  1. I wish I had bought a size smaller (leg loops are cinched all the way down). Nice! Thin climbing legs. Hope your upper bod looks like Franklin's
  2. The mountains live
  3. I'm surprised nobody frenched you and climbed through your belays to pass.
  4. Leave Tuesday morning. Drive to southern oregon, sleep. Drive to the Valley and pull in late. Sleep on your mat in line in front of the Kiosk and you're guaranteed a spot. 7 nights max until you sleep in line again.
  5. Was that the only climb with him or was there another day?
  6. I was in Yosemite for 7 weeks last summer climbing and it was damn hot (90's and hotter!). Timing things just right can make it tolerable. Very early starts can get you high enough for cooler breezes during the heat of the day. Do that 3 pitch 5.9 next to Munginella in the afternoon for shade (NOOO don't do Munginella). Do Central Pillar of Frenzy, north facing. Do anything you can manage at Cookie Cliff after 2 PM. Get up extremely early and do the Serenity/Sons linkup. This is my favorite multi pitch anywhere. The 10d crux is a short breeze and the rest goes at 10a or easier. Do Snake Dike. Wearing a quality Camel back type of pack on climbs is nice for hydration. 30spf! I'll think of more later.
  7. A troll indeed. Low post number, volatile remarks...yes a troll.
  8. Pinkpointing rules
  9. I remember doing Angel. I swear there was a black ooze flowing from within it. Oil Baby!
  10. I couldn't muster the balls to do Zodiac last summer. Damn!

    Tricks

    Damn, now the whole world knows my habbits!
  12. Enough of this nebulous talk of "Van Island" or "Chiliwack" limestone. Is it worth a trip? Should I dust off the Hilti?
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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???
  16. Yeah, nightmares
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. I swear to god, peshastin scares the hell out of me. A bunch of sand castles. Lightning Crack was cool.
  21. Is that the columnar prow visible from I-5? I've taken a look at that each time on the way to the Valley.
  22. I love those Petzl animation directions! They are second only to their pictures.
  23. 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?
