  10. no topo but here is a description: Flyboys 18 Pitch 5.9+Parking is at the pull off for the swimming hole and parking for Prime Rib and Restless Natives. Walk 200 feet back down the road to the east, the trail will be visible on the opposite side of the road. Follow the trail up into the woods. Continue on the trail through the boulder field until you come to a Y in the trail. To the right takes you to Restless Natives and to the left will take you to Flyboys. Follow the trail to the gully where cairns take you up the gully and exit right at the largest cairn .The start of the climb is next to the tall dead tree. The hike should take about 30 minutes. The route is designed both as a walk off or a separate rap that parallels the climb. Rappel stations are visible either on the way up or when rappelling down. Belay stations have 3 bolts at the top of all pitches. Rappel stations have three bolts and two chains. Do not confuse the two. If you are climbing the route a 60 meter rope and 16 draws will suffice. At the top of the route follow the cairns to the top of the trail where it joins the walk off trail of Prime Rib. It is about 20 to 30 minutes back to the road. If you intend to rap the route a 60 meter rope with knots in the ends will deliver you to back down to the base of the route. BE ADVISED that all 60 meter raps are rope stretchers. A 70 meter rope is advisable for safer rappels. Do not take this climb lightly. This is an alpine sport route. Although all pitches are bolted this is a long and challenging route. Enjoy and please be safe!1) 5.9 9 bolts From the large snag route starts 40 feet to the right in a right facing corner. Thin face crux up high. 2) 5.6 8 bolts Easy ramp to 15 foot block, mantle onto slab and continue to chains 3) 5.8 10 bolts Steep face to staircase leading to exposed belay. 4) 5.9 11 bolts Traverse left into intricate face moves followed by sustained face climbing. 5) 5.6 5 bolts When second arrives move belay 4 feet towards gully. Extend 3rd bolt with runner to avoid rope drag. Continue past rappel anchor to base of pitch 66) 5.8+ 9 bolts Tricky bulge leads to excellent arête climbing. Walk 40 meters south to base of wall to start next pitch 7) 5.9+ 8 bolts Stemming corner leads to steep and wild face moves into crack. 8) 5.8+ 16 bolts Sustained enjoyable climbing leads to large ledge with cairn and 50 meter walk to south to start next pitch. 9) 5.9 15 bolts Perfect pocket pitch. Scramble up and to the right of flag tree for next pitch. 10) 5.9+ 10 bolts Over hanging jugs in broken flakes leads to expose belay. 11) 5.7 14 bolts Diagonal face leads to clean slab. Walk past trees to south 50 yards to start of pitch 12. 12) 5.7 9 bolts Sustained moderate climbing through corners and overlaps.13) 5.8 14 bolts Continue climbing through corners and overlaps. 14) 5.9+ 9 bolts Stay left on arête to short face followed by traversing flake into squeeze chimney. 15) 5.4 6 bolts Follow bolts through easy slab trending left to stance above gully. 16) 5.8 7 bolts Step across abyss to exposed arête and jug ladder.

    dang when the time is right we need to do another get together. and not in the city. some place where we can get our fingernails dirty.
  15. Dang you wear the exact size I wear, but I honestly have found a couple pair of boots that *do* fit me without being "uncomfortable"...so there is no way I want to part with them for that cheap. I would say if you can't get them here then find out what does fit you (go to REI or something) and then buy a slightly used pair off of ebay. That is actually how I got my last boots. I find that both the La Sportiva and Scarpas in size 44.5 fit my feet really well. Everyone is differently, so don't be married to that particular size for every boot! You have to try them on.

    @layton please do tell the story in detail. But leave out the parts where I’m involved. I remember girls rolling around in the dirt, someone fell off a bridge, and some degree bashfulness the next morning, but I honestly can’t remember it all too well for some reason.
