geoff Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 It wasn't you. Just my total lack of crack skills. Come to think of it though someone was telling me Blackberry Jam was an 8. But, I can belay. Sorry I missed the party. Kyle and I had planned on Squish for a day or two but rain sent us for a hike to "look at" Stein's Pillar and then toward Smith Rock where we climbed the First Kiss. Good route. Thanks for the heads up. Nice photos. Still going tonight? Quote

Good route. Thanks for the heads up. Nice photos. Still going tonight? Yes. A long as the rain holds off. BTW, I will not EVER EVER again say Blackberry is not 5.10 after I belayed a 5.12 climber up it and I not only thought I saw a little bit of Elvis Legs when he sequensed backwards, but he thought it was harder than Birds. Hope you are feeling better. Look for Ujhans black toyota truck and thats where we'll be. Quote
PickleJuice Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 anybody off work and up for a little climbing right now? be on the traverse but will bring up harness just in case... Quote
billcoe Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Work. Hey Katie, I heard Larry crashed his bicycle and did break a couple of ribs. ?? Do I have to call him directly and feign interest or can you give a heads up. BTW, Geoff (near recovered), Ujahn and I had the run of the place last night. Turns out that a little rain and everyone stays home. Quote
PickleJuice Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Bill...yeah he did. I picked him up from the ER on Monday night (his second time there that day). A few broken ribs, a really stiff neck and very befuddled (even for Larry standards normally). Poor guy... Ah, Bill you missed it...I am pretty much soaked Quote

BTW, I just saw Larry and he's doing fine, but befuddled of course, so normal. Looks like he'll be off for 6 weeks - or so. Quote
billcoe Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Yes, Larry Jennings, also known as big Larry. Pretty sore, but doing OK. BTW, have you seen a 8-1/2 faded blue Red Chili Spirit shoe anywhere abouts? Last time I saw it I was out with you at Beacon. Quote
ivan Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 nope - funny, that was the time i went out w/o one of my climbing shoes - musta punched through some fawked up vortex into the twilight zone... poor old larry... Quote

Crackman Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 I'm going to try and join in on the fun tonight. My son's baseball season is finally over so now I need to catch up on my climbing. Quote
billcoe Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Hola Tim! Ujahn will be there sooner than 5:30 and needs a belay if you can make it as he needs to hit a dinner party, check yer PMS. Quote
Crackman Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Hey Bill, It sure will be good to climb with you all again. I probably won't manage to get there any earlier than 5:30 - but if I can, I'll give him a call. Quote
