I'm not doing a very good job and not overly happy with what I've done, but she's happy. Honestly, the ones I did a month ago for her were better because I spent a couple of weeks practicing the images a bit. I could repeat it over and over again then, but now, drawing guys, they aren't looking as good as the ladies I did before. That and she did her first oil pastel of a flamenco fan and it looks better than anything I've managed to produce. She got some help from me on composition and methodology, but she rocked it. Last day here. Triste. Wait, where on earth are you? I thought you were back... Brazil? Spain? Chilli? Peru? Maine? Mass? Other?
only Peru is wrong. that's kind of impressive. I bet no one else could have done that off the top of their heads.
back to brasil from spain.

The director has an incredibly diverse list of films under her belt though. Near Dark, Point Break, The Weight of Water and Hurt Locker being the most noteworthy and just so wildly different. That alone is pretty impressive.

45 and 50M roaps? WTF? are we in the 1950s or something.
I've been bitchy cause my 60m is becoming too short for what I wants to do....
Speak of... I need a new roap. 70M preferrably. Bi-Colored, Dry.

I am in love with my 70m 9.9mm Maxim Glider bipattern. Only draw back is that it doesn't feed super awesome thru a grigri because of it's relative stiffness. Especially the grigri 2
If it will mostly be a tard rope and belayed with a tube style device, you can't get a better rope or sub .12 climbing IMO

70m?! WTF!?!
There's nothing that tall around here... well there are a couple of 12s and 13s and a 14 that need a 70m, but we all know the likelihood of that happening.

Other than the occasional linking of pitches just for fun, my 70 earns it's keep on the descents. Combined with my tagline, I can fly down the wall. It also gives an extra bit of security on full length raps where you would have to down climb a bit or just barely reach the anchor with a 60.
And just look how damn sexy this thing is...
