You will be lucky to get half that many holes in basalt. It is much harder to drill than granite. It's also slower going, basalt won't diffuse the heat from drilling. You need to allow the bit to cool regularly or it will get too dull to drill. If it is at gound-level application, keep a can of water nearby to dip the hot bit into.

Buffalo meat is excellent, IMO Ostrich, Snake. Pit roasted pig with game hens stuffed in the stomach cavity was way delish. I had some meats from a market in Japan that I didn't know WTF they were, but I was in an experimenting mood... Bear's a bit gamey... I eat Pu..., nah, I'll let Trask say it.

I'll be thankful when this thread passes.

"I overcammed this piece a bit, shouldn't be too hard to get out." "I always set my stoppers real good, so they won't pop out."

That was great!

To try and answer your question in a reasonable manner: There ae basically two approaches to learning to climb, IMO. 1. Take a Mountaineers (or other) class, and learn the safety, procedural and potential error and danger elements of climbing, then, incrementally develop your skills on the rock or mountain under close supervision. The assumption here is generally that people are accident prone. 2. Find an experienced climber and go out and follow a shitload of climbs, boulder, learn by trial, error, and the loose supervision of a "non-professional" instructor. The attitude here is that people are generally accident-resistant. Those of us in the second group feel strongly that ours is the best way to learn. Additionally, we feel that the first holds back many potentially good climbers by the fear that is instilled. We observe that many epics occur (within the first group) because solutions get lost in procedure, large groups are cumbersome, and the group leaders are over-cautious and reactionary. Hope that helps!

No. You are not a girl/woman so you don't understand how pivotal this is to their climbing world, so STFU!
