Stupid, stupid, stupid insurance talk. Fuckin' idiots. Get a real life. Try climbing harder than you right-brain, over-calculating, wussy, fearful-number-crunching pea-brains will allow your quivering, weak flesh. That is, over-bolted 5.8
Note to self: this is the kind of passive agression that comes from the frustration of not being a smart enough to get a good white collar job, but not having the skills to be a good blue collar worker.
Insurance: The ugly middle ground.
Erik is further proof of this - they both deal in insurance
I have been taking pure synergy (superfood) for a few years now - that helps by balancing my dietary intake.

But for years, this was the recipe:
1. Deadly semen buildup
2. Killer green bud AM/PM
3. caffeine AM
4. alcohol PM
5. Good food

Who was afraid of heights when they started climbing ? Or still?
I remember having the goal of reaching the top of the UW wall for 1 year or so before I finally did it (solo, of course). I was so freakin' afraid of heights I almost peed on my first follow. Now I am fine with it, albeit 14 years later...
I heard a comedian once talking about fear of heights:
" I am not really afraid of heights , because I can be up 3000 feet, and if I am 20 feet back, I am fine."
"But if I am 20 feet up and on a narrow ledge, I am scared shitless !"
"So I guess I am afraid of widths !!"
All I see is an "modern art" type picture of our Blessed Saviour. Mr Catbirdseat I think you must have been at the catnip again. I'd suggest you give yourself a good whipping and say a couple of prayers real slow like tonight. Kitten killer.
It's unfortunate that you didn't sop and do some of the quality climbing on your way to the real hole, West Texas.
You would find some excellent and varied routes in that fine state.
Agre wih the bivvy, though, but it could have been worse, especially if it happened in Texas.
