Lam is one lucky girl she doesn't seem to think so I just don't get it. *smacks* you right in the forehead. I was being sarcastic

I think I'd get way more done in a short amount of time. Cathedral has good trad cragging. But you're probably right... Out of curiousity, what do you lead on gear/sport? I don't remember, but doesn't the concentration of climbs at cathedral start in the 5.7-5.8 area? Thin Air is 5.6 and there are one or two .5s but they mostly are .7 and up. The book lays them out by grade, I think the highest concentration is 5.9 or 5.10a That sounds yummy. MB - too bad about Lam. I love multipitch and exposure. That's why the Gunks is so much fun. well, honestly she hasn't had a chance to warm up to it, and neither have I for that matter. My lead head is SHIT. Our first multipitch was on Thin Air. A really cool guy named Chris (gymnasticc on RC.com) led it and drug us up.

There was a gear route where I put a nut on both sides of a block and equalized them to keep the bolck from shifting if I fell. The rock was pretty shitty lime/dolostone to begin with.

I wouldn't drive that piece of shit saturn further than the corner store. I love my truck

There were a few loose rocks that were cleared that day, but the big blocks were solid.

ooops. what i was saying about the piece of shit saturn.....well....I meant it. You reallly like your saturn? Ours is a 3 door S model or something. Ass rides on the ground and it feels like a plastic dinky toy. Great on gas though so its the commuter car

If you want hot maybe you should drop the kids off somewhere and go get frisky with Bruce I can get that kind of hot anytime. I want sunny hot, not wear a coat hot, flip flops hot, sit around the pool hot! I want sticky hot drive with the windows down hot!! Its February damn it and I'm sick of the cold dark nights!! I don't want to shovel anymore and I want to go climbing after work not hibernate in the house on rc.com all night. I am Canadian but I want summer to come!!! Okay rant over with.....when we going ice climbing  It was sunny warm yesterday. I wear flipflops around the house all the time. You could sit out by your pool when ever you want. Night is still dark in summer. And not as long so it doesn't tend to get as hot at night and the other hot makes it tough to sleep. Since I know you are green and don't bunr all that electricity keeping you house cool. Night is actually a lot brighter in winter because of the snow. Make Brent shovel. We went climbing after work. Canadians by default don't like summer. When are you going to stop hexing winter long enough for the ice to form? Way to go and ruin my rant! If I get to climb ice on monday then maybe i will start to wish that winter stays around longer.

[image]http://www.geocities.com/chossmonkey/meatbomb08.jpg[/image] Nope I don't lead and I'm fine with that. I am nice to my rope guns And Beccs even admitted she likes gear climbs better. How do you know you like sport climbs better than gear climbs? Not speaking from a leading point of view. And in answer to your question: because i have followed beccs up gear climbs and do not really enjoy spending 5 minutes digging out a piece of gear that I am afraid of breaking on her. I like bolts because I can climb harder and not be afraid of falling

Sort of. I stutter (mildly, at that), and have ever since I was a kid. Doesn't bother me anymore, but it's always been a hinderance when it comes to things like dating. That's why she broke it off.

Bingo. It does feel cheaply made in some way, but overall I haven't had problems (knock on wood). Have had it for a year, but might get a Ranger for t3h trip.
Pretty sure I will have to...
