Well, Scotts into hooks and besides isn't hooks wat some use when da offwidth is too hard? ..... just sayin'.... ps Pete H, Sacherer is thin, then hands then a offwidth then squeeze. The OW part didn't come out very clear. Same with Bride of Wyde, thin then hands, fists, OW then squeeze. Unless you're fat. Then ya lieback it some, maybe get a chickenwing in. pic of me liebacking some on it: 9" Valley Giant. I don't loan those out.

Some of them. I'm missing a #4 Vermin Hook, think I took it out to Beacon and it was reshuffled in one of those ledge scenes on it takes a village of 12 climbers to watch Ivan. Ivan, that was your lead off the ledge: do you have an extra large hook? If so, it's yours to keep since you (obviously) need it more than me, I just want to know. It's the 2nd from the large size. Verm quit, so these great hooks are impossible to obtain now.

I have more pictures of socks if you need Pete.. LOL! Share your pics of the valley. Must have been too gripped to take pics of Moby dick.

Something we used with good effect was to take a picture of the topo in the book, and if you needed to look at it at the belay stance, just turn on the camera in view mode and zoom as needed. Then delete it off your camera later.

Werner's socks went up the route under his rock shoes for protection. Me later on Knob Job: It had been years since I'd done this route, probably had EBs on the last time, and I remember it going up and right and as real stiff. So my buddies are all like "No, it's only 10b dude". When I got to the top and started up and right, they're like: "whoh dude, where are you going?" "That's something else, some runout 10d, go left and up and it's a 5.8 finish"....Ahhhhhhh haaa - love guidebooks and alert buddies. I don't see any pics of Moby Dick right, thats a good one too right there Scott.

Merry following Werner on Sacherer Cracker. here's a good one of the Upper part of Sacherer. Werner just getting to the business part. Good one for your Scott as its nice that you get real good pro before you get high up there and get your ass and forearms kicked on the wide part.

Last Sunday, didn't go climbing: too tired. However, did go try and spot a potential new cliff, and our little dog Sadie met a new buddy and got to share the new friends toy. ...for a while.

Another Werner pic, as a young dude on Death Crack.

Sorry - I didn't catch this, thought you were just f*king with Andrew. (I guess you were too LOL) John F is a great guy, solid climber but just a solid person too, anyone who knows him or gets out with him knows this. While we wait: here's some Vally stokage to get Scott warmed up. Oh, Will: on the 5.11 wyde stuff, Scott has to walk before he can run! Andrew Trzynka on Sacherer Cracker. Tape your ankles or were the old school socks/hightops combo for this one. Steve_Lyford and Stan_Miller up on Butterballs on the Cookie. Visting with Werner and Merry Braun. Stan Miller on Lower Cathedral Andrew on same with the awesome local Dave Hardin below taking a rest. In case we need any hook or beak pictures, fortunately the price tags were removed and all those Toucans have been used now. Easy local wide: FA of Dulcina Couple of FA of Bride of Wyde, local wide. Fish copied the forum post and made it a trip report PDF on Wide Fetish. Good site if you are so sick as to indulge in that wide stuff. You should run out and do Bride of Wyde as a warm up, In sequence, your pro is #4,5 6 and then an optional #4 Bro. Here's Werner's pic of a young John Bachar on Cream: Check out the swami and the pro, one more reason not to fall.

Tell it again?! Follow along and lets do the Homey the Clown song first. LOL! Ok, pull up a chair little childrens and Homeys got a story---> [video:youtube]

I knew this should have stayed in spray, KNEW IT!!!!! It's a shame.

LOL! She did my shoes once back in the day too Andrew. Did good work. Last year on the trip down while the boyz were up on the East Buttress of Middle I bumped into her at the store and said hi: she talked non-stop on what they were up to for at LEAST 2 hours. WOW! I kept trying to excuse myself but it just kept going on and on and on.... She's a great gal, but as much as she talks, Werner may be the perfect dude for her being hard of hearing and all.

Man, that's where my best work goes.....damnit. I have pics of Sacherer Cracker and Moby Dick when my legs were good trip, I'll go find it. edited so I can keep my inner asshole in check:-)

What makes for a "great bolt climb"?

Yowza!!! Get some! I spent 2 weeks as camp bitch in June when I'd trashed my legs and was unable to climb. I thought it would be difficult but I really enjoyed just being there with my bros. They liked my soup stuff.

...and spin the camera around a few times and shake it too....

Anyone having Voters remorse other than Kevbone?

No one has helped you out yet and I don't understand it either. Sorry. Saw this one. WTF? I'm not ranking on folks who believe this, but what is up with it? Really. Is the increase of the deficit over and above the startling $700 million Bush brought to the table as he left going to cost you or me our 1st and 2nd amendment rights? It's so much bigger than a few right wingers. This seems to be widespread. Wuzzzup? Did the Hamilton Farms guy move down there from Chehalis?

On the video, that "Insurgent" looks like he's got a wheelbarrow. WTF? Is he a farming insurgent?

Good times. Just a heads up - if you are looking to score either a few grand or a great pistol, I understand that the Sig P210 has a SIGnifigant price difference in our 2 countries. They are highly desirable and no longer made.

Words of wisdom.... edited to get out the bullshit unnecessary and mean words.....

edited to be nice. Sorry dude, my bad.

That's called an ass...great view of his ass Kenny.....nice

uhhh, so ...without your cow bitch you're single now. Congrats.

Well you should jut be happy that your prayers and wishes that he lose his hearing were answered Doug, proving that it's only 1 wish per customer so you should have considered that a bit more carefully since Rush used his one wish on getting implants and his hearing back and screwed you wish all to hell! LOL __________________________________________________________________ Meantime, climbing update: the First Ascent -Piss off the bolt haters de Jour tour this weekend went well out at Cathedral Formation at Gothic rocks. 2 pitches, 25 or so bolts. 300 feet about. In pictures. It was a cold day, we started late and shivered anyway. Got back to the car as the sun was just on the horizon or so and the evening gloom was starting. Opps, only 5 or 6 bolts up I fell. Pull the rope, next batter !! Hoping for a clean ascent. Opps:-) still on P1 A little text.... "Who cleaned this shit-assed chossfest anyway? "uhh... you did?" "Did not, wasn't it you?" "Hell no, the rope overhung so bad I could barely drill." "hmmm, that explains all the loose shit anyway, hey, when you come up, bring the crowbar, the brush the hammer and screwdriver and also yank that big pillar off too when you get to it." "OK, I have that stuff and I'm there now.....got the pillar..." (yanking....) "Dude, you're going to pull it on yourself, HEY! be careful!!!" "Thanks for that advice, I wouldn't have considered pulling about 500 lbs of stacked blocks on top of me and it's really helped me to be relaxed now: LOL. Oh shit, there they gooooooo" BAMMMMMM! Benny styling! Must have finally found a solid section and didn't need to be tossing rocks off. Best picture of the day (and only picture of Pitch 2) Ben with goggles on following Ujahn and I on it. The rope has a bag and a wrench in it we hauled up to give you an idea of steepness for this pitch. No falls on P2, great rock. P1 had many big and small rocks pulled off on lead and by both followers. All pics except the goggle and pictures below by Ujahn seen here. The rap off P1 from last June. Yes, it was rap bolted by the Lil Dawg. Not enough bolts as it turned out LOL! You can see the overhang where I fell just left of the rope there. Great view of the Old Witch from the other side. Here's a pic of her as a virgin from before I left the rap anchor. Route name Coe-Priestly 5.10C or so. FA Oct 10th 2009 Ben Priestly, Bill Coe and Ujahn Davisson Gear, 15 draws although we have reason to believe bolts will immediately be added by the next party. LOL!
