Right on. Will have to check it out. Stoked that my truck smells like climbing gear again

Well handled gents 1st offense: a stern tongue lashing regarding local ethics 2nd offense: a terrible 'accident'

Ex-lean ‘n mean weekend warrior/ current full-figured suburbanite seeks PRG climbing partner I’ll gladly provide a solid belay for your 5.13 test piece(s) (beta available upon request) if you’re willing to tether yourself to a sandbag or two and catch my 200+ lbs as I squeal ‘n peel off 5.6-5.9’s Schedule’s currently wide open. Bio: 10+ years experience, have led up to 5.10b trad/5.11d sport, have climbed in NH, TX, UT, NV, AZ, CA, OR, & WA. With that said, I haven’t laid hand to stone nor plastic in well over four years. Best regards, Robert

It has been howling up here...rain blowing sideways...power outages...it's ugly

Keeping up with the posts on the various climbing sites, I know this...that if, God forbid, I ever end up in a similar situation...your words of hope and warmth will play over and over again in my mind. Cheers, Robert

I'm available 'at will' -Robert

Our thoughts and prayers are with them

way too many to list... Most of the three (or more) star routes (below .10b as I haven't been on anything harder there.) At each grade, I'd say these are my favorites: 5.4 - The Bong 5.5 - Right On 5.6 - Fote Hog, SW Corner 5.7 - So many at this rating it's difficult to choose, but as silly as it is, I still dig Overhang Bypass .7+ - Double Cross w/ WOTWS a very close second 5.8 - Tons of great routes here too! At Your Pleasure...check it out. 5.9 - High Strung is still my fav at this rating w/ Direct South Face a close second 10a - Way too many at this rating...Ball Bearing is a kick, but Dangling Woo Li Master is waaayy fun 10b - Did Illusion Dweller as a night climb (awkward down low), but Caught Inside On a Big Set is tops. Spent close to 8 years climbing there off and on and barely scratched the surface.

JL's at least as big as me...guessing 210-220(or was, haven't seen him in a couple of years)...was cruising .11's like it was that time of day Though, I'm sure what his 210-220 is made of is much different than mine. Sure, I could still pull .11's...if you put a 4 in front of the decimal

It's what makes my pants tight Length just makes me walk stiff-legged

At just below 6'...at 204, I was pulling .9's...at 165, I was pulling hard .11's moving into .12's STWR (strength-to-weight-ratio) At my current weight, I'd need the strength to pull the rock over on top of me

I'm wide open during "business hours" on the weekdays http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?username=hangerlessbolt;

Hey hey hey...don't make us move that hunk of rock across the river...cuz we'll do it!

That's gotta suck...esp the schlep out

Bummer...I had no idea there was a Butte cleanup this weekend. Spent the weekend working in my garage. Donated a couple of truckloads worth of stuff to GoodWill. Got the gear room fairly well sorted. Got all of our tools organized. Got the bikes up. Got the dive gear up. Sharpened the tools and 'pons.
