Thanks, you guys for being such great stewards of our local crag(s)...we appreciate it. (Pass that on to J.O. as well …) Hey Bill, let me know when the fund-raiser comes around...and if you need any additional muscle. I’m always down for contributing to the cause. I can have Eric lift me up on his shoulders to clean the upper pitches. Have a great day…see you out there ~RB

Can you believe he's leaving us for Florida til mid Jan...what an ass 'sup Bill

See Eric...told ya we could name it

Bad ass home boyz!! good times...good times whilst you were out there...i was here...slavin to the man...until just after 10:30 p.m. (read: 16 forkin hours!)

Hey E, look at coconut slurpee...totally solid!

try being raised in the texas panhandle (ie. anywhere between amarillo and lubbock)

I think Eric was at 1/2 to a full load when leading the second section of coconut slurpee...complete with complaining partner...well hell, who wouldn't be complaining? My damned belay station was melting away underneath my boots!!

Pics are up...go check 'em out

"On the road again Just can't wait to get on the road again The life I love is going climbing with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again"

well, one outta two's not bad, eh

It's keeping up with the stride of a 6'7" giant on the flatlands...makes me feel like a freakin midget Okay, E, let's hit the West Face...I'll take P2, I need the practice

Yep, perdy exciting I heard a *POP* (woke me up outta my sleep...gotta love belaying aid) Then...*ping, ping, ping, ping, ping*...down went the (presumable) sleeve Eric was feeling pretty burly as it was...for P2, he worked the 5.9 sh*t rock crack, as opposed to traversing the death-rope-drag 5.4 variation...he took about a 10' fall on, what appeared to be, a manky cam Let's see...all of this after my near loss of a nalgene bottle to the river's foilage below...and a near loss of a #3 stopper on P1 Great route, great pardner, great time Sp what are we doing next weekend E?

The one I butchered when first moving here is: Willamette (will-am-et) not (william-et) or (will-a-met)

^^^LOL^^^

Koflach ? = Ko-flatch or ? = Ko-flack

What are you sayin?! That I'm getting sloppy 42nds??? EEEEWWWW!!! lol

SF, Nailed it to a freakin' T He peeled while slapping for the first reachy fingerlock...after that, it was all him. I gave it a run...figured it was .11-ish...cuz Bill sent me a PM asking if was feeling strong. So I could only assume he had some work cut out for me. I got worked...and now have the moves permanently etched in my mind (which is what happens when you do the same moves over and over and over and over again) LoL He hops back on it...I keep the rope snug but not tight through the opening sequence to keep him from crushing the ferns below. Other than that, it was ALL him. For the "Couch Master" he makes short work of those sustained routes Bad-Ass Bill, we call him LoL

We were climbing over on toothpick wall. Bill set up Blueberry Jam (5.10) and Toothpick (5.11c) I kept looking for the paddle on Toothpick...cuz I was getting my ass SPANKED!!!

Ivan threw me into a crevasse Ok, not exactly...1st he b*tched at some poor ol' lass who was complaining about his early morning ramblings outside of her tent...hard to believe anyone is still asleep at 7 a.m. in a public camp ground lol Worked our way to the lower part of the Elliot and 'tooled' around there for a bit...working our way through various ice formations 'til we got shut down and had to escape to an adjacent snow slope. Then we found a 20' deep crevasse to practice rescue techniques. Placed ice pro, rigged a z-pulley, rap'd down into the very narrow crevasse and jumarred out Good times...Thanks "E"

Of course the only night available for my eye exam prior to us leaving for Peru is tomorrow night. Damn it!! My fault for waiting until the last minute to schedule. I'll have to catch you folks the next time around -Rob

Sounds bueno to me

couldnt run it

It's good to have a "free" day....it's the free weeks that tend to put the lbs on. Oh yeah...and TURNING 50!!!! Don't be so hard on yourself there Bill (I just said hard on...hahahahah) Sorry, it's early Oh sh*t...I'm supposed to be picking you up here in a few...better get off the computer and head on over See ya in a bit Reverend Brutha Bill

Aye, we'll certainly giv 'er a go then I've a few stories I like to tell when the wee voice inside my head gets "worked up" as well Nothing like a 4.10f downclimb off a barstool to end the night, eh Hey, Ivan...bring your best Irish folk songs with ya!

shuck de prenumps
