Dynamic Metal Masters, no less. You have to wonder why they didn't use their ingenious captive-ball gate closure thingy on that. Looks like a good one for climbing gyms and hangdogs, though. Think how long your biners would last!

You're a witty fella, aren't you? Careful coupling Pope's nom du screen with DFA's; you're liable to incur his Holy Traditional Wrath! Traditional wrath? I thought you were a sporto? Oh, and does Blue light special have a hold broken or something. That thing is NOT .11a! Where are you running into trouble on Blue Light? And "Holy Traditional Wrath" was in reference to Pope, a decidedly tradly fellow if ever there was one.

Aww, Ray ... did you wake up with yet another "Mr. Wrong" this morning? Poor thing! You must be jaded as can be on this whole dating thing, eh? Chin up, tiger!

Hmm ... could be, could be. PS - "Flask" -- that's a good one!

Who gives a fuggy if it ain't that big (and really, if something the size of a small car is hurtling down a hill at you, are you really going to just shrug and say "hmph. Ain't that big.")? It's 10 kips of rolling death, screamin' comin'atcha like the Wu-Tang Killer Bees!

On closer inspection, it turns out DFA has a Khamsin 50, and his lid does not convert to a fanny pack. But the Khamsin the Doctor has is not the same as the ones they're putting out now. Seems to be a little less alpine-specific than the newer ones.

It all stays in and around the packs in the corner by the closet in the front room. Fortunately, quickdraws take up precious little space. The ropes, for some reason, always get put on the shelving unit in the mud room in back of the house, along with the cooler and assorted other junk. Have a good day, now!

What are you on about, there, mate?

Try the new problems at the PAGETOP rock!

So what turns your crank? Watching some saps suffer out a forced bivy at the lip of a serac under an avalanche-ready cornice, huddled under their rope bag and anchored to a tent stake? Woooo!

Hmm, they must have fixed it. Now then, let's shut the fuck up about this, shall we?

Oops -- you can credit http://www.8a.nu for the misinformation.

Should be working now.

Some [bleedin' Yorkshire] hardman by the name of Matt Birch just gave Slashface (V14 for those keeping score at home) its third ascent, after Chris Sharma and Fred Nicole. Video: http://www.huecorockranch.com/video/Video 5 QT.htm Nice work, Matt!

Hard to say. Plus who knows if the chippers are fully chipped or just enhanced holds? Like the jug before the crux that apparently used to be a bit smaller before a certain CJ enhanced the hell out of it. There is a chipped pocket after the aforementioned jug that one could maybe skip, but the Doctor doesn't remember exactly where the other ones are or what the climbing is like there.

Churning.

Just a few, and one glued-on sidepull thingy.

Your bran just pooped? What? Gross!

It looks like a positively stellar line. Looks like killer position up around the third or so pitch up on the arete. Who's "A"? Has he chipped ... err, put up any other routes at Smith?

Maybe this Fall. It does look like a good line, and the first pitch is definitely fun. What is it overall, .13b or something?

RuMR, DFA was perusing some ooooold posts on smithrock.com and noticed that you had been eyeballing Five Easy Pieces. Did you ever take a stab at it?

Thanks. The Doctor took one of Muffy's online "How Tu Emoat Wiht Ermoticns" classes, and it really made a difference!

Neither of you has a point, do you?
