Distel32

I'm not climbing today or tomorrow. I climbed the last two days. Currently I'm having trouble staying still. I keep crimping everything in my room. All I want to do is climb. I have to wait until Saturday. This sucks. I really want to pull down on some rock......

did somebody say Distel was a truck....? werd werd

following two weekends after this one I'll be there

yeah I heard about that, the show did go well. Thanks to thad, wirly, girlclimber, buckwheat and everybody else who showed up. Probably around 50 people in a 75 person room, so it felt good. I'm going to seattle this weekend, and if some people are interested I can bring my computer and you can see the slide show on that, better than not seeing it. Let me know if interested

Here is one more pic, should be a good time!

looks like some tasty granite!!! the angle makes it look super bad ass.

WWU Campus map The Viking Union is building number 8 on the map. Follow the directions to campus on the map. You will be able to find parking in 16C, and can walk across campus to the VU or try and find parking off campus on the north side by the VU. If you enter the VU up by the bookstore and Viking Commons, you will see stairs over on your right. Walk down the stairs one flight and 552 will be right in front of you. If you enter the VU from the north side down on garden street, walk up the stairs to the 5th floor, and there will be signs to 552. It is right next to the little post office and round tables with chairs, easy to find. If any of you have trouble finding anything, please call me and I will do the best I can to help. Hannah, I called you back but your house has chronic never answer the phone disease! Can't wait to see ya. Luke 206-399-5366

I also got pretty close to losing lunch when I saw Dru get this huge flapper when he came screaming off the top of black dyke v0

The show is tonight! You seattle boys coming up? Pub club after?

that slice is fucking grim man!!!! Sorry to see that, hope it heals up real nice and quick like. Two other bouldering injuries that always make me cringe is seeing the video of Dulac shattering his ankle, and another clip of some dude in Boone popping two tendons. I always have to cover my ears.

doesn't hurt, but there are about twenty other ways you could maximize training time that would have much greater effects on your climbing.

oh yeah, Mike did both pitches of pack animals direct in one long one, with no hangs, what a bitchin' dude! Girlclimber is currently posting more pics in the sport climbing gallery

mostly A, but I always feel bad having her belay on some project for like 20mins.

hhhhmmm if it happens to be march20-28th then Joe's Valley sucka!!!

yeah thats what I originally tried but that glued flake is big, plus I felt like I wouldn't tear all my tendons trying to do the match. No didn't get to the second bolt, only spent about 5mins on the route, tried the start of the crux sequence like 5or6 times. Pretty hard though. Thanks for the beta, the other hard moves just look like big moves on fairly good holds, true?

yeah man but it is hard. In the last pic of the sequence I matched that flake up high twice, but couldn't move off of it. Got both hands on it and blew off. Definitely one I would like to work on though.

CBS is right, just as I was starting to climb I made 3 trips over, the place worries me know though. Holds break at smith all the time, but at least no 80ft tall 5ft diameter pieces of the christian brothers or morning glory sway when you push them.

Friday February 20th The urge to get to smith has been building on me, two weeks of cancelled trips is dragging me down. Mike Layton and GirlClimber (Hannah) are rounded up and brought down for some mud wrestling. This would turn out to be Hannah's first ever climbing trip, a very special honor for Layton and I to be able to be her "firsts". The Players: Hannah Mike Layton and myself, neckbeard shot especially for Dru So I pick up Hannah in Tacoma, hit up PDX and grab the bum Layton on the way down. Upon seeing Hannah's shoes in photo above, Layton started shaking and had an epileptic seizure, he drank a PBR in the car and felt much better. Saturday February 21st Got up, headed over to the crags. Got Hannah to do her first ever climb! She cleaned Easy Reader (5.6) with no problem. After seeing her walk up a climb, I thought I would try to do the same......I think I picked the wrong climb Yeah got my ass whooped and almost fell on Layton's head, he would of liked my butt in his face though, I just know it.... Next we headed over to Blue Light Special, I talked it up to Layton and told him that he would be fine on it. Apparently my ape index is significantly larger and the crux deadpoint turned into an all points off dyno, Mike was outta control!!!!! Unfortunately Hannah has all the pics of these shanigans and will have to post up. Since Mike couldn't really make the move, he lowered down and renamed the climb: "Fucking Suck My Dick" We even called Mr. Watts and he had no objection to the name. Decided we better go do something casual, all three of us ran up cinnamon slab for a grand old time, then headed over to morning glory to end the day with nine gallon buckets. While getting ready to lead it, Layton made a comment about really needing some Hard-A. Three middle aged women heard this comment and immediately started to ridicule him, typical times, strangers clowning on Layton, almost like stealing candy from a baby.......Also some lady took like 20 pictures of Layton, took down his address, and told him repeatedly that he looks like John Cougar Mellencamp. I decided to head up after Mike and while I was closing in on the anchors Mike forgot who he was belaying. I don't mean he just forgot what my name was, he didn't know who was on the other end of the rope, what a bastard. We rolled back to the grasslands and it was damn cold. Probably about 35f with close to 25-30mph winds. Some dudes came up to the car and asked if we had any mustard (wtf?). But then all was better when he invited us to his teepee with a woodstove. We were skeptical, but not as worried as Hannah. She fell asleep at 7pm and slept all the way through until 8:20 the next morning. Layton and I strolled on over to the teepee and sure enough 4 people in there with a woodstove burning. Had to be at least 70f in there, ppeeerrrrfffeeccctt! Layton downed some PBR and a 24oz Old English 800, yummy kids! We went back to our tents and saw all of SkyClimb's friends from corvallis. Their little party consisted of 4 of them sitting around a fire, drinking cheap beer, and all talking on their cell phones. What is happening to the youth of america? Sunday February 22nd Get up, Layton is hungover. Head to the Sunspot for the killer breakfast deals. After eating our meals Hannah claims she ate everything on her plate, however Mike and I immediately notice the huge ball of butter she didn't touch. After a little pressure and some jokes, she forked the golf ball of butter and took it down, even chewed it for 15 seconds or so before swallowing, hard core for sure.... Driving to Smith Mike was telling us how each awful breakfast ingredient would give us energy in some special way, I retorted with: "Man, NOTHING is bacon powered!" Did some warmups at morning glory, some sorry gaper stole layton's shows and it took him 30mins to find the guy, who was leading cinnamon slab. Mike made him anchor in and immediately take off his shoes, took the dude 20mins, a sorry sight indeed. Headed over to Morning Glory and happened upon a rope team of two extremely attractive ladies, Layton blurts out, "man I would love to be that rope!" Layton busted out the PBR belay at 1pm Did another climb then headed out around 3pm. Both days were gorgeous weather, Layton and Hannah will have to post their thoughts and pictures as Hannah has like 30 quality shots. Hannah also though Layton was a sketchy character (which he is), but the trip turned her a little bit and she is now accepting of all types of people, even Mike and I. Luke

Choss pile vantage, will this hold break off right now? the answer is yes

one arm pull ups don't make you climb stronger. crimp strength and contact strength, damn I want both!

royal flush at 11worth. roof crack crack house down in moab, 100ft roof crack

So mikey and I are going to be down the whole weekend. Hopefully see some of you gapers on the tuft

hhhmmm depends on what time on sat. morn since it will be a 4hr drive down for me, is friday night late ok?? then come back sunday?
