Things I've been wanting to do but never got around to due to lack of time, competent partner or one of several other lame reasons:

 

Angel Crest

Slesse NE Buttress

South Howser Tower West Buttress

 

Oh, and go to Tuff Luv or Rope-up to meet some of you avatars.

1. Be a better crack climber. (Get ass into shape)

2. Lead Japanese Gardens and Toxic Shock. (I love Index)

3. Complete a big wall climb (to make up for this year's failed effort).

Learn to climb with children.

please share w/ me any secrets you discover...

 

Why, do you have kids?

2 - had a significantly harder time getting out last year, in part b/c my son was so young - the year before though when it was just my daugher was wild fun though so i'm hopeful it'll get better soon

RuMR seems to have succeeded in the kids/climbing venture.

make no mistake, personal climbing goes waaaay down...kids are climbing a ton, but me, not so much these days...but, you know, i get as stoked on them climbing well as i do myself...its rad to watch them develop...

its even a tear jerker when your kid says "later dad" and runs out of the house to climb with YOUR buddies while you are doing "honey-do's" and yardwork...

i've turned my yard into a wilderness preserve and my wife doesn't generally ask me to do things i haven't already figured out i need to do first - a great woman, if not more than a little crazy too! anyway, i got a lot of vertical feet in this past year so can't complain 'bout much 'cept suffering the infernal virginia heat for a whole month out of the summer. alpine climbing's suffered the most out of everything, but it's coming back in a big way...

there's nothing hard about climbing with kids. sure they add a little weight to your harness and pack but they work great in off width and chimneys. just stuff them in when you need large pro, use a double length and girth hitch. 2-5 year olds work great for that size that's just bigger than a #5 cam.

Obviously, you don't know what you're talkin' about...

 

2-5 year olds generally suck...they start to whine after about 45 seconds and consequently lube themselves up and fall out...self cleaning, yes, but not very secure...quite unnerving actually...

So you're saying that if I had kids I'd have a better rack?

 

Well, definitely right after birth the rack gets bigger...errrr, guess you were talkin' a different rack, huh??

Posted
And with a sufficiently large rack aren't offwidths and chimneys self protecting?

 

I love offwidths

 

Rumr-- that's why they have BigBros... to beat the little bros until they stay put
