and yeah, pull-ups will definitely help.

maybe you could come over and try your one-liners on the poor thing. you know, to speed up the process.

one's got a 26" bar, the echo a 20". yeah i may end up renting a bigger one, if'n i do the drop. i can't justify dropping a grand for something i'll use only a few times....and unless you know of one for sale....

awww now you're being just way too sensitive. you look great in a helmet! and i see the other surgery was also a success?

er, over-emphasized.

did the procedure affect your voice at all? i've heard that part's over-rated.

hey, BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!

i gotta say though that i NEVER figgered you for a mountie. well, i suppose i may have seen a few clues....

"more importantly"? i see where your priorities lie, missy. i do believe the mounties are calling: put on yer muthafucking helmet!

gotta echo 530, and'll get a stihl 360 if need be. i loves me a nice chainsaw!

so did you red point your climb yet?

damn forgot to ask how your neutering went. got the skillz?

because you're clutching at straws, and you STILL haven't come back with a SINGLE misassertion from Moore. i mean hell, even liberal me can call shit on SOME thing of that fat fuck's (i love you mike!).

oh we'll see about the flawless part. and yeah holy i gagged laughing at that vid. chainsaw stalls numerous times as tree binds in wrong direction "what's wrong with this damn..."

That's I-P-C-C, genius boy. i sincerely hope you're rolling eyes at yourself, cliff.

indeed, fatso. as far as wedges go, i'm thinking at least three to spread the load. and yeah 3 guys. money? it's kinda fun really. i like puzzles like this. the money aint a biggie. i like challenges.

yeah thanks for the head's up on tensioning; certainly thought about it and don't want to spring load it. eeeeasy pressure, slow on the back cut, wedges, and a close eye on the back cut opening. and notching like < so big tree doesn't want to kick the hinge out at half fall....

shit, nice shots man. that second one gives me vertigo.

but i do think i will video the circus.

uh no thanks man. one clown on the jobsite is already enough.

Full Tilt, aka The Tempest wall, aka Tempest in a Teapot. Perfect!

? a strange assertion that i simply cannot understand. honestly, i have a hard time categorizing any rock climb as "important". i would add that only within the very narrow and arbitrary parameters of any sport (which climbing certainly is an example of) can said sport be deemed "important". and then to ascertain one's climb as "best"? pure tomfoolery.

(BTW, good points and succinct post, although i'm not 100% sure i agree with them!).

IV 12c. I suppose time will tell....

i think the "FA" of this particular route was last summer, about a year ago? and wasn't a lot of aid used, since it was raining? such is my understanding.... i think it was quite a change in style overall, from almost an aid recon ascent, to an all-free ascent, yes?
