Wow!

Just until they get their feet on the ground.

Hey, Wayne and I are coming!

Hell yeah, thanks for all the hard work putting that together, and nice job all ye senders

Next time have Butch guard the supplies so he can lick them to death

It definitely does not come with any semblance of mojo, it does come with girl repelant built into the fibers.

And it has a chew-proof teat. Chew-proof teat LIFESAVER bottle is fitted with a chew-proof non-tasting replaceable teat. Although it is chew-proof it will after time begin to wear. Unlike many other systems LIFESAVER bottle has been designed so that it’s teat can easily changed.

yes, i have been busy

Yo Muffy, any updates?

Depends on the degree of tear, a partial tear can usually be rehabilitated w/o surgery. It's going to take a big commitment on you to go do PT, do your stretched and exercises religiously, and NOT push it climbing. It's going to take a few months...sorry.

Double that shit up! Yes, it will suck but so much less time total sucking doing both together. I'm saving all my surgery for one big day.

I hear ya man. 6 years ago my friend and I did it on a hot august day. The second I started jugging the 1st pitch, my entire water bladder emptied out my pack and down my leg. By pitch 12 I was so fucking thirsty, I had to take on arm to straighten out the other it was so cramped up.

Dude, pitch 3 is the twilight zone pitch...seriously. We did like a A2 move and a pendulum...lots of weird crap. Don't feel alone. The rest of the climb is fun. Go back.

What do you mean it's starting to feel like fall? It's been fall all summer long! Creative climb, nice idea and nice lookin' fun! This is your summer brah

i did it without crampon, but I'd say bring em and leave the ax

Yeah, that shows it kinda

You really can't see the ridge from anywhere, it's pretty guarded. Maybe the immortal John Scurloc can grace us with an overview?

Trip: Mt. Triumph - FA SW Ridge - Layton/Wallace III 5.8b Date: 9/2/2007 Trip Report: This summer has been a long string of alpine failures. Wayne and I were 0/2 on our big project list, and with a shitty weather forecast, we were thinkin' it was going to be 0/3. Rain, shitty routes not worth finishing, partner failure(Bailure), and too much work finally caught up with me this summer. So with nothing better to do than try another one on the "list", Wayne and I did a lap around Mt. Triumph via a new route on the Southwest Ridge and down the NE ridge for full mountain circumnavigation. Having been told by irate girlfriends, annoyed climbing partners, rangers, and hapless co-workers that I was a bit rough around the edges, I decided to make the best out of my "time to think" at camp saturday night I don't know what the fuck this "Dale" guy is talking about Of course along the way, we followed proper protocol and picked up a permit. Thanks NPS for your permission to use "your" wilderness! Wayne and I had a great time walking on durable surfaces, collecting our waste in bags (to keep next to my Kleenex boxes, jars of urine, and bundled newspapers at home), fishing with dynamite, building huge fires, hunting birds, and stealing picnic baskets from day hikers. Since we were not allowed to bring a machette, we had to use gas powered weed wackers. After it ran out of gas, Wayne hucked it in the lake, and we had to use our trecking poles to hack at plants and wave at bears. Wayne wondering where a good spot to heli-lift the Ski-Doo's into this winter Anyways, up and around Thorton Peak we went, and down to below the South Face of Triumph for our original intended objective. The still unclimbed S.Buttress of Triumph It was much to steep and crackless, also soaking wet (the main line is a watercourse) so we opted for plan B. It could go, but it would require some aid and bolting, also hard climbing. We scrambled up ~500 feet of steep cliffy heather. It wasn't so bad, except for the fact that the sky was turbulent and threating a mega storm to hit any minute. The thought of downclimbing was not a happy fun one. All the peaks had big lenticulars forming, and the thick black wave-like patter of clouds above our heads shouted "hurry up and climb be-otch!" It gonna Rain! The climb started off with a few pitches up steep slab. The rock was solid, lots of good holds, and fun! Pro was scant, so there were a few moments of nervousness. I had to bust out my ice tool for an "M" move to bypass grabbing a very untrustworthy looking flake/key hold. It was solid, and the mixed/moss mantle was unnecessary. It started raining, then stopped. Hurry up! Wayne scoping the route The ridge topped out about ~1100 feet up to the final summit headwall. Wayne had a great fun steep lead. It looked scary but turned out to be a super fun 5.8 pitch. Climb Monkey, Climb! I got the last pitch, traversing some shitty gendarms and up to the summit. 20' up the exposed crumbly gendarme Wayne shouted, "It's about to let loose up there!" A wall of rain headed our way, but somehow it cut north at the last second and spared us a slippery and scary descent. We only got a few drops the whole day, but we did get in a great fun climb and an awesome mountain. Our cramponless hike out wasn't a great idea, but I'm here, so I guess we didn't need them! Heading down the Northeast Ridge just waiting for the douching We got back to the car at 7:30, having left camp at 5:45 a.m., which is funny since the 1500' route took only three hours of impending rain hurried climbing to the top! Gear Notes: Nothin bigger than 3" and no pins or tat needed. Crampons if you want. One rope. Approach Notes: Up the 3rd lake to a col next to Thorton Peak, down and around (long) to the S.Face, and up a steep moss gully to the SW ridge.

No, that was at the base of S.Early's N.side!

You brought your dog to the base of Chianti Spire? I don't know your dog, but for 99% of all other dogs, that's fucked up.

Hands off my pork
