spotly Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Gear list please. Any doubles required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 One gear note: I did not consume any natural food on this climb. I subsisted soley off of energy gels, goo packets, red bull, 5 hour energy ("5 hour foot longs" should be the next cialis or viagra commercial btw) and other chemicals. i know mixing these substances is dangerous, but it had to be done in the name of science.

Dirtyleaf Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I (we) spent saturday testing our mettle on this untamed alpine hardman testpiece. I suffered a tweaked knee while attempting to jump across a gap and slipping at the same time while trying to avoid falling 7 feet headfirst onto a boulder. Water bottle in hand with yoghurt bars went flying everywhere. We should have aided this section but my hardman partner insisted we simul-solo this. His fault not mine. We met a couple who looked forlorn sitting on some rocks. I told them I had just peed on a goats head. (True story with picture proof) They told us they were lost. "Where are you guys headed?" Them: "The Enchantments" Me: (Looking upward then back at them) "Nice" Assguard Pass claims three more victims of its selfish chossy satanic desire. I'll be back Assguard. And next time I'll send hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telemarker Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 we were not without injury not to mention my mental scars Forgive me for being an armchair mountaineer, but if you're not going to rope up, shouldn't you have at least worn some kneepads?
