Sorry, I was just bristling from Porter's affront! How dare he question my climbing prowess?!! :[](Actually I didn't climb over a 5.7 there--those off-widths are a bitch)

Trail run up Mt. Dickerman with Olympia Climber and Ken4ord on Saturday, approached NR of Sherpa Peak with AlpineDave and Ken4ord in the rain on Sunday before retreating to Lworth for breakfast and cragging.

Vermont.

 

Took the tour of the wholly-owned subsidiary of Unilever, Inc in Waterbury on the way home. The irony was at least as delicious as the product they manufacture there.

Cleaned and followed Ujhan up a new crack route at the Twilight Zone Sunday which we named "The Short Bus". 10b/c, probably over 5.11 till it gets fully cleaned off, good pro.

 

A retarded little climb that took a lot of work. Ujahn was climbing strong! His lead:-)

Maybe a bit runout to the first piece but easy climbing there, @ 20 feet and he tied a runner to that tree root.

Killed some wasps on the way in there, trundled 2 blocks that weighed maybe 400-600 lbs each and they flew nicely.

 

Cleaned off 90% of another route and am wondering if it needs a bolt, or if I should pull it using the 2 pieces at my knee, or just lead with an ankle breaking ledge fall (assuming the pieces hold) and call it a day.

 

I'm OK with taking the shot - for myself, but was wondering about others. Pretty much 80% decided on the bolt. Might lead it then bolt it for everyone else.

Went to a reunion with some old high school friends who periodically get together to touch base, drink beer and eat, eat , eat: and drink some more. Amazing how old and out of shape folks are getting....amazing.

 

 

Drank too much. Ate too much.

watched and heard Ronnie Baker Brooks, Joe Louis Walker, and Jimmy Thackery tear it up big time separately, and then together for the finale, while I was stage right, ten feet away.

Sunday I got a lot of stuff done. I ran stairs then Porter helped me put a new power supply in my computer. After that I went to dinner with my parents and borrowed a bunch of pictures, some of which you can see in the BC forum. I was up till 1AM getting my dad's story to pdf format and posted on CC. Porter and cj were a ton of help on that.
