Jesus, did you guys think I was serious? I'm not sorry at all! Sharma is the shit! I'll kill anyone who says otherwise. Bill, I work maybe 3 months a year...when I'm feeling like keeping busy, If anything I should be climbing way harder...and I'm not Canadian by birth, I fled the crumbling, destitute land of my birth many years ago due to political strife. Happily, using my, heh heh, "Citizenship" I still receive large sums of grant money from the taxpayers of said country that I'll never have to pay back so that I can go on extended road trips! What a bunch of suckers eh?! BTW... Bill how do you feel about Nosler reloads? Yea or Nay?

? By getting extremely lucky to not die? Do you skydive or BASE josh? Luck definately played a part I'm sure....but I was more speaking of having the skill to fly himself to a safe landing in a difficult LZ surrounded by trees and powerlines in-spite of numerous injuries.

speaking of which...anyone see the BASE accident on the Chief a few days ago? Guy did a triple somersault....popped his chute....and he slammed into wall, chute deflated.....he tumbled 50m before the chute reinflated and he rode it down to the new lot. He ended up in the hospital with a broken ankle and was treated for shock. Way to keep it together

Lots of washouts up in that area that don't get repaired...I've got some maps.

"Humanality" in Thailand is pretty unique never climbed it....but that granite sea-crag in Sardinia(maybe it's Corsica?) has a route with a mandatory all points dyno to a giant granite hook thing.... that looks pretty out there

It must be interesting to watch you climb. Very Zen. For me, I don't think I'd make my way up much without the ability to read a route.

A recent ascent of a route in Squamish got me thinking about how important rests are in climbing, particularly on-sight traditional climbing. Rests allow one to recover and assess the terrain ahead. This is all rather obvious perhaps, but in a sport dominated by talk of power endurance and "getting stronger" etc...the rest is often central to on-sighting for those of us that are not mutants. Finding creative rests has been key to so many of my favorite on-sight battles. I think a lot of what has made my climbing improve is my ability to find a few marginal rests on climbs at my limit and milk them until I can continue on. The rest is as important as any other part of the technicians bag of tricks. God knows there are few out there better at "resting" than trad climbers You guys have any stories of creative rests you've seen or done through the years?
