She can't--she's the one in the lower left of the pic.

I fall on lead a lot. That doesn't mean I am going to top rope everything. It does mean redpoint doesn't mean shit to me. Such is the non-sporting woman's dilemma.

Maybe it faded you a little?

"California" should translate to "don't leave for WA"

Its much cheaper to just sniff glue. I wonder when the shine of doing some lame "extreme" sport is going to dim?

Obviously--you didn't know how old I am, so of course you haven't done your homework.

Then why do people in poor nations with over 50% AIDS rates still fuck even after learning about transmission, etc.? Now that's risk.

Then again, Messner's body did have a windshirt on it.

Would that be liquid encouragement?

All better now, thanks Oly.

Well, for starters, green cheese it white.
