so casual.

I thought the Thin Red Line on Liberty Bell was the "Astroman" of Washington?

Someone is having too much fun again; get Harvey and those NC3 people on the phone immediately!  Expanding NOCA into RLNRA and Washington Pass will put a stop to outrages like this once and for all! 😎

I have not yet had the opportunity to smell Alex Honnold, but in a similar vein I was once roping up at the base of Heavens Gate when a somewhat annoyed Colin Haley showed up questioning our plans.   Not wanting to wait around he crashed into the brush below us to take a enormous dump before sauntering away.  The effervescence perfused the area saturating our chalk bags.  We proceeded to rapidly send both Heavens Gate and DH-LA (a solid performance for us).  We attributed it to the Colin Haley Poo Poo Dust we had been graciously granted prior to the climbing.  Rolls off the tongue quite nicely as "the C-H-P-P-D".  If you ever run into him maybe try to collect a pinch.  Not sure I've ever climbed quite as well since.

High quality shit post if I ever saw one.

Sheesh. Alex, you had all day and that's all you got accomplished? I'm happy to do something easy like Beckey Route or SEWS south arete and get back to car before dark.

Rumor has it that he couldn't do my route Dark Side of Liberty so he had to settle with doing some long moderates instead.

Is that the same thing that is in tire dust that kills salmon?
