Legends? Lies? FarFlung Notions? I have 2: I met The Bird during a "climbing sale/installation", and he told me his latest project was a blank sandstone canyon he found and drilled routes into it. The walls were 80 feet high, and every move was representative of the grade. A5.10b was a .10b every move, 5.11, 5.12, etc. Great for training! 2. The guy that taught me to climb was the primary partner to Hugh Herr for years , and told some amazing stories about Hugh. Once when he was trying to climb this horizontal roof 20 feet off the ground, but there was no gear, so he set opposing pieces with double ropes to equalize the side-to-side before the roof, then climbing out 10 feet on a horizontal roof, and Z had to sight a path and run when he fell. Which he did.

The new .45 gauge Snaffle can be shot FROM a gun to wreak havoc on enemy encampments from a distance. OMG!! I just blew beer on that one, Dru!

Yay!I got The Gimp back!

Dru. It's over. Can we have friendly HelloKitty back

Brown Ale, Clean Crack, Id Dihedral, Crescent Crack, Overly Hanging Out... Hell, I even miss Hand Jive, Penguins and Caboose.

Yo, Dog. That's wack.

"Tea-bag him, Dave!"

Well? Where's the TR? I heard that someone got really drunk...

Here's a useful link

Getting ready to lead, and your belayer sez: "Ya know, I really should get a new rope one of these years. This one is pretty trashed."

I got my cam back. Thanks, Mike!

Bummer, Mike. But there is all those veins and arteries to memorize...

Voice from directly above you. About 100 feet: "ROOOOCCCKKKK!!!!! "

Dear Lame MF: Better not bag oouut on me for Squamish , Sunday.

"Yeah, so there's a deathblock mantle on that next pitch Be careful out there?" "Here's all of the #00 rp's I could find. Be sure and nest 'em up real good, cuz that's your last gear for a while. You'll cruise it, though." "Don't mind that band of loose rock, it's only for 15-20 feet."

Your belayer while you are on a difficult lead: "Can you wait a minute up there? Uh-oh, I can't undo that knot..."

That picture of David on it, fuly extended off a sidepull crimper below his waist .Siiiiick!

There's also the refrigerator size block on Wartley's Revenge that came down recently (with some help), that fell nicely into the belay stance.

Wow, They are really tearing up the climbing discussion over here
