Funny you say that... i was thinking that this afternoon as i was recollecting all that whining and crying i was doin to ivan about the damn drag. I had to use one of my jugs when i finished the pitch to pull up enough slack to fix the line for him to jug

Tis the season, no?

and yes, the offset was right off the belay...

3 - a brass offset and 2 tcus, 1 of which should have ripped out... necktied many rivits, not just one, and the old drill kit thingy that is pictured.

i wonder if mike seaver has ever read "on the origin of species" hey, maybe we should start calling him "boner."

highly unlikely, but i did piss off enough rats this summer that if it had happened at beacon i would have looked to the rodents as the culprits.

wasn't so much side to side sawing action as much as it was up and down on a gritty section of tuff... Though I understand why ivan would be reluctant to take a pic of it while it was stretched and under load it still would have been a cool pic to see. the shots we have of it are only after the rope had been unweighted, so the wound recoiled. ivan said it was about two inches long....

That's what I was saying on saturday after we rapped... thought it would be a cool place for a king swing nope... mammut

there are a few nice nut and tcu placements - yellow and blue metolius were worth their weight on the rack, and the brass offsets were very helpful. Interesting stretches between some of those crappy bolts... lots of bolts to necktie - take plenty of nuts that slide up their cables easily

Twas sunny and cold on saturday - little time fer screwin around... ivan, hitting his peak of warmth for the first pitch looking back from about four placements up the 2nd pitch... The fourth placement on the 2nd pitch... an old drill kit er somethin ivan getting pissed at cleaning the 2nd pitch traverse (taken on rappel - the red rope is our tagline) hangin out just before turning the roof the rap down was very monkee-ish ivan on what could have been an ill-fated juggin workout... ROUND 2 - FIGHT!

btw... congrats on the book!

paaaaleeeeeeze - the M's need "Super" "Star" power, and ichiro is only the table setter. KGJ is no longer a super star, so his influence is going to be felt only in dugout or clubhouse. I love the M's but 2010 is going to let you down if you think it might be the year!

learning to bolt should be done with someone who is experienced at putting them in... you can't read about it and then claim you know what you're doin Coming from an expert bolter. Quite the opposite actually - I've only put in two bolts and bill "forced" me to do it I didn't even want to do it because I don't see the need to know how to do it since I know that I don't need to place bolts where I am climbing. But it isn't something that I'd trust any old chimp in a harness doing if all they did was read about how to do it, ya know?

You talk funny. Are you sure yur not from Portland? Ási, don't listen to the sprayers like bug - they have mental disorders that make them babble on and on in such ways!

The route sure meanders enough to be one of billcoe's lines!

you have enuf holsters for all those hammers, bill?

good idea bill..

sponsorship just sounds like it might have responsibility that comes with it - don't need any more of that!

is adam around? where's adam?

party in the rain... you should come out joe!

oh but it is just soooooo much fun, tho next time push it on through til the morning - i mean drunks don't get up early to drive anywhere so you'd be in the clear comin up the 5
