So, I'm putting together songs that are exactly 120 beats per minute so that I can count off the seconds for my hangbored workout in slightly less bored fashion, and I just realized that Welcome to the Mutherfucking Jungle is the exact right tempo! Yeah!

You know where you are baby? You on the hangboard! You gonna DIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!! Shananananananananananana CRIMP! CRIMP! MUAH! I WANNA WATCH YOU BLEEEEEEEEEED!

Just had to share that.

Oh, and Lena, do you have an mp3 player yet? If you do, I'll send you the playlist for your workout.

wow, how long did that ptftw hang for? we are pathetic.

which is worse, that? or the PA free-soloist?

Donny wasn't stupid enough to have a huge amount of rope pulled out though.

The guy in the video would have been okay if he knew how to clip.

Yeah, back in the day, I would be huddled up in the fetal position under a table, sobbing, as the Franzizgrams set my phone off in succession.

I'm still blaming the belayer. It seemed like he couldn't get rope up to clip for most of that time?

well, the PA free soloist was more likely to kill himself, whereas that belayer was more likely to kill others?

teh 2xAsiant made an attempt on my life on Saturday.

was out at echo cliffs with her, met up with Big Tony. warmed up and then got on Calm, a pretty fun and fairly steep rowt I'd looked at but never tried. After getting on it later, Tony declared it the most manufactured rowt at Echo ... it would be hard to argue on that. Anyways, after zending on attempt 3, teh asiant was toproping it, and decided to sleaze off to teh right a couple feet. As soon as her foot touches teh choss gully, a small microwave/large toaster oven size block comes out. It hits the slab below (there's about a 30 ft. slab to get to the base of the steep section) and breaks apart. I was able to dodge most of it, and just took piece off the back of the hand. Luckily no noteworthy damage. I told her to stay on rowt.

Yes, but when he finally had enough rope to clip he decided to clip like a hamfist and botch it.

The PA soloist really was a onc-in-a-lifetime, mythical unicorn caught on camera. Gumbies use GoPros, and gumbies fall, so, no matter how gripping that City of Rocks video was, it was not THAT unusual.

On the other hand, to have two cameras capture a much rarer event (free-solo fall), and record not just gumbitude, but utter cluelessness on all levels, well, that's a rarity. PA soloist wins, no contest.

She really needs to stop pussyfooting around and kill you already. What else are we paying her for?

I think that is one of Doniel's routes.

On choss... you gotta stay on route.

THAT's where my money's been going? Unacceptable!

Next time, we'll make sure to drop a cow-sized block, instead of the microwave-sized. or maybe just get snoop to climb in Muir, where cows fall from the sky without any effort of double-asiants.

Hrm, so a pretty strong female climber (whom I believe Chossy hates, but he probably likes her now, since they're both elites, hehe) that I know only tangentially just posted up a write-up of her recent multi-week trip to Jtree.

She is pretty solid up to 13+ spurt, and has done some hard tard out here, too (All That Glitters at the RRG, as well as the second ascent of a way hard 13a fingercrack at the NRG).

So, I was pretty surprised to read this TR, just reads like any standard 10-11 climber's first trip to Josh. I guess that granite quartz monzonite is not for everyone?

I mostly like the fact that it is a "splitter tour". in jtree. home of the perfect splitters.

i mean, I'm an idiot and all... but aren't a lot of the cracks at Jtree technically splitter cracks? in that they split a face, rather than being in a dihedral/corner?
