The hard sell actually worked with that Sylviasmile woman. I got a PM and were supposed to go climbing next weekend. She wants to hit Seneca, which is multi-pitch trad, so I figure we can go super mellow with a 5.3 to start the day and see how things go. I definitely need a gym partner for when I'm working in NOVA, so this could work out well.

I don't have any pics of me as a kid here in Brasil, but there are some resemblances. i was A LOT skinnier than that dude, though.

In Utah you were digging out with Sigur Rios and later you said you couldn't understand why anyone would listen to anything softer than that hardcore metal with the growl (whatever that's called). I'm with you, though. I have a wide range of tastes, too.

Unfortunately my rack refuses to share a closet with it, so I have been forced to store it on a shelf with my books. It's kind of a sad situation really. who's the man of that house, you or the gear? This is just one symptom on an ongoing identity crisis. I actually climbed 3 boulder problems last month. [image]https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcShmQE_j_rYhq5sVnxjlAICHzn6VgM298TRpM7M7QBEtLZG69FqMQ[/image] next you'll tell me you're clipping bolts, too. Hence the GriGri sigh. at least i bought mine to set routes at the gym for free climbing. Yes, these are indeed dark days for me. I do have the CO trip coming up though and I'm going back to Cannon at the end of the summer, so I haven't totally lost my way. What's on your Cannon tick list? Don't really have one. Don't even have a partner, actually. I was kind of hoping you might want to come out, or know someone who does. My friend is taking his girlfriend up to meet his family for several days around july 4th and wants to climb Recompense at Cathedral, so I'm going to fly up and climb that with him on his one day out. I want to head to Cannon for two days after that. Just need a partner. Will it be too hot that time of year? Better off climbing somewhere with shade? I personally try to avoid Cannon in August because NE gets a fair amount of thunder storms in Aug and you can't see them coming when on Cannon. Which friend are you going to do Recompense with? Hmmmm, good point. Could be sketchy. Ron's been itching to get on Recompense. You would think that dude getting a compound fracture five minutes after we show up for our first day of climbing would have turned him off but he's all about it. The pictures of it look really good. get him on some 5.9 offwidths first. that, for me, is the crux pitch, and no, you can't avoid that crux by doing the beast flake variation. NA, I'd be down for Cannon in August, but would need a ride since I don't get my license back until Sept/Oct. A two day trip would be fine, maybe hit Consolation Prize or Condescendor? I don't worry about the blind storms coming in, just pay attention to the forecast and the leader climbs with a tag line. Recompense isn't that bad, and the second pitch doesn't climb like a traditional offwidth. I personally prefer to do the original line over the Beast Flake variant, but most get wooed by the position and 5.4 jams of the flake. You would just need to let me know what color nail polish you'll be sporting so I can wear some clashing Lycra.

^^^. Maybe even Union Jack or Vertigo? I would also dearly love to exact revenge on Sams Swan Song; I tried it once, got hideously off route, and bailed.
