1. Have a "meaningful" discussion with our girlfriend.

 

so there really is only one girlfriend for all the climbers out there shocked.gif

 

No, I think it's merely an example of the "royal" first person plural.

 

Although he could be alluding to the practice of polyandry, which, according to last night's Globe Trekker, is still alive and well in the backwoods of Nepal.

1. Go to Smith with a crowbar and pull bolts from popular routes during the wekend.

 

2. Get on some difficult sketch route with a newbie belayer that is being distracted.

 

3. Go climb an alpine route, can't start the route until you see the thunderheads roll in.

 

4. Go to the Gunks on the weekend and start retro bolting the easy classics.

 

5. Climb a hard route only replacing those key chain biners for real ones.

 

6. Turn a route at Index into an outdoor gym, complete with chipping, glue-ons, and over bolting hell out of it.

Walk up to a gathering of Greg Wall, Mike Adamson, and Ray Borbon at the local watering hole, and strike up a conversation in which you advocate for gun control.

I'll take that challenge and raise you one.

You also have to mention that you joined the immigrant walk out last week.

Post a "real" trip report on this site about anything easier and see what happens. I think this is wrong too but that is just my observation.

 

Amen. I spent yesterday at Gritscone doing stuff that's easy for everyone else. All adventures to me and fun to write about -- but probably not here.

moving to Kansas....I did it from 1988-1995 and there are actually climbers there. OH MY GOD THOSE PEOPLE WERE CRAZY!!!

 

I just moved from there, and I'm back for a few days this summer. The good news is there's been some new climbing discovered in the area. The bad news is that it's a wall at the KU gym.
