Must be able to talk about ice, skiing, and sekrit radness in Japan for years at a time while being ignored. At least two years prior experience as a fascist mod required.
It's going to be difficult to put an ad out for a position that by definition must exclude mention of said position.

I left Josh and arrived at the crag after the rest of the crew was already there. Strong crew, we had jak, C-ya, the Mangler, snupe and the Brit. First item of business: Jack left a rope hanging on the wall the previous day at 4pm. Returned at 9am, and teh rope was gone. LAME!!!! On to business. I warmed up, and then it seemed like snupe, the brit and I all wanted to tick the same thing, I think it was called Split Personality? Snupe went up first for the true onflash and squirted at the devious crux. The brit botched his betaz on his first go and hung. I donned the super suit and barely fired. I clipped the chain off the wrong hold and only got one draw clipped before I pumped off. It still counts!! I came down and instead of the much deserved Gongratulations, the brit told me my vanity was disgusting and then laid the insult of the day on me: "I bet you twitter" We all had teh laffs, then those guys fired the route, but not before snoppy pulled an incredible bird of fire, flying off with the chains literally in his face. Bkaaawk! Mostly toproped some other hard stuff. I tried the Predator on TR, and I'm not sure I pulled a single move where one hand wasn't yarding on a big fat draw. ugh. Got cold and windy late in the day, and the crew bailed into the sun. It was about 4, so I had to start the long drive home. GUd TR. I'm not sure what made me laff more: you thinking that you zent while clipping the rong anchors, or the Brits tort. He does have a way with wrods.
I clipped the correct anker... but I only clipped one draw. So I suppose it is a lighter than normal shade of pinkzight.

They're called volumes. And the only thing cooler than having volumes on yore wall is to talk about them constantly.

Maybe you could import kaboom. that would be a good trade.. he seems to enjoy risking heat stroke on a daily basis in tex-ass though. Yeah, just in summer... which is from May to September. It would probably be a little humid though. Plus teh wifey likes the warm. Does she know you call her that? I hate that term... just sayin I usually call her "Old Lady" or "Crazy Bird" or if there's a chance should could hear me, "Grace."

Make for really creative movement, more dropknees, toe hooks, and heel hooks, especially on angles steeper than 45 degrees. How do they hook onto the wall? Do they have a removable outer panel that you access to bolt to the wall, then screw the panel into place? the ones we have are homemade. they just screw on. lots of screws.
The plastic ones usually have one super long bolt for the main attachment, then a couple of slider slots on the perimeter to help secure it. Since bolt spacing is always different you need the sliders. They can get kinda wobbly without the peripheral support.

I can see why you would find it scary. If you were lucky you would have a full bright moon. There were some climbers during Christmas and New Years that use to lead many routes without a headlamp. It was amazing. There was this maze too. Did you know about that? . 'Great guy, great climber'.... not so gud at swimming, if ewe can believe a werd of it.

Maybe ewe could get him to tell ewe just how rad is really is?
I ran into him in a dive bar in Chiloe. He said he just got back from freesoling the Compressor Rowt. Had a few beers, shared some laughs. He said the BY is overbolted.

I took my drill to the jim and made a paper template to figure out where to drill the bolt holes in the base. Then screwed the actual volume onto the base.
