Bitching about standard chalking would be droll. Whomever this was solidly caked every single hold on the first pitch and I mean solidly as in see no rock at at all for an area larger than the size of a hand and with enough extra so that clouds rise with every subsequent use of the hold. The first hold on the pitch was caked 12" x 5" solid and every other hold was essentially that bad on a slightly smaller scale. The call was from an old, chalk-using Beacon local who was just getting in a lap on Borderline and had to wade through p1 duststorm.

 

'Whiteout' would be more appropriate name for the route at the moment.

Would it not be better to bitch about the amount of damage your car did to the ozone layer as you drove it to Beacon? Or did you bike there?

No, it would not. I would not because it would be totally irrelevant to the topic of what it's currently like climbing 'Whiteout'. If you were out there today to climb it, even you would likely be appalled.

I was thinking another bodily function.

 

Seymour, 83, visits his doctor's office for a checkup and takes his wife along as he's hard of hearing. The doctor says, "I'll need a stool sample, a urine sample and a blood sample."

 

"Hah? Wuzat?" Seymour asks

 

And his wife says, "Give him your underpants."

 

Badda bing :rawk: (insert rimshot emoticon here)
