ha ha thanks. I could have gone the other way and just named the route, but snoop would just look it up on mp anyway. Plus the vid is short and pretty nice.

yeah, I'm hoping to get some okay weather this weke end to get back on Meager & Weke.
Was out at Echo on Saturday, got a 1.5 hang (the 0.5 being at the last bolt, I forgot to make the extra move to the jug just past the bolt, and grabbed the draw to clip, but kept going). Given that there's essentially a no-hands shortly after the first hang, it should go down next time I'm out there.

So, like See Eye, you need to give us some sort of hint as to what this porject is!
Seriously (and this is not just limited to the B_ET), it is kind of silly how this whole culture of "not spraying" in climbing has somehow come to mean "intentionally go out of your way to obfuscate what climb you're psyched on and/or just sent."
When we say that there is a climb we're obsessed with at the moment, obviously everyone wants to know what it is. I think it's rad that See Eye is working on a new climb that, from the looks of it, is probably the hardest thing he's thrown himself at. I think it's rad that Mo is getting solid on the one-ones. And they're not being any humbler or modest by just posting a video or intentionally not saying what the climb is; they're just sending the rest of us on a scavenger hunt to find what it is.
But what do I know; I'm a known sprayer.

Her project was a .10d at shelf, forget the name now.
Spray is funny. A little is fine, a lot is annoying. The next generation is way worse though. They Instagram the second they do something, always include a number, and usually a dozen hashtags. It's going to take some getting used to.
But yeah, it doesn't mean we can't talk about routes or climbing. I linked the vid because I thought you guys would enjoy it. I feel silly sitting there at the crag watching it between burns, but it is helpful.  . Nothing lamer than spraying about something you haven't sent!

A) nice work! Definitely looks like you need to pick a harder one for your next project.
B) I want to go to Clear Creek.

I totally agree with you, and I have said so before.
IMO spraying would be if you sit at the table at Miguel's full of n00bs who are psyched on their TR hangdog of 5.9 at Bruise Bros, and you start loudly talking about your sick 5.11 proj, or talk about how you onsighted that 5.9 in the dark, with your hand tied behind your back, for no purpose other than impressing those people and/or making them feel like shit, and making you feel good by it.
But if you can't tell your friends about the route you are psyched on, and if your friends can't be happy for you when you send it, or make progress on it, that's just pathetic and sad.

Clearly the climbing community needs to come to a consensus that whenever ewe mention a climb, it needs to be properly cited as in good guidebooks. I.e.,
"Hey guys, I just sent The Racist (Snake Buttress, Endless WAll, New River Gorge, WV, USA, 5.13b, consensus 5.13c, FA Doug Reed 1989, morning shade, afternoon sun, power/endurance/techy)! It was awesome!*

Haha! Well, get on with the sending! Instead of cleaning the spiderwebs and moss out of some obscure crack...

Nice rant, but I thought in these walls we only give each other shit? If you want the touchy feeley ball feely junk, go talk to momma.
Like, in the real world I'm thinking 'wow! Good for see eye! I had no idea he was working one threes!' But in here...we are g3rkz for a reason.

Good poynte, too!
And taking your being so inspirational, and going into off-topic rant, I was complimented last week on my spectacular ability to use a stapler gun (I was stapling a plastic clothesline to the garden bed frames, to make a 1x1ft grid).
I never quite know how to respond to these sorts of comments.
On one hand, the guy was trying to be nice and friendly. AND, I had to take into account the fact that he was working on my roof, and I didn't want him pissed off at me and doing a shoddy job. So I smiled and said thanks, it's not that hard.
But, seriously, a STAPLER? What am I, 3years old? If I told my kids that they were good at using a stapler, I would get roll-eyes in a major way.
Ed's theory is that the guy was just admiring the roof-top vantage view of me bent over the garden beds while wearing a skort, and stapler gun was a handy excuse to talk to me.

Sounds credible. Personally, I can't stand ill suited compliments. I try to be generous and see the positive thought behind it, but mostly I usually feel it just shines a light on the true inadequacy of the supposedly marvelous thing, while simultaneously saying "I'm not really observing you at all, but I want you to give me credit for saying something nice to you." Meh - I don't know, it's just uncomfortable.
In other news... I cut out early from work yesterday. A friend showed me one of the little sport crags they have to keep on the down low here in Connecticut. The climbing was pretty good, and it was fun to clip bolts for a change. It's been ages! It's really amazing how much more climbing you get in. Didn't get set up to start climbing until 5:00, but by sunset my partner and I got in five routes, plus an extension to one of 'em.
I had to try hard, and some of it wasn't pretty, but I managed to OS everything I got on, including something which, if the grade is correct, was at the hardest level I've OS'ed before. So I guess I'm climbing well right now. Or else the style just suited me well. I guess time will tell. I turn even older today, so it is nice to believe that while I *feel* like I'm falling apart, perhaps I have a few more years in me before they take away my keys and shut me up in a home.
Forecast for the weekend is looking iffy. Was hoping to get two days in at The Gunks. May have to rethink that.

When we say that there is a climb we're obsessed with at the moment, obviously everyone wants to know what it is. I think it's rad that See Eye is working on a new climb that, from the looks of it, is probably the hardest thing he's thrown himself at. I think it's rad that Mo is getting solid on the one-ones. And they're not being any humbler or modest by just posting a video or intentionally not saying what the climb is; they're just sending the rest of us on a scavenger hunt to find what it is. But what do I know; I'm a known sprayer. Nice rant, but I thought in these walls we only give each other shit? If you want the touchy feeley ball feely junk, go talk to momma. Like, in the real world I'm thinking 'wow! Good for see eye! I had no idea he was working one threes!' But in here...we are g3rkz for a reason. It's all fake. I work .11c in the gym.
I'm a unique butterfly. I work (fail) 5.10s... and send 5.12s in the gym. And I am only partly kidding.
