Jay, you make no sense sometimes.
Sure, the fixie crowd has it's own "look", how do you relate that to the self-mutilating slacker crowd again???
Most of the fixie riders I know are badass riders that would never adopt the "world sucks. I hate myself and everything" attitude - they just want the shock value of the look.
Or maybe that was the difficulty of discernment....ok, I get it. Nevermind.

Pores don't open up and allow clearing of dirt, oils, etc with cold water. It's only a surface treatment. Too hot water damages the sweat glands by forcing them open to a water flush, imbalancing the natural pre process of dirt, sweat and oils.

I am sure all the burnt-out Peaceniks thought this was groovy, but man, like, Wow!
If you're not wacked on 'cid that shiz is just sloww Rainbow Convention burnout, Dude..
Every day is a beautiful new world, though, man, so keep the spirit.
My how they change...
Let's see, put up a bunch of new climbs on a virgin 300 foot sandstone cliff
On the agenda: the doc has a badass 12d and 5 feet away is my .11+/.12- pulling a bulge on amazing softball-shaped holds.
I have spent at least part of 5 out of 7 days of the last week there.
I fixed a bottle of wine with a shitty 1/4" bolt just at sipping level at the base of the new wall. Jesus, rapping 200 feet of vertical sandstone on a single static with multiple roofs (just to set anchors) and serious ab-pump from all the airtime took some getting used to, and at 7000' too. I'm OK with it now, damn I am going to be in good shape for the tetons in 2 months...

Last time I saw Beck he rode his bike from Goldbar to the Leavenworth Rope-up with minimalist bivi gear and that wild grin I remember so well.
Still as wacky as ever!
Just don't go climbing after the flight and lose your camera with 75 alpine shots on it from a belay 80 feet up.
