Sweet. Check them off in your guidebook and upload shots to MP.

You could always get a cheap flight into Ontario on friday nite, I could stop and pick you up on the way to barstow and drop you off for a flight home on Sunday.
That is true. That might work for a weekend some time. I'll have to check flight prices for that run.

I would like to do more sport climbing though. I usually prefer to have one partner but things just don't usually work out that way. Currently it's kind of nice having a Krew to climb with because it guarentees that I don't have to do the weekly "can you go climbing dance". Never had a crew meself. Seems like it would be great, so long as it wasn't too big and everyone is more or less on the same page. My partners tend to have different objectives these days. Some don't mind projects, some do, some like crag x, some like crag y. And very few of them seem to be able to pull off a fun trip these days. I used to have a pretty tight trad crew but we jjust kind of broke apart. The sport climbing crew is a lot more focused and isn't very large, Jack, C-ya, Jay, Anna, the Mangler and me. We also have a tendency to break up into smaller groupings and work different projects in the same area which is nice. Right now NJC is "No Jack City" Jay and I are working on a 12a which he should redpoint his next burn or two and Anna just rp'd her nemesis 11c right next to it last weekend on her first burn sunday. Which reminds me, I am no longer going to belay Jay or Anna on their projects because whenever I do they send. I think they are afraid of me belaying them.
Good climbing partners you climb with for years is really the crux of climbing. Life has a nasty habit of getting in the way. I've lost partners to injury, marriage, jobs, moving, and quitting.

Last year Char loaded everything into her myspace blog so people could follow along. I had this travelpod log to do this same with but I kept forgetting to take pictures of things. This year is gonna be different, I'm gonna take a lot more photos if possible.
The guys I was climbing with ran a blog, but I was too lazy. I think I checked the net 5 or 6 times in 3 weeks. I posted once or twice to RC. It' be a lot of work to run a blog from over there! Internetz is slow.

Zeke, speaking of literature, are you adding Gravity's Rainbow to the list. I think so far as pompousness and excessive length goes, it's up there with anything else.

I've been climbing with dave for 3+ years now. If he decides to have a kid or move to Austin that will be the end of that.

Nobody thinks zeke or I is the kratoy.
I really like that boulder problem, good choice for my picture. It's super-easy, but very enjoyable. I do it every time I'm in the Echo Cove area.

The Kor-Ingalls is a good break from the shredding your hands will get at the creek. I didn't do Fine Jade, but it looks sweet. If you're moving fast, I bet you could do K-I, N Chimney (or N Face), and Fine Jade in a day. We did K-I and NC as a group of 3 and were done by 5.
If you need a real rest day for your hands, go to the Fishers and do Stolen Chimney.
