Norsky

I remember doing Angel. I swear there was a black ooze flowing from within it. Oil Baby!

I couldn't muster the balls to do Zodiac last summer. Damn!

Damn, now the whole world knows my habbits!

Enough of this nebulous talk of "Van Island" or "Chiliwack" limestone. Is it worth a trip? Should I dust off the Hilti?

where?

I can't tell you how many "fixed" pink tricams I have sitting home on my booty rack. I can't tell you how many tricams are "fixed" in my storage box along with figure 8's. Thanks for removing that junk from all the routes.

I was going to mention hexes in the same breath as my tricam bit, but I didn't have the balls. Hexes suck. I never even used them on big walls last summer. Stayed in the pig for the ride.

Nobody has mentioned any of the doo doo guides to City of Rocks. I've purchased Bingham's guide, looked through the Falcon Guide (which has reverse images), and purchased a sheit bundle of photo copies at the visitor building. A new one is due that is quality. What's going on with the Castle Ranch (Rock?) area???

Yeah, nightmares

A tri-cam? Holler if you have one and have NEVER used it. I have had one since 96 and I could still return it to the store if they took returns on gear.

Perfect... cause I know for a fact Norsky ain't pullin no ROTC in the near future. Homeboy's got a 20+ lb layer of winter fat hangin off of his gut. What a dick! I'm going on a diet and everyone knows it. I'm not sure Bird could squeeze in a trip to Midnight Rock with his grueling climbing schedule these days.

Anyone done ROTC? Looks wide...is it? I lost my old book and I've never been up to Midnight Rock. That's about all I want to still do in Levy.

I swear to god, peshastin scares the hell out of me. A bunch of sand castles. Lightning Crack was cool.

Is that the columnar prow visible from I-5? I've taken a look at that each time on the way to the Valley.

I love those Petzl animation directions! They are second only to their pictures.

I liked the story in today's report about "special agent" Todd Swain busting another park employee for embezzlement. I'm assuming this is the same Todd Swain of Red Rocks and Gunks guidebook fame. Where?

That's all I need to hear...I'm there!

This person does not realize how much it really does matter!

two pitches from the top of West Crack, right where it can join up with Crescent Arch. Two guys named Sol and Jimbo were coming up. One of them leads the pitch and sets up the anchor to belay. He yells "on belay" and begins to yard up the rope. Pretty soon he pulls the rope all the way to the untied end and sees his buddy coming behind him. "I see how it is" was his reply.

Hmmm...What would happen if a peregrin nested in one of the top huecos of 5 gallon?

The DNB is totally friggin burly and sketchy (for me). The descent is trashed as stated above. Talk to Link the climbing ranger during sunday coffee if he still does it for all the beta you could dream of. Serenity/Sons is my personal favorite free climb. sooo cool after the first pin scars.

Life behind the gym wall is surreal. Like I'm back in the womb.

On another note, I saw some solo aider self-belaying Japanese Garden (or the route just to the right) by tying off on that short tiny stump! Another accident coming someday. That thing would not hold a zipper in my opinion.

I have not seen your shoes, but I friggin love my Kaukalators! So nice for burly crack climbing in the Valley. No scabbed up ankles! Hope you find em cause they are "out of print"
