So I mainly just PC++ when I needs to get a mental break.
Yep. I can sneak in a quick email or so on my phone between working with students and such, but not much chance for PC++.

So I just had a Red Bull. Sugar free. Never tried one before. Tasted a bit like a Monster as I recall. A bit sweet, nothing to write home about. 80 mg of caffine. Doesn't sound like a lot.
We'll see how it works for the rest of the night.

An Average 16 oz energy drink is 180.
And an Average Coffee House coffee is 320. Woa.

For runnout slab, might I suggest RAF and Swing low in Echo Cove. Also Stitcher Quits, aka Black Tide, on Echo Rock. Joshua Tree.
If you are really feeling it, go for Crater Maker at Big Rock. 100 feet, 2 bolts, last bolt is 40 foot up. Don't crater.

If you make it to NC, Weasly or I will be happy to hold on to the end of a rope while you commit suicide.
When you start surfing down the slab, I will run so fast for you. You will love my long legs.

She just became the first asian woman to do the seven summits and ski both poles. can't wait to hear more about it enroute. Nice! Its been way to long since I've been up to the North Conway area to climb. I've been there a fair amount being from New England, but it generally bores me. We're going because it is two hours for each of us. any other location would be more than that on either side for one of us. Understandable, North Conway for me means close proximity to Huntington Ravine, and Cannon. Probly my two favorite spots in NH... Cathedral's not bad, though always crowded. Whitehorse is a bit scary... never made it to cannon this year, and I've never been to huntington ravine because I don't do the winter thing, so not having been to the latter isn't surprising, but I should have made one trip to cannon this year; I usually make two. Even though you don't do the whole winter thing, its worth taking a trip to Huntington Ravine to do the Pinnacle Buttress, tis good times.  um, yeah, that's pretty sweet. and it's my kind of scene, too, where I get really get away from things. thanks for sharing that. but why not do the direct finish? Ya, its a fun climb. You're welcome! Direct finish? We did the 5.8 variation or some such thing... It was two years ago, I'm trying to remember the route options. The picture is of the fairy tale traverse, which is pretty rad.
yeah, it looks pretty sweet as is, that's for sure. I just saw the potential for going straight up.

For quite a while I couldn't use Stalkbook at work, not that I use it much, but then I got a laptop, which I now use instead of my old desktop and I can get on it... but I don't.... more to keep to the pattern, even though I know a lot of other workers are on it.
This site however....

The other problem is the sugars... I think an average soda has a ratio of 2 cups of sugar per gallon... energy drinks I believe are similar. Good on ya for trying the sugar free. I can't stand the taste of artificial sweetner. We make sweet tea at home and put in three quarters of a cup per gallon.

I was talking to a friend about this earlier tonight and decided that I'm going to have to suck it up and join the Stalkbook. I never had any use for it or Facespace before so I could justify staying away but between this^^ and the fact that the new guys use it to flesh out the climbing plans, which I only find out about last minute due to me being so far behind the times with just having the cellphone and all , it might actually serve a purpose now. Jennifers take is that I'm just a crotchety old man; made all the worse by me hanging out the college kids here lately. She seemed to find it all rather amusing.
Wow. Did you do it yet?
