It's supposed to be a bit on the rough side, but I think I'd rather do that than rap 2500 feet. You should read the TR's of the North Dome Gully descent. Also, you often end up rapping on that descent anyway! FWIW, a lot of people end up saying they much rather would have rapped down. I think rapping CJ would be alright in the light (probably less than 10 raps) and then you could either rap the arches or go for the NDG, depending on you felt. I don't know, I hear from a lot of folks that NDG isn't so bad, so long as you don't have to onsight it in the dark. People do it with pigs, so it can't be that heinous. It gets done in less than 45 minutes by people who know it. Well, yeah, but we'd be onsighting it. Linking RA--CJ in a day in winter it would be dark, no doubt about it. I guess hiking up it is a good way to go, so you know the way down afterward. Here's the plan Eric and I have: Do RA first day (don't have to start at 6am like everybody is always doing); bivy at the top of RA (get fresh water); we will have sleeping bags and Eric has an ultralight tent, so the cold won't be a problem; stash gear near CJ start the next day, where we'd rap back into; then, after the route, we'd either rap RA or maybe do the NDG, depending on daylight left to figure out that path and how we feel about the raps. We'd be a bit heavy on RA, but I don't anticipate that being the biggest deal. For the slab of CJ, we'd be much lighter. A tent?!?!? you guys are out of your minds. That's exactly why you should do it in a day, so you don't have to take all that bullshit and you can just enjoy the climbing. That's exactly why we're bivying, so we don't have to worry about epicing in the dark and can enjoy the climb! Trust me, we already packed it to see what it would be like and it's not the pig you seem to think we're hauling. Eric likes his ultralight alpine gear, so the tent is as light as it is expensive. We won't be carrying "the pig" on CJ anyway, so I'm not too worried about it. You've got to remember that neither Eric or I have done RA to know how fast we'd go on it. He and I doing the linkup in the shortening days is unrealistic and has "epic" written all over it. But it sounds like you want to link RA to CJ in a day soon? I'd be game to try it with somebody who has been up RA before.
I don't have plans to do it currently, just some day soon. Likely not this season. I'm just not in to climbing with a pack. sleeping bag plus tent, no thanks, even if they are super tech. If you do it in a day and get a ride off the back you only need one rope too. It's all about laziness, zeke. Well, speed and laziness.

Hey Vegas Kel, I could climb on 1/04/08 if you are available and don't still have a hangover! We could go a tradding or do some sport. Mrs. Zeke agreed shopping, etc. would tide her over as long as I got back to Sin-ville for the evening.

OK, so maybe I was wrong, the weke is not stupid. So doc, is special just another way of saying gay? Cause if so... the weke is special

Here is a funny H Beez story to amuse you fellows.
Anyway, back in those dark days before I owned my set, I was trying to get some. It was becoming common knowledge that they weren't being made, and were becoming increasingly hard to get. But a set popped up on ebay every so often. They seemed to be selling for around $60, which seemed outrageous at the time, but later on they would sell for $100 a set, so it doesn't seem so bad now. I guess that is only $12 each, but whatever.
So I am in a bidding war as the clock winds down. The price was only at $40 when I started bidding, I thought they would be mine!! The bids go back and forth between als01 and I, and I end up losing, I think my max bid was $65. Oh well.
I am a little annoyed. I click on als01's profile. She is from berkeley. Hey wait a minute, I have a climbing partner whose initials are als. She graduated form college in 01. She lives in berkeley.
D'oh! Sure enough, I had gotten in a bidding war with one of my climbing partners!! I sent her an email about it and we had a good laff. I meatbombed onto one of them a week later when we tested them out in some flares at the leap. On a savage .10c called Black Opal. A pretty scary climb, all my cams were junky because the flare was so severe. I fell on one of them, thank god it held.
And of course, I was able to acquire my own set for $20 like 3 weeks later.

No. I climbed with him, we did some fun routes. He introduced me to Simon Carter and Monique Forestier and I climbed with them the following day. Simon got some cool shots of me on Run For Your Life.
baby tool did tell me he put the anchors on colorado crack, murf chopped them, so he put them back in with some kind of unchoppable petzl bolts. Well, I guess you can chop them, but you'd really wreck the rock if you did.
He was a cool kid. I don't know how much narcking he does, he did says he calls the sheriff when people camp at sector 6 or whatever, says the place is getting trashed.

A good meatbomb should have a couple good elements.
It should be funny.
It should be insulting.
It should contain plenty of misspellings.
It should have some good inside jokes.
It should be clever.
A good base photo helps too.
Originality is a plus, while still paying homage to it's roots.
