:cry: You might be a 'caughtinside' if you didn't climb this weekend. :x Fortunately, you might also have gotten out for some basalt splitters on thursday, so the pain isn't too bad. And of course, drinking mimosas with a gang of hotties most of the weekend is some consolation prize. :robert: Oh, you might be a 'brent_e' if you wish you had the Cali rock! :twisted:

This is generally true. In fact, I hear it all the time. "But Caughtinside, you're much too young and good looking to be an aid climber!" This is the case, but I out of action for a couple months recently with a finger injury. Fearing to go too long without rock, I took to aiding at the local crack scene. Shit is slow, yo. Plus, I only had one daisy and one aider at the time. The rest was a hodge podge of knotted slings and webbing. Let me tell you, standing in your makeshift aider made out of your knotted 10mm double length sling sucks donkey balls! And I already have a grigri for self belay, I just wanted to mess around with a new device. But brent wouldn't part with it for the price I offered, which was so low as to be insulting. Oh well!

In reply to: This is generally true. In fact, I hear it all the time. "But Caughtinside, you're much too young and good looking to be an aid climber!" Likely either your mother, sister or first cousin? :lol:
In reply to: Fearing to go too long without rock, I took to aiding at the local crack scene. Fair enough. Aid is actually a pretty good skill to have. Why just the other week I had to aid a line to bolt it. I actually just got done ordering a new #0 TCU for MRS. Monkey to replace the one of hers I destroyed. :?
In reply to: s--- is slow, yo. Plus, I only had one daisy and one aider at the time. The rest was a hodge podge of knotted slings and webbing. Let me tell you, standing in your makeshift aider made out of your knotted 10mm double length sling sucks donkey balls! If you only own one aider, your probably either a Brent_E or a Caughtinside. :lol: You two should get together and then you could have one whole set of aiders! You really should have two sets though.
In reply to: But brent wouldn't part with it for the price I offered, which was so low as to be insulting. Kinda like in the Camalot thread that may be landing in the choss pile soon?

Likely either your mother, sister or first cousin? :lol: Yeah right. It's acutally my cheering section, 5 lovely young ladies in cheerleader outfits, with dazzling pom poms. They do aerial tosses when I send.

Yeah, one aider sucked. I don't need brent though, since I hooked up some more on eBay. Bargain city!

That thread is pure comedy, and the little chat you guys had over there (spilled over from here) added to it. Well done. I'll sell that dude my #5 and #6 BD for $40 each... if he lets me kick him in the jimmy. Once for each cam. Man, this breaking up posts into mini quoted sections is a lot of work. Think I'm done with it. If you break up long posts into mini quoted sections, you might be a "chossmonkey."

Mr. Chossmonkey, Since you bolt routes as well, and like myself have an affinity for choss, have a look at these: The work: http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=33201 The reward! http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=43191 This is Aloha Patrol, a 4 pitch sport line in CA me and a bud put up. Super route, slightly sandbagged, sweet choss city! Plus, I'm shaking like a fiend in that photo to try to hang out while my buddy got the shot. There's a funnier one, I'll see if I can find it. oh, you always gotta put route names in italics, it lends a certain mystique.

You want choss? 'Cause I gots choss! Howler Monkey http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=41607 Killer pull over bulge, no feet. We named it Howler Monkey, because we had just finished bolting it, and this dude hikes up this 100 yard talus slope just to our left, about 30 feet. We saw him, but he didn't see us. Thinking he's alone in the wilderness, and having conquered the slope, he let out a long and primal bellow, that had us totally cracking up. He was a bit sheepish after he noticed we were hanging around. About as sick as .10d gets.

In reply to: , with dazzling pom poms. Hmmmm, what pom poms are we talking about here? :shock:
In reply to: Bolting lines is where I started aiding as well. Top down, is all I gotta say! :shock: Sometimes top down just doesn't work. The "top" of the route is the underside of a big roof. A big extension ladder would have worked nicely though.
In reply to: Sorry to hear about that one. Again, top down. Actually I could have avoided this if I would have been actually bolting as I climbed it the first time. I just wasn't quite sure where the best line would go and I had a lot of time to kill. So I aided it first then bolted it.
In reply to: That thread is pure comedy, and the little chat you guys had over there (spilled over from here) added to it. Well done. I'll sell that dude my #5 and #6 BD for $40 each... if he lets me kick him in the jimmy. Once for each cam. Yeah it got pretty funny all the way around. There was some pretty good stuff said.

Sadly the route I just bolted wasn't as noble as the the routes you posted. It's on the bottom of a bridge. It is on the opposite side of this arch that Brent is being all hardcore on. http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=70692 It's our drytooling practice playground. :lol: Maybe this summer I'll get to go put up some real routes. :? I think my drill is taking a shit. Its getting pretty old and the batteries don't hold a charge very well anymore.

Man, if you bolt bridges in the US these days, you might be a terrorist! Then again, you might also be a 'brent_e.' Plenty of rock out here dude, come on by some time. That shirtless shot of me is in November, the bouldering shot is January. 12 month climbing season, assuming no wild 10 week straight rainy spells.

In reply to: Man, if you bolt bridges in the US these days, you might be a terrorist! Then again, you might also be a 'brent_e.' We didn't bolt the route in the pic. And that bridge is actually in Canada, so its all cool.
In reply to: Plenty of rock out here dude, come on by some time. That shirtless shot of me is in November, the bouldering shot is January. 12 month climbing season, assuming no wild 10 week straight rainy spells. Or is it a 12 month off season? :? Those January pics look a little too warm for ice to form. Actually when I lived in WI we could get out in Feb. and climb in a T-shirt on occasion. Though that wasn't very reliable warm. Once I had to shovel a foot of snow to clear an area at the bottom of a route. :lol: That was before I learned the ways of the darkside though. Warm winters,.....no thank you. Calgary should be nice, only a 7 month or so off season.
