If the weather stays the way it's been (warm), plan on camping (if not going in a day) on the ridge above the top of the Turtle, ~10k. Hazard will be a bowling alley, as it has been recently. The NPS has been warning against camps at Hazard.

too many wimmin = cat fight

iain = Confucious

Don't forget water reducer, set retarder, curing compound, etc... Another nerdy engineer that just couldn't resist the op.

That would be my guess. Sounds like some lingering bitterness...

Perspective

Why is that?

too funny!

Ahh! We stayed in the little hotel that's directly below the old castle on the bluff. It's lit up pretty cool at night. Got some great time-exposure shots of it. Really nice town, Cassis is. We actually went back through on our return from Avignon. I was looking to hook up with the local guide service, but couldn't work it out. So I ended up buying a French guidebook and soloing the low-5th stuff that Gaston put up. Great times, that trip was.

cg??? Am I missing a common acronym here? Elaborate SVP.

Marseilles is a fucking ghetto town...good climbing though Stay in Cassis! That Way better, and safer. Cheap, too. Catch the train from Marseilles and hoof the 4 klicks into town. Nice beach, cool routes. Soloed a bunch about 4 years ago.

Yeah, Italy's got all that. But I still like north central Italy better. And some of the chicas shave their pits.

Naaahh, nice wine country, but Tuscania on the Med way better. Spent my youth there. Learned a lot about life, too.

God bless the

Peach-flavored Body Butter. mmmmm

Yes yes yes - thanks - I love that song! I was in love with bananarama... Especially the one in the red patent leather bodysuit for the video of their cover of Shocking Blue's (a 1-Hit wonder that we left out of last week's discussion) "Venus".

Agreed, unless you're Bill Gates...

That, and PC run amok. And I think it's more a case of laziness/lack of motivation/resistance to change rather than "taught to be content" that creates the burgeoning welfare class. Agreed that perpetuates poverty and dependance, and it's a shitty deal. Is there a cure for The Great Society that has been wrought upon us?

We ALL need more beaver, and not just for fly tying...

I think that there's "plenty" of people out there that LOVE America because it has a gratuitous welfare system that's simple and easy to use and abuse. No misreading the post here, nuh uh. Now, could I have been more positive? Why, yes I could have. But I'm not feeling that way this a.m. Sorry for the bitter herbs...

F!@#$King

That's when handguns come in handy! Yeesh... some people (if we can call them that).

Welfare!

Just remember the sage words from that old bumpersticker... "No matter how great she looks, there is some guy out there that is tired of putting up with her shit." Now you do the math.

"practically" aiding a free climb. Hang-dogging and gear-yanking by any other words. French free... yeesh!
