Awesome!

Offtopic... It is at the Gunks, right? I am pretty sure i climbed it during the weekend with Gail and her friend. That roof looks awfully familiar, I am pretty sure I did that reaching thing. But I didn't have the ropegun, so I did get the rope up there.

this PTFTW is available, however.

I just posted it on my wall. This whole spacefacification of the internet is really lame.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is the Gunks. Definitely haven't done the route. Perhaps Shockly's? Paging Jake....???

Shokley's is a real roof, that was more of a roofy overhang like what you'd find on Son of Easy O.

All things considered I'd guess it was East Overhang over to Son of Easy O though.

Hilarious--I don't immediately recognize the route though.

I think you're right. The start of that corner looks a lot like Son of Easy O.

Curt carez.

weak-end report:

good times, lots of people, sun, and water at teh Gnu. We had snagged Jung's guest cabin for us and two friends, then they asked if one more could come, then that one more asked if her friend could come, then Lena, her kids, and Noah the Coloradiegan (who is awesome, btw) joined in, by which time we had a whole refugee camp in the house. We added one more random dirtbag girl from the crag just to fill it up. Actually wasn't too bad, though.

Went to the Lake on Saturday, swam around, talked shit, Dribble fell three times on the prodge, but kept making little half move increments of progress. The place was really crowded with gumbs in general. There is this one 10b warmup that has a little boulder problem start, and we've now seen two separate parties take repeated craters on it, then get mad when we offer them a stickclip. Fuckwits. I got on a harder climb in the radguy cave to see how it was; it's fun, but I'm pretty sick of the cave by now. Despite the crowds, the cave has been pretty dead this season, which is gneiss.

Sunday, dribble took a rest day to do some school work, and a local friend of mine took some of us out to a sekrit crag. Amazing rock, mostly tard, tons of great splitters, but there's one chunk of cliff that blew me away: Detached block section that is probably 100 feet wide, 100 feet high, and consistent 40 degree overhanging. There is one line going up its arete that, if it were at the Red, would be the best 5.11 jughaul at the RRG. It was amazing. A bit of potential for really hard lines up the blank face, and even a few established splitters on it. Went back and ate food, drank beer, had gud thymes.

Monday, went back to the lake. I'm getting fucking sick of it by this point, and not too psyched on anything. Warmup on wet rock, lots of people, lots of inappropriate shittalk from dribble and others that have no doubt scarred Lena's kids for life.

Went over to the cave, and Dribble redsited the prodge, totally smooth, with the peanut gallery cheering on. As promised, this meant that dribble would jump into the lake nekkid, so clothes were shed, and dribble streaked past like 20 people to take a cannonball into the water from the 20 foot diving bored rock. Then we shared a pibbers tallboy, and I tried to demonstrate a bat hang on my prodge from earlier this year, which I failed at.

That's awl.

yes. now we don't have to go back to slummersville for a really, really long time.

though i did enjoy swimming around. after nekkid shennanigans, I actually put my swimsuit on, and me and coloradkid swam across the cove to the laying-out rock. on our way back, we saw a whole group, like 5 people percariously perched on this little yellow inflatable pool raft. I was like "let's flip them" [we did not know these people], so we started swimming towards them singing the jaws theme.

we both went up under the raft to try and tip it, unsuccessfully, and then we flanked it, and I stood on one edge, grabbed N's hand, and tried to flip it by lowsiding the edge I was standing on with both N's and I's weight. But the raft was just not rigid enough to flip that way, it just twisted. N ended up getting dragged over teh top of teh raft like a sea monster and everyone laughed at our failurez. Then we swam back to the colesium. gud thymes.

I did indeed climb Son of the Easy O, so I am glad to hear that my visual memory is sort of working. :)

Gongragulations Dribble! I'm glad you got your proge before clamhed buggers off out west.

So half ass weekend report:

Had to stay late on Friday because of a breakdown of one of the printing presses. At 5pm I run back to my apartment, get the cat (who had been staying with me for the previous month) and off I go to St. Catharines.

On the way home I call my parents. My father tells me that my mother is in Ontario (surprize!!) with my cousin and I should call her. So I call her, oh, I should stop by and see her.

It is obvious she has not looked at a map because Barrie (where she's at) is no where near on route between Owen Sound and St. Catharines. Plus I have a cat in the car with me.

Oh, can you take Monday off? It's almost 7pm Friday night, no I can't fucking take monday off.

So I get home at almost 9pm, pissed at my Mother for not letting me plan anything. Life goes on.

Satruday I plant my seedlings in the veggie garden. Sunday we climb. I drive back to Owen Sound Monday morning (3 hour drive) and go directly to work.

As soon as 3:30 hits I leave work and drive to Barrie to see my mother (2 hour drive). My cousin is moving back to NS from Ontario, is 6 months preggers and my mother came with her to clean up my cousin's place and move the last of the stuff to NS.

So I get there and first thing I was asked to do was take the garbage to the curb. Okay....but there's at least 15 bags of garbage. And they're heavy (wtf is in these things) and I got dripped on, twice! I was totally disgusted, but if I didn't do it either my overweight 62 year mother would, or my 6 month pregnant cousin would....and that just wouldn't do.

We then went to a baby store with my cousin, and my mother made the first nudge nudge, wink wink hint that I should have kids that she's ever given me. After hanging with my cousin for 3 days she's baby crazy!

And then we went for thai food, and then went to bed way too late. Did the 2 hour drive in reverse and got back to work this morning. Exhausted. Easting schecdule is all messed up. I'll need to go to bed early tonight.

yes. now we don't have to go back to slummersville for a really, really long time.
