Gud plan. Gabe, I would also suggest you bring your HBs with, as they prove to be very valuable on southern sandstone.

Looks like halloween. I'll also be there the following weekend for the blitzo thing.

Fun day yesterday. Jung needed some models for some marketing photos that he was taking for the river company he works for. Pay was a free meal at the nicest restaurant in town, so I jumped at the chance.

I should have known that, since it was Jung, that there would be curveballs. The shoot started out good, he wanted to catch the morning light in a luxury cabin, but also wanted to depict afternoon-beer-drinking. So, starting at 8:30, we looked at our prop beerz, thought "what the hell," and started drinking. Then it turned out that Jung wanted some hot tub shots, and stuck me and this raft guide chick in the hot tub with a bottle of $3 Walmart merlot. More drinking ensued.

THEN, shit got real. Jung wanted some "summer swimming pics," so he made us hike down to this deep swimming hole in a creek, told us to jump in, and frolic. Only trouble was that it was about 55 degrees, and the water was probably 45 degrees. Fucking frigid, even with the mild buzz I had going. Thought I was going to drop from cardiac arrest right there, and I could not feel my toes, fingers, or ____ for the rest of the day.

The meal that night was worth it, though. Plum basted duck, prime rib, three pieces of cheesecake. Jay put some of the pics up on the facespace.

You looked so YOGI-like, contemplating sunrise at Diamond point lookout. :) And I noticed that they cut off your balding top of the head in the picture.

weke-end...er, Thursday report.

Took the day off yesterday for Nathan's birthday. He is pretty awesome, if a little confusing sometimes.

He drove up on Wednesday night and we got to bed early. Then yesterday we drove up to Lion's Head and I got on my project. It's hard to warm up in that area so I climbed a nice little 5.10 then went bolt to bolt on the proj to finish warming up. Fired the rig the next go. I had to ask Nathan if the route was really grade XYZ because it didn't really feel that hard.

Nathan finished off a route he had gotten on last weekend and didn't send, then did a pretty rad onsight. He's onsighted at that grade quite a few times before, but he has struggled with the style of climbing at the cliff so it means he's finally learning how to climb there. He did good.

Then we went cut the day short and went out to dinner. It was a good day.

gud jorb. solid restraint with teh numbers. that post right there is certainly something teh west ohioginians would not be able to pull off.

I was just gonna ask what grade it was. Guessing one two boy.

for XYZ, or teh pegbored champ's non-pegbored onsight?

New Thai restaurant at the New was somewhat disappointing. Food was good, but served cafeteria-style, and with really limited choices, Plus, they were running out of stuff. I would have expected the "combo" dinner to run somewhere in the $8-10 range, given the quantity of food and the limited (only) choice. Instead it was $39 for the two of us. A bit steep, IMO.

Unfortunatly, I left Nathan alone at the party. He was being super social, though most of the time he was talking someone's ear off about ice and/or mixed climbing. The unfortunate thing was his consumtion of 3/4 of a bottle of Russian Vodka and his hangover.

So spent about 2 hours trying to get him out of out friend's house Sat morning. He only had dry heaves in the car two or three times on the drive home. He spent the rest of the day in bed, only coming out periodically to complain about the smells in the kitchen and then make a visit to the bathroom.

teh pegboard champ has to realize he can't drink like he's in his 20's anymore.

I'm comfruzed. I got charged $12 for the full-plate dinner at the Thai place. And I don't tip much, since there is no server, really. What sort of drinks did you guys get? I guess that it would be cheaper at Diogis if ya'll split the carnitas or something.

It was cool climbing with y'all, even thoughJefe was being a downer. I still don't get why anyone would make such a long drive down to the New just to be an Eeyor. If I'd have been Jeff, I would have just put my foot down for Endless Wall. Glad he got his One Two, though. Sorry you didn't get your project. More campusing!

We went to Beauty on Sunday. Had been saving Chunky Munky for a flash for several years now, got strong Fred to hang my draws (ZING!), got all his betaz. Made it to the very last draw, then had a foot slip on this hard rightward bump, and had all my gloriez, hopes, and dreams smashed. Then got on this route called Travesty, might be a good prodge for the fall. Joe was doing his regular "it's not so bad" sandbagging, until Fred called him out; "how about you wait until you send something before you say it's easy?" Was pretty awesome.

This is hilarious. I occasionally need a smackdown to remember that I'm not in my 20s as well.

Ran into a friend of yours yesterday at the carg; I think her name was Lindsay? Pigtails, super outgoing and friendly. She mentioned having a bad lead head, after pulling gear on Ontario slimestone, and I mentioned that I had a fiernd who nearly died doing that, and she was like, "Oh, Rebecca? Yeah, she knows everyone!"

Cool girl, but was screaming with the full fear of death as she was about to fall onto a bomber cam two feet below her. I hope she eventually got her head right.

On a similar topic, I've decided to take a voluntary hiatus from the tard climbing, at least R stuff. That last headopint kind of scared me, and I need to wait until I get insurance to do that shit again.
