  3. During the winter of 1990, after way too much to drink and smoke in the burbs of Pasadena, only sometime-climbing-partner Tony would continue onward to Joshua Tree with me. Tony was literally green from his hangover, and I didn't feel any better. We opted for something easy, so we climbed Walk on the Wildside which I had never done before. No smiling that day. The hangovers only seemed to get worse. We topped out then bailed the monument for some Edchadas and hair of the dog. That was a sick route.

  4. I put a photo of my next climb up on a wall RIGHT IN FRONT of my primary line of sight at work. I put this up as soon as I have a hard date for the climb. I also write the elevation on the photo in big majic marker. I must look at the photo 1,000,000 times before the climb. just try it, it is real simple but real effective

    If looking at pictures worked, I'd be getting laid a lot more by big-titted beauties.

  5. That Camel filtered sure is nice after the morning coffee and Little Debbies cookies. Breakfast of a Champion. Think I'll light another nail.

  6. Were you smoking non-GMO cigarettes? Cause that genetic-manipulation shit is bad for you. Just ask the Europeans bout that. No way would any health-conscious froggy be eating some Mansanto corn mush with the morning Gauloises. And their longer lifespans prove my point.
