I was just surprised you guys hadn't done it. That's all! There's so much better stuff to do at Whitesides, it seemed funny to "have you led this pitch or that pitch" about the OR.

The OR is a fun route to watch. I saw a guy spend close to an hour tangled up in a bush once.
Oh, another latte, I'll leave you guys in peace now.

Are you the same guy I watched on five star sex at Chossed Wall? Scott said he has never red pointed it. If I can lose about 15 pounds and get my shoulder to work again I want to try that route, probably will get spanked hard though.
Have you ever don Jedi at LW by the way? That's another Corbett favorite. We keep walking by it for the new (easier) stuff LOL, but one day, it's just going to reach out and grab me by the collar.

Sheesh, I haven't made this many posts on this website in months.
I'd like to do the OR, but it's not high up on my hit list. I'm not worried about a no pro first pitch. I'm one those wierd people who actually enjoys friction climbing. Stone Mountain is one of my favorite crags. I'd be most worried about poorly protected climbing above.
I get wiggy with shatty pro way up off the deck. Ask bumblie. Hahahaha, he's seen me at my BEST! Hahahahaha.
Okay, now I'm REALLY done for the day. I gotta write a friggin paper, and I keep on coming back to this damn website.
[banjo]
Said her name was Mimi
Met her on my CB
Sounded like an angel come to earth
(come to earth)
When I went to meet her,
Man you should have seen her,
Twice as tall as me 3 times the girth
(girth)
My fat baby loves to eat
(loves to eat)
With a big ole budda belly, and her breasts swing past her feet
(feet)
My fat baby loves to eeeEEEEEeeat
My big old fat ass baby loves to eat.

Jedi style climbing is my favorite, especially with this shoulder thing-- can't reach up and pull on a hand jam, DOH!
Let's see, you had one little fall on five star that day, not much of a hang at all, still an impressive climb. To me, a climb that you fall on and then finish is harder than a redpoint cause you have to climb a hard section twice.
Now Travis, you'll get plenty of crap gear for pro climbing practice this weekend if it does not rain.

Look at this next time your at Chossed Wall.
Climb into the boxed corner of Samurai on the right side. Traverse right around the corner onto the face. Trend up and right across the face linking gear features to a flake system above. Steep face climbing on ample gear with great exposure.
The direct start off the boulder will go the spring I reckon.

Crawler, I saw your chalk on the climb out of Samurai awhile back. Looked cool. I also checked out the direct start off the boulder. You'd better hurry. And if you've never done The Show, you need to.
Trav, I hope your judgement is better than it appears to be.

LOL Jeff was right!
Jimbo, what judgement are you talking about, Travis has already shown he has almost none by climbing with me HEHEHE.
Let's take a look at that direct start Zac mentioned, but really we need to pull off those thorns nest to southern soft men and beat it into submission first. I gotte remember to put some clippers in the van.

Haha! Hurry? I only just did that line three years ago.LOL Have at it! I know of a few "easy" faces that have v7 boulder starts right in there. Chossed Wall is a good place to go when T-wall is too hot or closed. I'll be there in the spring. The Show fo sho! Is 5 Star still the hardest thing down there. I reckon not anymore, huh?

Dear god. You've got to be kidding. Fukkin vegitation...
Vegitation = Choss
When I maybe get to do 2 days of climbing a month, I'm not so keen on spending that valuable time as a lawn service. Tell you what, it's not the fire season. How about I bring a jug of gas, we pour it down from the top, then go climb something else after tossing a carefully calibrated match.
You see? Ideas like this are why they pay me the big bucks.

Whoa travy-boy, I was talking aboutthe clippers to Jimbo, not you. I have better sense than to put you on a possible 5.12 trad line with thin gear, especially one that you have to pull the brias off. In fact, I have better wense than to put me on a 5.12, I hope LOL.
Matches? Gasoline? Have you considered applying for a job at a major climbing magazine?
I see taht your definitions need adjusting trav. Loose rock = choss, vegetation = that which calls for gardening.
No dear trav, you will be getting on cleaned rock, so that you will have as little reason as possible for all the whining you will do.

Here's an analogy that I just thought up, just now.
Climbing a dirty, vegitated, choss pile is like boinking a fat, ugly, elderly woman. You ain't gonna catch me on either.
BUT this analogy causes a new line of logic in my 'punk' mind. Perhaps it is your preoccupation with the above mentioned women, that explains your preverse pleasure in climbing the above mentioned choss.
Hmmm. A connection Holmes?
Hahaha, it's great when all of us start posting.
