Still writing the Epi post. I had it mostly written but wasn't happy with it. Then some poor climbing days made me want to change the whole thing. give me a couple of weeks. I can't wait to hear about how you did on Epi, especially because we both, apparently, suck at chimneys. I am so bad at them that it is not even funny. Actually, that is pretty funny. I am okay with chimneys. I have never done an extended, unprotectable one though, so that may explain why. My excuse is that I am too tall, but it is a poor one because people are good at all sizes of chimneys. There is this 5.7 at Rumbling Bald called Froot Loops that features a second pitch chimney. I climbed it by climbing the 20 degree overhanging finger crack on the steep wall and then resting with my back when I got tired. It was super hard for me, and when I got to the top I ended doing these roof type moves on this chockstone that were basically equivalent to climbing a full body length roof. My partners did not understand why I was having so much trouble. Uh, sounds like you did Froot Loops direct or something. What you are doing is equivalent to gastoning a hand crack. Wait. You gaston hand cracks, don't you? As an aside, I had a buddy who was fixated on doing "old school" moderates. We go do Royal Arches in Yosemite, which starts with a 5.7 chimney. I lead up, establish the anchor. When he arrives he's huffing and puffing, turns to me and says, "If the rest of this route is like this, it fucking sucks!" I just laughed and told him if he didn't like that, good luck on his tick list. Those old routes are silly with chimneys. I feel like it is a skill that will hopefully click someday. Every time I think it does, I am rudely returned to reality. Weird. I seem really relaxed in chimneys. They're really the only type of route I'm willing to solo. For me it depends on the shape/size of the chimney. Fruit loops was just awkward as hell. Stolen Chimney was just fucking terrifying, and the chimney on river tower was just loose as hell. Now that I think about it, I've never found a chimney that's the right shape or size... Stolen chimney was terrifying? That thing is casual! Right then, it's decided. I'm shit as fuck at chimneys. I though that thing was ball shreddingly awkward and just a shitshow. Fun rowt, though.
I had the most trouble with the cracks inside the chimney. Tough to explain, but it isn't all chimneying in the chimneys.
working on that post. give me some time.

I get the sense that I was not that far from you earlier this week, but maybe in a totally different direction.
We we went to Jemez Springs and met some folks from Albequerque. Anyway, they mentioned going to Shasta a fair amount, so I assumed they weren't too, too far.

I have had to turn down at least 4 trips in the last week. If it weren't for the knowledge that I will soon be at the Gunks, I would probably have turned to alcoholism.

Cool cool.
Did the bar crawl last night. After three hours of sleep, my alarm went off and I snoozed it for the next half hour until I decided I wasn't going to get up.
Now it's 12:45 and I might be leaving in a few minutes. Not quite an alpine start...but I just need to get out of town.
