Time to break out the industrial strength windshirt; it's blustery in here.
The great thing about my windshirt is it is breathable enough to withstand blasts of hot air.
these are rather pedestrian foods to be carrying. might I suggest a cocktail of 10 supplements before during and after the climb. bonus points if their names are long, obscure, and difficult to pronounce, and if mark twight has mentioned them.
if you have black diamond, scarpa, beal, metolius, yates, free tibet, free leonard, etc stickers on your car, you'd best keep your mouth shut on this thread.
the other one I find hilarious is "live simply" on the back of any car.
Come on layton, you can't just come out and say that, you have to slip it in along with some big-name climbers' names and talk about the gear they used on routes you'll never do.
Maybe some additional spray about the strain being a day hike for grannies would help your cause too. It's only 5.9, and with the right windshirt, maybe 5.8+
Anyone can swear up a storm; that's not very fun to read. It takes a special talent to debate the esoterics of windshirt design and pose as the internet spokesman for famous climbers. One might even suggest that it would take two NOLS courses, prefereably taken during one's pre-pubescent years. Afterall, It's the finest mountain experience money can buy!
