The Ospray Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 So when you can't free climb, aid climb. Or rap in and clean and check out lines for future reference. Or do one of the hundreds of other activities that do not involve suffering in the rain and cold at Beacon! You guys are nuts! But hey weve all been there. Keep up the stoke. Cheers Quote
stevetimetravlr Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Would the Rectum have been climbed with that attitude? I think not. Quote
The Ospray Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Whats your problem dude? I said keep up the stoke. I aided plenty in the rain at Beacon back when I was into that sorta thing. Would I do it now, hell no. I've aquired other hobbies and like to save the suffering for the alpine and big walls not the crag. But yes it could have easily been climbed on a sunny and warm summer day Quote
JosephH Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 The right attitude will get you up a lot of rectums - the question you have to ask yourself is how happy you're going to be once you're up there in the thick of it straining to push through and make something happen... Quote
ivan Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 But yes it could have easily been climbed on a sunny and warm summer day true 'dat - though likely it woulda come w/ even more poison oak scars on yer nutsack i look forward to fucking w/ it in summer - i'd climb other places then beacon more often if'n the good lord helped me win the lottery Quote

But yes it could have easily been climbed on a sunny and warm summer day If you have to ask yourself if self flaggelation is a hobby, then its probably more of a pastime, but if you want to call it a hobby, I'm cool with it. Either way. The important thing is you are out there doing it. Making your mark, just like Ivan, only different. Stoked! Quote

I might be interested in doing a little aid with you this summer once its warm and dry Thinking about another El Cap solo (as much as I say I shouldnt) so its always nice to brush up a bit.

pink Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 ospray, when did u do most of ur climbing at beacon? Quote

pink Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 cum on ivan! seriously, i can't fake DORK like that i'm just waiting for his pics of the thin ice pics on hamilton. i have some advice for you, leave your weed in el portel. Quote
The Ospray Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 ospray, when did u do most of ur climbing at beacon? Mostly in the early to mid 90's, then off and on since then. Then a friend and I did quite a few of the aid routes back in 03-05 when we where training for a harder aid route on the capitain. Alot of that was done in shitty weather just like Ivan. My socks still have not dried out Cheers Quote
pink Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 cool, what hard routes have you done on el cap? Quote
The Ospray Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Nothing too hard, we did Auroa in the summer, and Zenyatta in winter. Hence the bad weather training, but we wound up having perfect January weather. Also did the Diheadral, Salathe and Zodiac back in the mid 90's. Finally managed a solo of the Trip last year wich was harder than both of those combined, but for some reason I'm already considering another... we will just have to wait and see. What about you?

pink Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 good job dude, always wanted to climb the big stone Quote
The Ospray Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Oh don't be shy, I've been shy for too long, I thought I saw a picture you posted of something hard on the Dawn wall... possibly was Space? Very cool looking line, if so, how was it? Did you do the real finish? I heard most parties finish on Mescalito or what ever. Forgot to mention I did Mescalito as well! Did spent 10 days on it in 95, best route of my god damn life. Also the longest I've ever spent on a route, god damn 10 days is a lot longer and harder than 5. Cheers Quote
Lucky Larry Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 i have patches of zombie flesh popping up all over me - poison oak, a poignant reminder that, if god exits, he's a malicious asshhole ...wuz it old growth Poison Oak as seen here running up the Fir Tree? I think some of that Beacon Rock poison oak tried to kill Jeff. I didn't have the heart to tell him that all of the PO he'd ripped out had grown back a few months later on Lay Lady Lay crack. That stuff is malevolent. Haul the Man JO up there in a insulated body bag if you want it done right...'they just don't listen' Quote
