How's the Weather?
It's "raining like a tall cow pissing on a flat rock," up here in the northlands.

Will... thats what I see too... rain on sat PM. Might go out to the new approach and penetrate some monzonite..... if you know what I mean. Maybe do some GPS before the rain shows up... or just might do beer in the morning. Probably go in from this end and sorta early for us..... maybe do nothing..... is that a firm plan or what??

WideFriday for 1/25 was a bust.... never got out. On Saturday I did some recon and found some cool ass chimneys and undone wide in our new happy hunting grounds. Next week you guys will need to carry the WideFriday torch... I'll be out of town and hopefully on some new wide. Pics of course to follow.
Update Edit: Went to the Stronghold and took a peek and got inside my "Undone Wide" that now appears to be poached by some fussy Tucson locals.... they can have it. The walls were lined with oatmeal and it was too low angle for my efforts. Way Rob Halford that them dudes poached it though. Is there no honor?

Whoah that one looks hard. It looks like your rope is running all wonky, or is that just the camera angle?

It is wonky. To start there is a mild death fall.... so you place some really bad pro in a small overlap that just might hold if you pitch out of the flare before you get some real pro. It is situated over a chasm, so if you fall right away, you go down a big hole. As Will said... "well, that pro just might turn it into only a leg breaker, instead of a spine breaker." Then of course, higher up the rope dragged through the crack and got stuck when a cam inverted... standard story.... death everywhere!!!!! |

I'm behind the times on these filters I think. What's the cloven hoof thing? I'm partial to hands. Especially since my forearms and ankles are still looking a little psoriatic. |

This appears to have been a long 22 (11?) work days! With tenacity like that, the burner will be child's play, (you'll have a TR for me, right?) we can always have Werner on call.
And yeah, that was me, on that cloven foodt thing, drunk with with (briefly available) strange powers, what can I say?

Jay... now is the time to buy... $66.00 a square foot.... I'll help you move.
Might have torn my good rotator cuff doing cement work over the last few days..... I'll need 4 beers and 18 hours off to heal completely. After that, sky's the limit. Moving van, burner, civil war, Chazbro remodel.... I'm open.

Oh yeah... it's dry. I think it is actually cooler than the Valley. Us older guys start to like the heat after a while. Check out all them geezers in Palm Springs... they are there for a reason.

But I can't golf (too young) and I'm too svelte/fat? to buckle my pants up that high.
