See you guys when we get back from Santa Fe! Should be fun! Funny that we are going to a desert city to escape the heat! Hah!

I'll be back in winter and just ski there.

Two tiers? of what?

I almost climbed the choss today...then I went hiking instead. Probably a good call. It certainly was a close one. A near miss, if you will I saw you life flash before my eyes. Wait, no. That was mine. I think it was called living.
The only thing flashing before my eyes right now is visions of me still sleeping.

Impenetrable shrubberies halted progress 200 yards from the top. Bushwhack harder! heh heh heh... This reminds me of a few weeks ago when I tricked the new guys in to doing some bushwhacking to climb the SPLITTER cracks at Old Rag. It was nonstop bitching the whole way down and back up. Which totally made my day of course. I was laughing so hard I completely forgot to suffer. And the best part is, after listening to me talk the climbs up all day, they were so psyched to try them that by the time we reached the approach they thought the whole thing was their idea. Bryan, you are my kind of asshole.
Woo!
And the climbing truly is SPLITTER so I feel justified this time around.
At least partially, I suppose we could have waited until late fall like most folks...

That's certainly the point of the thread. future posts are always welcome, unless you're name is Jack and then we'd have to stick Brian on you.

eff'n hot up here in Maine. Hit 90 today. WTF?
Still went for a 2-hour bike ride. Normally I go a half-hour further in the same time frame. I was lucky because I ran out of water a mile before home.

It may take some time but I will convince him of his hidden desire for man love.

Hot here too. Should be good by the weekend though. I'm thinking that I would have waited until evening for the bike ride if I were you. Unless getting a good sweat up was part of the master plan.

I hate to go climbing over a holiday weekend because everywhere is slammed but everyone else is heading out so I think I'll go along.
Might hit the New River. It's usually easy to get away from the crowds there if you are willing to walk/bushwhack a bit. Which I am.

I think you overestimate our entertainment value. She probably read about 10 posts and bailed.
