Kimmo Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 did you say pink's perspiring from his anus? i think you need to talk to kevbone for verification on that one.... Quote
pink Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 casting stone you can barely lift... priceless. hey i've noticed you're a really articulate and insightful fellow, with concise and perspicuous analyses of any topic, so maybe you can explain exactly what you mean with your biblical homily? something about the charge i levy being a charge i am guilty of myself, methinks? help a brother out. your burnin up...

G-spotter Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 I had a friend once tell me that people commonly die every winter freesoloing in Joshua Tree and yet it never makes it further than the local news down there. Bill, if a friend told you that eating your own shit was nutritious, would you do it? EDIT: you probably would. You are that gullible. Quote
JosephH Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) It's a serious consideration Mark, especially since the only other climber to do that very route free solo later died free soloing. You ever heard of Charlie Fowler? You and Mark must be high. Charlie didn't free solo 'that' route. Edited August 19, 2009 by JosephH Quote
Kimmo Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 your burnin up... no shit, 85 and doing a workout. you should check out my next vid on why i hate video. Quote

You ever heard of Charlie Fowler? You and Mark must be high. Charlie didn't free solo 'that' route. My bad. Google search gave me this, which is obviously misleading: Charlie Fowler made the first free solo of the Diamond, soloing the Integral Route, ... and then on-sight soloed Pervertical Sanctuary Quote
Choada_Boy Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 I wonder how many people have soloed that route without feeling the need to inform the whole world of their "accomplishment". Quote
billcoe Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Charlie didn't free solo 'that' route. Yup, great story, Fowler was so unassuming on that stuff. I think it originally had another name, and when Charlie freesoloed it, they all changed the name to the "Casual" route.. at like 5.10 which at the time was a hard grade. I think he did the DNB in Yosemite in a similar, non-chestbeating manner. Just casually replied to someone who asked what he had climbed that day.... Quote

G-spotter Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Charlie aid soloed some A4 route on that face in winter too... and probably a bunch of other routes that I don't remember hearing about. Quote
pink Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 I wonder how many people have soloed that route without feeling the need to inform the whole world of their "accomplishment". thousand maybe millions... Quote
olyclimber Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 I heard Montgomery Wick free solo downclimbed it in full winter conditions...just for sport. And do you think he told a soul? Nope. Quote

ivan Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Charlie didn't free solo 'that' route. well he sure as fuck didn't surf it!!! Quote

JosephH Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Charlie free soloed the Integral Route, not Pervertical Sanctuary. Quote
Off_White Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Joe, do you have a link to the Youtube video production of that ascent? Quote
JosephH Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Yeah, http://www.notube.com/charlie-fowler/its-easy-to-be-easy-when-you're-easy Quote
