Lucky Larry Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Told ye Silver Bullet my luck has been wrung out, verily nothing remains of a lucky larry but an OLD GIMP of atrophied muscles, arthritis, pinched nerves, and Gray cells turned plant matter. And I doth declined being yarded behind as token, alas no smok'in, anchor to rock et al. Not to be unslung, I gourded him on, take ye wizened young slayer, Ivan the Tailor of Rhyme, with Grog full head, full hot air ahead! Alas and cube squared, verily, it turned out bust, as all things are dust. Verily, turn tall tales out of snails we must! Hunker into down feathers, dreaming of fair maiden nethers. Quote

billcoe Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Awesome to see that the annual "Seasonal Beacon disorder" seems much diminished this year. Old Jim Anglin was certain that the only cure was a decent road trip. I believe he was correct: as usual. Good stuff Timetraveler! I too just came back from a short Red Rocks trip with wife and son. 68-70 degrees down there. The south facing walls were almost too warm. Come back and it's snow/rain and 40. Harsh stuff back here.

ivan Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 watcha end up doing ole'boy? i always seem to shiver or sweat down there, no matter what (though late december on the solar slab was damn near perfect...) Quote
ivan Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 i'd dig it...but i got smith plans already kee-rist, was out there the other day just for some hiking and the whole base area is crazy - most be about 300 meters worth of police-line tape strung up in all the trees... pretty certain it's still only seen one solo ascent so far, if'n yer looking to make history would dig on goign back there another weekend if you want...

Moof Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Hey Ivan, How about next weekend? I don't fancy a solo ascent, but I would like to get some pitches in before heading down to the valley in a couple weeks. Quote
Moof Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) Looks like the weather gods are not being in my favor. Edited May 12, 2017 by Moof Quote
