I hung the draws on Mercy the Huff, but it was mostly for Shaun. Is this like training for Everest?

Dog dayz ov summer are gone.... wether has been great lately. Crisp in teh morning, perfect sending temps. Course, this means we've been having a bigger crew.

Everywon cumming owt is a pretty soild climber. Guess teh werd is findly owt.... don't bother showing up unless ewe kin due won three's. Haven't seen a rookie in months.

Still, ewe wood thinks decent climbers... Wood have a fuking clue.

Hear's just sum ov teh stupid shitz I've seen in teh past several weeks.

Top rope belayer knot anchoring themselves with a heavier climber, belaying from way back across teh stream. Climber falls, belayer is picked up and dragged over boulders and thru teh stream 30' to teh base ov teh wall. Climber drops a mile but is unhurt.

Leader is cleaning draws on teh lower oft. Cleans down to teh bottom draw and then jumps oft withowt unclipping from teh tram. Drags belayer thru teh boulders and stream. Belayer looks like he wus in a street fight, awl beat up and bloody.

Same leader, half an hour later, cleaning another root. Cleans down to teh last draw, this tyme unclips from teh tram and lets go. Swings across teh hole 50', smacking his ankle on a boulder in teh middle ov teh stream and then slams into teh opposite wall. Hobbles owt ov teh hole, with an ankle teh size ov a grapefruit.

Climber wunts to clean draws on teh tr, doesn't wunt to pull teh rope thru so clips into teh middle ov teh rope with a single non locking wire gate. I caught that won and had them double up. Never crossed there mind that a won crab connection cood becume unclipped.

Lead belayer not paying attention, climber falls, waist just above a bolt. Belayer doesn't have teh break hand, holds on to teh feed end, gri gri doesn't lock up. 20' ov rope runs thru teh belayers hand before his hand is so burned that he lets go and teh gri gri locks up. Climber falls 30', picks up his belayer and stops just barely oft teh ground. Belayers hand is blistered and bloody, kan't climb fer teh rest ov teh day..... and by my guess, won't be fer several weeks.

Leader falls, grabs at a draw on teh way down. Hand get tangled in teh rope/ draw/ crab and tears too" flappers in to fingers. Kan't climb fer teh rest ov teh day, had to beg to gets sumwon else to clean his draws. Sits in teh corner crying teh reel tears untill his partner wus ready to leave.

Leader stick clips second bolt, doesn't clip first won. Five bolts up, leader falls and picks up lighter belayer 17' to teh second draw. Leader lands on belayer, kicking er in teh fase. Belayer get teh black eye.

Belayer thinks that more rope owt, means soft catch. Lighter leader falls a long way and then gets jerked to a stop, swings into and slams teh wall hard. Leader lowers oft with black and blue bruses up teh hole right side.

Leader kan't figure owt knot to climb with teh rope behind teh leg.... and I have mentioned it several tymes to him. Leader falls oft, rope wraps around leg, turning climber upside down, leaving him hanging from teh leg. After he finaly get untangled and lowers oft, his lower leg is stripped ov awl skin. Maybe he will thinks a little more about teh rope behind teh leg next tyme.

..... I cood goes on but whuts teh poynt. Mind ewe, these are knot gym climber but rather decent owtdoor climbers. How teh fuk due these gays get so far along in teh sport, withowt having a fuking clue?

While sumtymes it got lonely, I sure miss teh dayz when it wus just C-ya and me down in that shithole.

gee, all of that in one place? And you think the red is the center of the idiot-universe?

So uhmmm....

Whut happened to donny? Did he just gets tired ov trying to stick his dick in each ov us?

I think you need to expand your definition of rookie. Because that sounds... like there is a lot of cluelessness? Poor belaying. And WTF is tying into the middle on one biner to clean? Is it really that inconvenient to pull another 80' of rope through? So you don't have a trailer end getting in the way of your feet and thwapping your crotch? And potentially not die?

Sounds like some real comedy down there. With some real injuries!

he posts on fasebuk, sometimes.

I assume he quit climbing and just does the gardening and wudwerking now.

Yes. upon his big send of the Nose he decided he could hang up teh boots, put his gears in his storm cellar behind his drum set, sailboat and self respect. I think he trolls dancing forums with drizzle now.

He did just put up a pic on teh facespace of him back on the boat from "The Perfect Storm" way back in the early 90s. Was kind of cool.

But yeah, I think that he is more into teh danzings than climbing. At this rate, next time the BET reaches capacity, we'll just have to move the next superthread over to a dancing forum.

and The Tango.

hey kamhed, I meant to ask you what's up with the 5th(?) bolt on soul ram. There are two bolts within about three inches of each other. Upper hanger had a biner on it ... I thought maybe a cleaning biner, but there's really no need for one on that climb. Not to mention, if you were to put the rope through that biner, it'd be grinding along the edge of the lower hanger. re-bolting but they didn't chorp the original? and why so close together?

Hmm, it's been a couple years since I was on it, but was one of those bolts an old one with the Jarrard bed-frame hangers? I seem to remember a few of those on the route.

I seem to remember Nathan getting on Soul Ram a few years ago and not being happy about how some of those bolts had been replaced.

If I remember this I would think he’d remember even better, two bad he’s ded and he’ll never read this.

nah, there's one of those smashed up against the wall at the first bolt, but both of these had standard hangers from what I could recall.

So someone just knocked on the door to my building...looking for candy I assume.

I feel bad because it's just an big old victorian house that's been made into apartments, so no one is going answer.....but if I had bought any candy I guess I could have answered.
