Hey, sounds like my life.
Although, the wife did say we should go to Josh for Thanksgiving. Yes that right, Mrs Holidays are for sitting at her folks bored to tears (TEARS!), said Josh.

Not strong enough to send .10b apparently. I got on some spurt this weekend. I thought hangdogging 12 trad on TR would have kept the guns in better shape. Think again! I made a mockery of a climb I thought would go easily. Then, in true sporto style, I sent that climb with the pre-hung draws. It was an old project from when I used to live around here years ago, so it was nice to finally dispatch it. Typically, it went when I finally wised up and realized, "oh, yeah, you just have to keep moving on sport climbs." Then, I made the slowest onsight of a really quality 5.10 trad route. I think my lead head is shit right now, onsighting is a very painful process. I really need to start committing more, is the lesson. I keep hanging around thinking through shit, making routes a couple of grades harder.
I onsight at a ridiculous pace as well and am rightly mocked for it by my poor belayers.
I think it's just a habit left over from my early days when I had no stomach balls for falling on the gear. Not that I don't leave a load in my pants most times that I whip now, but at least I'm willing to so.

I'm pretty flexible, but would prefer to stay cheap (i.e. - probably camp and eat at the tent), but that doesn't mean I refuse to eat out every now and again. Looking to see what works best for you guys and at which location on which dates. Well a freeish trip to the Dominican Republic fell in my lap last week and I fly out on 10/26 and come back on 11/01 so, yeah. I can still make it though. If you hit the New first I will just come out on the first weekend you are there (shooting to stay for 4+ days) and if you hit the RRG first then I will try and catch you at the New after the trip. Just keep us up to speed and we will sort it out. OK, so we have Joel as 50-50 for either location Brian NRG early or NRG late John ? Weasly went MIA about the same time you left for your trip. Weasly has been doing schoolwork and school related activities from before sun up till sundown almost every day. He is even too busy for PCing his ++. Suspected as much. Same shit happens to me at work sometimes, that shit comes in waves. I am afraid this wave is lasting the entire semester. The bright spot is that I have Fridays off and people to climb with on the those Fridays. Do you work weekends? Nope. Hmmmm, is your profile current? Still in Athens? Can you do Looking Glass or Rumbling Bald? I can do both, but Rumbling Bald is more of a winter destination. Weasly, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful granite friendship... That sounds so gneiss. Yes, yes it does. I've all but resigned myself to selling my truck at this point so hopefully I will be able to go that far without breaking the bank here shortly. And I think you're right. If memory serves, the picture I saw of shredded wheat had that distinct horizontal striping. Definitely Gneiss. Shredded Wheat is ridiculous. Best crack ever? Maybe. It looks cherry, thats for sure. Probably gonna be a 3 hang though...  Not if I teach you the super secret rest. Very good. Cheating is one of my strong suits. It is not cheating if you are having fun.
And cheating is always fun, which seems oddly selfserving. Not that I'm complaining.

Dear Kartessa: The above post was about rock climbing. I've been doing so much steep bouldering lately...starting to get an itch for some crack climbing and gear plugging. Cute How so? Adorable how you're trying so hard to talk dirty to me  I included a disclaimer about that already. This line of quotes is solely for rock climbing discussion. It came about because the others keep mentioning random 5.10 trad climbs. Considering that's my current on-sight limit for trad, it keeps stealing me away from work to check them out on MP Maranatha at South Bridge and Remission at Diamond Point... do them!!!!
Maranatha is right next to the climb I broke my arm on at the bottom of. It's on the list.

Very good.
And it's important that you understand this going in so that you can reflect on the moment as it happens, instead of just being surprised and dying before you know what hit you you hit.
