In reply to: TD don't you recognize IM shorthand? ;-) My daughters type that way when talking to their friends online, when they do journal entries it's all proper english. ;-)
Yup, I do, but this isn't an IM, is it? It has it's place, and I just believe that a forum isn't the right place. Kids are getting lazy these days in my opinion.

TD change that to "Some kids..." and I might agree with ya ;-)
Rememebring my own childhood, and now raising two teens and one tween, it turns out thhat laziness, as it applies to children in general, is absolutely situational ;-)
have fun at QQ you guys! wish me luck on Techno Dweeb...

Can't change it. Remember I have the jaded outlook of a man with no kids. :lol: But I see your point. Just seems worse than when I was younger. God, maybe I'm getting 'old'. Catch you later,
TD

Lucky you, I'm stuck till 6. Foo (Mike) should be there at that point. You met him at CH as well. Tan looking guy from Somerville. Don't know when Chad is planning on being there. I'll see you as soon as possible though.
Later,
TD

I need a tan. Unfortunately, I'm pretty white. If I had any less melanin I'd be opaque.
So, you guys look for me, too. I'll be the glowing white figure reflecting the sun's glare into your eyes.
I will mysterously disappear in 1 and 1/2 hours.

Jake that sucks...hate mystery electrical problems.
didn't make techno dweeb, damn it, but then I didn't go with fresh hands....I made it one move beyond where I'd ever gotten before though...so that's kewl. that route burns me out in about one try.
tonight's big success was completing Send Money going straight up the face over the thinnest area. no sidepull, no two crimps over the oval flake, just straight up to the undercling. I was psyched I got that, finally. Man, them crimps is small.
unfortunately Shane didn't send SMoney tonight, you can tell she's got the moves for it, but hasn't quite figured out how to string them together.
what did you guys get up at QQ?
I'm thinking my body's gonna thank me for taking next week off climbing: my lower back is tweaked in the area of the herniated disc i've got (all those laybacks last sunday at QQ), my right wrist is slightly sprained form my first clean repeat of the Send Money thin face method, the sprain in my left foot I got two months ago - when I got that nice scrape (now a scar) down my right shin wiping out up top CR - has never fully healed, and my big toes ache constantly from the Mad Rocks.

yeah guys, how was QQ? I was at BRG all night wishing I was out there with you. I climbed the cave a couple times and flaked with my new double ropes ad nauseum. I decided to cut off the fuzzy and beat-up ends of my old single rope. I thought I'd be cutting about 20 feet off of each end. Actually, had to cut off 23 from one end and 52 from the other. former 60 meter rope is now just 115 feet long and perfect for TR duty.
blah blah blah i'm going to bed.
Anyone climbing outside on saturday? jjeff you'll be at CH sunday?

Yo yo yoooooooo'
Just got back from QQ alittle while ago,what an awesome day! Tanya, Sean and myself got there about 1:30-2! Cooler, B-Bcue, gear and ready to climb!
Tanya and I were doing laps all over the c-wall, then worked our way over to M face and Bombay.
Wideguy, Td, Eric and Richtay came up on the scene!! Soon it was ropes all around!!
Tanya made tensile strength look easy!!
After that it was on to the finer things in life! Stoked up the Hibachi,had some deli dogs and burgers and cracked open an Amstel !!!
Good day all around, got about 11 routes in that I recall! Fair amount of sun to further along my tan! Didn't have to set up or takedowna single anchor!! :wink: Got to hang out and do some climbing with Tanya, awesome climber, cool chick. Had some good laughs all day!!
Got ta see the boys Td , Wide , Eric and Richtay!!!!
Jeremy wasaaabbii Got doubles huh sweet, your all set to go now. What did you end up getting for ropes?
Foo

Good morning climbers!!! Good time last night at QQ. Got there around 6:15 and setup over the outside arete route on M. Then TD, Eric and Rich showed up and set up on L. I started over there with the 5.4 to the right of the Harv flake but again was stumped at the last 10 feet which is pretty blank. Noticed later that the guide says that route actually finishes left with the top of Layback, which Eric suspected. That would explain alot. Have to try that next. Then managed a repeat of Layback, got that pretty solid now, but again found out I've been finishing it left on the alternate top instead of right. Another thing to try next time. Then went around to M to make a run up that corner arete. No, Foo, I still didn't get that last right hand on that jug but I got close. Got out around the face a couple and managed to inch my foot up those small right foot lips like you suggested. I made the reach for that jug, just got my fingers on it and my left foot slipped and took me off. I tweaked the muscles in my left arm catching myself on that lower mantle and it was getting dark so I lowered off. That is definitely gonna be a project to catch that last jug but I'm close. Then Eric and Rich both took turns on it.
Then Foo hooked me up with some dinner and Tanya took down my anchor for me. Best finish of a climb ever. :lol:
Gotta do some work around the house this weekend but definitely wanna climb somewhere. Anyone out and about?

Damn! sounds like shane and I missed a PARTY! ;-) Glad the peeps had a chill QQ day, Yo!.
Wide I will likely be getting in one last pre-vaca CR session saturday, not sure when though, might not be until around 5:30 to dark (shane can climb then..) ...packing, etc.
there is another window of opportunity between about 11:30 until 3-3:30 there as well. I might have coulple climbers with me, the woman I've been dating and a woman I met thru the NEB site a while ago, Jess - she saved my butt with an oppotune crashpad move ;-)...lemme know if you wanna get up.
Foo, jer, TD, Wide, jake, everybody, see ya after I get back from the cape!
*edit* how could i forget...
Jjeff, sorry I can't make the CH outing, hope ya get Cro-mag!

Since Rob is deserting me all week, any chance anyone (with a rope and such) would head out to CR some evening this week to encourage the improvement of this little ol' climber here? It'd be a good time, I'm sure I could provide much amusement as I do what I call climbing. :lol:
I could get there about 6:15 so if anyone's game, I'd much appreciate it!
