  1. I was freezing my ass off on an ice climbing trip with Bob once after getting soaked and the screaming barfies. I wanted to stay in the car and warm up, but he verbally abused me until I got back out.

     

    I thought I could hold out, but his talent for verbal evisceration turned out to be too strong.

     

    I sold all my ice gear shortly thereafter.

     

    Bob's like the opposite of Kevbone: too smart for his own, and other's good

  2. I had been saving "Crack of Doom" 5.11b/c at City of Rocks until I was strong enough at trad to have a chance of onsighting it. After a couple of years, I did onsight it. I did it the .11c way, too - not using the cheater holds, but pure crack style.

     

    The "Bela Lugosi traverse" on Layton and my climb "Plan 9" in the Pickets was one of those moments where you don't know what is out there, but you go anyway. Overcoming gripping fear on an FA is right up there on the satisfaction scale.

     

     

  3. Anasazi velcro, Boreal Zen's for most anything.

     

    Just got a pair of the new Anasazi lace-ups - they are edging and smearing machines! They seemed to have fixed the heel-box problem this time around. :rawk:

  4. If you go climbing most weekends, conserve energy at work for climbing, watch your weight so that you can be a better climber, take health supplements to avoid injury and boost energy, lead at least 5.10 on trad and sport

     

    you are a good climber.
