Gar.

Sounds like emotional blackmail, whether it's unintentional or not. Your life is your life and it's not like you're gonna be deep in the Congo jungle. How long of a travel is it to see each other?

I got that a few times in my travels from the family... it's a way of them trying to deal with the concept.

It's not a bad flight, but I don't come from a flying family.

I'm also the eldest, so this is the first time they have to deal with someone leaving the nest.

So... five years later, after all the climbing you've been doing, the contacts you've made, and all that leading up to winning the international comp....

What do you say? Was it all worth it?

What do you think your folks would say? Worth it for them?

Yes, I am.

This was obviously a hard decision for 'biner and her family. And of course it seems from this vantage point like the right one, but I'd like to hear her perspective. Anyway, it may not interest you, but I'm not here to entertain you.

I've done a few big moves, and it's interesting to see how they turn out. Five years is about enough time for that.

The route breaks off from an existing line called "the rabbit almost died." The Dead Rabbits were an Irish street gang in the movie "Gangs of New York," and their name came from the Irish Gaelic mixed slang term "dead Raibead," which loosely meant "really tough guy." Raibead means "tough," but sounded like the English "rabbit," hence the evolution into dead rabbits do the gang.

I just thought it was a cool sounding name.

Sorry eye has to be teh won. to break teh newz to ewe..... Knot likely to happen.

Course, being in teh unique position of been there, done that, seen it awl and still living teh nightmare, eye can give ewe sum valuable insights on your more likey future.

If history is any lesson.... much like most climbers, you will give up on yourself sooner than later and quit climbing. You will plant yourself on the couch, get fat, sign up a stupid topos acct and bore us awl to death with stupid stories about how bitchin you think you were, way back when, while you sit around drunk waiting to die.

Still, in your particular case, broken down, grumpy old campground nazi host, tooling around in a rusty pick up yelling out the window at the future of climbing to get off your lawn is a likely component.

However, if you do some how manage to dodge the bullet and make it to a ripe old age and can still get up a moderately difficult route....

Your body will be wracked with pain, even hiking to the crag without a cane will not possible, sending your own difficult routes a distant dream and most of your friends.....

Will have died.

And of course, you will be bat shit crazy and addicted to pain medication.

Getting old ain't pretty.

It's best to avoid it and go out on a high note.

So,


I recomend, walking in to traffic or shooting yourself in teh fase before you become just another victim of a severe beatdown on an old man's routes in teh hole.

Best of luck, however it turns out

Probably will shoot myself in the face, but only after checking out yore routes. I'm getting really psyched for the trip out West.

Can't remember if I've bitched about this, but this year of tard climbing in the head down, ass out gullies has made me weaker physically even though my head is in the best place it's evar been. Think I might start "getting back into it" on the spurt and boulders this winter.

I heard you got pink eye once too.

I witnessed that. It was an early clamhead trip.

Oh, and brief addendum to the Gunks report: ran into Mike, the slightly crazy older dude who we ran into solo-TRing at Lost City a few years back (snupe and Donny, right?). He's still strong as hell, lapping the one two face climbs all day. Sounded a bit down, as he had just had shoulder surgery and was Getting Back Into It, and his mom had just passed away. Still, I hope when I'm in my late 50s I can say forlornly, "yeah, I'm just a 5.12 climber now days."

hummmm.....

So nau ewe wunts to be me?

Sorry eye has to be teh won. to break teh newz to ewe..... Knot likely to happen.

Course, being in teh unique position of been there, done that, seen it awl and still living teh nightmare, eye can give ewe sum valuable insights on your more likey future.

If history is any lesson.... much like most climbers, you will give up on yourself sooner than later and quit climbing. You will plant yourself on the couch, get fat, sign up a stupid topos acct and bore us awl to death with stupid stories about how bitchin you think you were, way back when, while you sit around drunk waiting to die.

Goddamnit. I either cracked or bruised a rib when I had to tackle jasper to break up a dogfight.

Can anyone spare $20 for X-rays? I'll make it like a kickstarter, where the more money you give, the higher resolution x-ray/dick pictures you get. Your choice.

You should, rather than tackle or go for the collar, grab the offending dog by the hind legs and walk in reverse.

Sucks about ribs.

He is a hundred pounds. Usually I grab his tail and yank, but sometimes you gotta tackle a fool.

So Nathan cooked up this huge pile of beets this weekend and decided to make a beet cream soup. Same basic ides as making a cream of broccoli or cream of mushroom soup.

It tastes good, but the colour is just unnatural.

Oh come on, go get X-rays now. You still have several months to fundraise, until the bill is sent to collections.
