I believe I can make it to that point, then it will be air time!
Getting onto the slab and beyond is perplexing. I think I know how I failed. I was doing it totally wrong.

Actually after careful consideration, it appears Tiff and I shant be joining y'all.
June 19th is our anniversary. Our FIFTH anniversary, and since we cancelled our original plan to go back to Thailand, we need to make it a good one.
Now, don't get me wrong....hanging out with you guys is certainly good....how shall I say this......it just doesn't have quite the romantic qualities one would look for in an anniversary getaway (ANd before you ask, Rich, no I won't hold your hand or snuggle with you).
Tiff and I will definitely be climbing SOMEWHERE but will be looking for slightly better accommodations than an old retired couple and a donkey can provide.
SO, accept my heartfelt apologies, guys, and Maybe we will see you at some point this season.
Josh

Why would anyone want to go to a climbing event called a "Ruckus"?

Actually, that would be alliteration rather than rhyme.
It is the name of a way cool scooter though, here in somewhat hopped up form:
And if I'm not somewhere else (possible Val di Mello trip in June), count me in.

ruckus
ruck-us [ruhk-uhs]
–noun
1. a noisy commotion; fracas; rumpus:
2. a heated controversy:
Origin:
1885–90, Americanism; prob. b. ruction and rumpus
Dictionary.com Unabridged

n. A disturbance; a commotion:

noun
the act of making a noisy disturbance [syn: commotion]
WordNet® 3.0, © 2006 by Princeton University.
There, I think you have it! We will be making a noisy commotion, where a heated controversy may arise as to which climb is better. This could, and probably will, create a disturbance, or commotion if you prefer. Of course, others in the area may get upset by the act of us making a noisy disturbance.
Did that help?

the only loud disturbance is going to be Rich's kids crying in the middle of the night.(and the donkey) Although there will be lots of controversy I am sure. (less now that the anniversary couple will not be there). It is quite possibly the most llow-key ruckus that I have evr experienced.

Yes, it is extremely laid back. It's more like camping in an excluded area with nothing to do but sit around the camp fire swapping stories at the end of a day of climbing.

Not bad! My only issue is not having any partners with a free afternoon like I have.
So I've been working on my solo systems. Solo TRing is a pain in the ass, but I'm too big a pussy to forgo the rope entirely on a regular basis, so I guess that's the best workout I'm going to get (not counting weekends).
Thanks for asking!
GO
