So is anyone going to be at the Red next weekend for Rocktoberfest? Lena?
I'm pretty sure the marmots will be there. We registered and paid our monies, so it's unlikely we'll back out now.

I was looking for a good techy prodge, but all the ones I got on felt like they'd kill my endurance that I've built, by being too slabby. Then I got on gud overhanging enduro routes, but wished that they were a bit more techy and cerebral. Then I found the perfect prodge: gets you pumped to the gourd, big thuggish moves, but the true crux is pure, vertical, insecure footwork. Fuel Injector, I am in luuurv. That is awl.
got on teh gnu project on saturday; with jak up at teh owl tor, it was just me and teh flange down in the hole. getting close -- two more moves and I'm up over the lip. just need to be able to save a bit of energy through the tough two clips -- maybe need big tony's swete velcro-draw.

This is kerrect. But visiting Colorado to climb at Shelf or Boulder Canyon would just be sad.
In other news, I had a good weekend of climbing at the top-secret western slope crack location. Climbs were climbed. The wife had only one meltdown, on the first route of the weekend, and then she was fine for the remainder. I think she did pretty well, considering the shit she's dealing with at work, and how it's gnawing at her.

I've heard of this place called Hogwarts, or something. Supposed to be fun?
Banz was saying that Rifle is super-soft, after he spent a week there over labor Day, but I have heard horror stories about slick polished limestone, too. Dunno who to believe, but mostly not psyched about Riffle, bc my once-partner who moved to Riffle is always whining about how he doesn't like Riffle all that much, and how he wishes he was living closer to the New and the Red.

Good times at the leap. The place was overrun with Yosemite refugees. Normally October is a ghost town, just a few locals while the rest of the world is in the valley.
The bar was hopping. Euros everywhere. Huge lines for the classics. Cornelius and I did the weird stuff and never waited.
Was nice to get on granite and dust off the rack.

Never been to Aspen, not sure I need to. Especially since I'd have to pay.

Wasn't too busy in the South Sierras this weekend. With the parks closed and temps rockin, I figured it would be busy. Only saw one other party and they weren't much of the climbing type. Been reading reports of bandit climbing in the valley. LEO is out but they can't catch them awl. I guess if you were really inclined you could skirt things and truck off in Tolumne; though I wouldn't stop car during daylight hours. 120 is open, but there are cones at all the turn-offs and gates are closed. LEO supposedly is stepped up but I've read reports of several bandit ascents this weekend.

Or talk to the girl who is looking for a ride on redriverclimbing.
I believe this is the Jen that Kartessa has a strong dislike of, but it won't kill you to share a ride?

No, different. And also not the same Jen that I don't like. Apparently Jens are just not that likable.

The front line of defense against spammers is the mods, and a number of them have walked away from their posts. It's hard to blame them, when the overlords have abandoned them, and it's only the overlords who have the power to stop the tide of the spambots. But the overlords don't really care a whit about this site. The current owners of the company are a megacorporation (Name Media) that owns and sells internet domains. Even if the ad revenue from this site dropped to zero, it probably wouldn't be a blip on their radar. They have owned the company for quite a while now, but they leased it for several years to D4D media, who ran it. D4D gave up this spring and did not renew their lease. So rc.com is a rudderless ship, and the few remaining mods (including Lena) are doing their best by sticking their hands in the water and paddling as hard as they can. GO i thought as much. i was messaging philbox a while back. i don't think he had been around in over a year...and when i was a modz, phil was the head modz. if i was still wearing the green coat, i wouldn't be that worked up about moding either The ones with a green coat don't mod either, there's three to four of us who de-spam and that's about it. I couldn't care if jt and curt flame noobs and shit now anyway, it'd create traffic, but they're likely telling awesome one-were stories on the taco now anyway.

This is true. Now that I think about it, there are a lot of Jen(n)s I know who are annoying. It's like the female equivalent of "Evan." Every person on mountainproject whom I've ever come across named "Evan" has been a gumby.
