Thanks for the info, Will. I was unaware that Jardine stole the cam idea. Pindude: When I was working for EntrePrise, I spent 3 days with Bridwell showing him how to set up a imprint wall for "Gym Bridwell". He told me he had that idea, and it wasn't very popular.

I never get tired of that.

But they also want your culture. Not the best scene if you are saturated.

just get on with it you two

Yeah. Jim Bridwell. The guy who wanted to bolt holds on El Cap, so everyone could climb it with a set of draws. He did do some amazing stuff, for sure. I merely said Jardine revolutionized free climbing, not climbing. Big difference, to me. And, yeah, the lowe tri-cams were also revolutionary.

Overall, I would say John Gill, but let's not forget our freak engineer "friend": He revolutionized free climbing

I had this problem a few years back, 'cept it was the .11 barrier. I hate training, so I started doing yoga rigorously. Within 6 months I was climbing 5.12

I think Chris Sharma represents NexGen pretty righteously.

When I was in Hueco Tanks for 2 months in '96, I saw Fred Nicole just float Martini Roof right (he had it wired), and saw another person working Diaphanous Sea (both V12). Both are unbelievable climbs, and at that level it seems a combination of training, genetics, and drive. Truly spectacular to watch. My $.02 Erik

i tally it up on the virtual abacus program iain sent me

You still climb way harder than I ever will. Props to ya, My Man

You'll never catch the king of freshiez

and even if you did care, after $3 you won't anymore.

Nice, Lummox

There was some serious blowdown at the base of GM.

It's spring - I recommend you book down to Yosemite.

The first picture actually has the Wortley's rack in it: 1-#3 camalot 1 - green metolius (.75) 1 - yellow alien 1 - green alien 7 draws. I ususally carry an emergency #1, but never use it.

Has a familiar ring to it, does it Rudy?

Dante's has $1 pitchers of generic beer on tuesday or wednesday night. I think it's making a comeback

Check out some of Jim Harrison's many books. His writing has immortality in it.

I think the art would be more entertaining if they did the feeding while he was still alive. Like today.
