They're hard. A bold climber might try to free the aid lines. Though I don't know if anyone has even led them. They're super thin. I'm going to try and lead it clean, probably next weekend. Clean as in free or clean as in hammerless? As in hammerless. Though I probably need to get me at least 3 more micro-nuts to do it safely. There may be one hook move. Hmmmm IME's consignment counter usually has some Zeros. People, Epoch is going to reacquire an aid rack. It is time... Poor guy. Never saw it coming. Let me know if you find a good deal on some pins. Just because I'm getting some pins, hooks, and stuff doesn't mean that I'm going to get fat. Oh, and note that I mentioned it was a reaquisition, not a straight acquisition - not to be confused with inquisition, Toady. I should just be lazy and have my dad send me his.

I'm quite disappointed with the lack of turnout. Has Epock sterilized this entire site already?

Thanks, but I prefer just bitching about shit.
Like what the fuck is up with these advertisement banners? Someone needs to come up with an alternative to internet explorer that blocks those things.

welcome back BTW, seems you've not been seen around here for a bit.
What was the deal... out traveling, spend time in the greybar hotel, or just something more easily explained... like say... a sex change operation?

humm, u r all rong.... cept the part about french grades more accurately discribing the the difficulty of sport routes.
So, if you are a sprayer, you would have to call it 13a. Thats what jt512 would grade it. Cuz thats what he does to all of my routes. By the fact that you are hear talking about grades, leads me to believe.... spray!!!1
Personally, I've got to figure that the 12a and the 12b are both over rated by a grade to a grade and a half. So I would rate the link up 7a+ and let the posers whine. I'd have to send it to be sure, but it is likely a pretty gud guess. Nothing worse than having real guys walk your soft grades and down rating them...
