Hanger

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

So Mike, where ya climbin'?

It's not just Tahquitz...it's all of the San Bernardino area...which includes tons of established (yet lesser known) climbing areas as well as tons of virgin stone. If allowed...this will spread

I couldn't pull that one off

Explosive diarrhea You won't be asked to prove it ;-)

Weeeeellll....I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok...I sleep all night and I work all day...

Silicon Challenge: 19 out of 20... You're a natural! Congratulations, you win the World Cups

"So these two are the best our country could come up with?" Not a bumper sticker yet...but I'm working on it

To think that these two are the "best" that we have as our presidential candidates...is just sad

Porch...living room...a few beers into it and they're nothing but a "low-crawl" apart! And no excuses...if you can't swing a hammer and punch keys at the same time I don't know what to tell ya! other than... I'm sooo there!

My other ride is your boyfriend (my girlfriend was ready to beat some ass)

LoL sense of humor...good thing

Google GILF's and see whatcha come up with 'If you're gonna spew...spew into this'

Ah, that would be me... So, I'm guessing you're thinking to yourselves...'if hanger is such a great guy, why isn't Bill taking him out?' Well, you see...um...it's like this...er...hmmm Hell if I know...something about ice being a pain in the ass or something along those lines. At any rate, if anyone is heading out that way and doesn't mind me tagging along...please shoot me a PM Thanks, -Robert P.S. If Eric's reading this...get done w/ your porch so we can climb!!

Holy sh*t!! Great reading Bill...IMHO, a well thoughout rap-bolt, roto-hammered route is better than POS bolts placed after the crux cuz the bolter had to use hooks on lead with a hand drill (aka J-Tree routes) I also understand the importance of keeping it clean and avoiding the cycle of grid-bolting (aka Williamson) Hey Bill, I know that you put a lot of thought into route development and have tons of experience regarding it...so I say go make the crag a better place for all of us to enjoy. -Hanger

That is I...finally made the trek to the Land of Port... I'll shoot you a PM

Yes sir...the first one made for a decent slung nut while working Jack of Heart...those kinds of placements is where my login to RC.com (hangerlessbolt) comes from. No disrespect taken...was certainly my mistake. It's always been mine (and my partner's) rule of thumb: If it's a single biner on a bolt halfway up a route A nut/cam/etc stuck alone in the middle of a route Been there for more than 48 hours All obvious signs of someone bailing...then it's booty. If it's an obvious TR/ Rap station...and the gear looks "fresh"...then it's not. Obviously someone doesn't agree with me. Exactly...my mistake being new to the area. Fool me once... No sir, I go by Hangerlessbolt...climbed Broughton Monday a.m. Including me...I prefer the USMC way of dealing with that kind of nonsense...but given there were 5 of them and only two of us (1 and a half if you really want to get an accurate idea of how willing my partner was to fight)... I don't know how many of them it would have taken to whip my ass...but I knew how many they were going to use... Thanks for the advice. -Rob

or wait until they go to grab the gear...then push them over the edge and walk away.
