You'll have to bake Nathan and I some bread when we come to Bozeman this December.

We should probably talk a bit about our trip with you too at some point, but it's pretty much the same thing as last year.....but hopefully without the bitter cold.

RAZIST!

Try lululemon. unless you are asian.

Clearly you haven't met the dubble asiant.

fucking off on a completely dead rc.knob

I'm stuck doing schoolwork this weekend, and since all of my shit is up in the office, I'm up here alone.

There are a lot of flies, who are rather slow and stupid.

I've gotten quite good at killing them with a pencil.

I am a fly-murdering ninja.

Can you apply those skills to this thread?

That's cause some of us were out climbing the rocks.

Rumney report: Blackjack crack is really fun, even if it is way short. I'll take the 10+ OS, I guess, but seriously, only reason me or Allison could come up with to justify the grade is that NE climbers are completely clueless on crack. Very slightly overhanging, but with lots of features for feet the whole way up. In Colorado that would be 9+/10-.

Wow. Way to spray down a 20 foot boulder problem. Everything from region-based downgrading to move-specific beta, to subtle look-at-me-i'm-rad spray. In four short sentences, nonetheless!
Wanker.

Very-VERY_ VEEERRYYYY_ WEAK-end report.

I touched wet rock. I flailed. I whined. I am weak. And I have confirmed by careful experimentation that even wet rock and muddy tent are better than no rocks at all.

Ed sent Burlier's Bane. I call it his 2nd 11c, but am willing to concede that it is his first 11d. In any case, he climbed strong, and I was super-psyched to be there when he sent. It was a long road to come back after his injury last February, broken ankle, knee surgery, and all, but he is stronger now than he was at the same time last year, and that is awesome.

Got to see camhead for the first time in a long while. He still looks like camhead, only with longer hair. He also doesn't climb at the Red anymore. and he can do his own weak-end report.

I had way too much bourbon, and not enough sleep, and I am sore all over. But I can still climb 5.10 one-legged.

Ha! Way to get butthurt cause you were stuck at home and I was out climbing!

For the rest - pretty weke flamage. How can I possibly be spraying on sending a short moderate crack?

The only thing in there that hits the mark is that yes, I'm downgrading. I happen to find it interesting to compare the differences between regions. I wouldn't be surprised if Blackjack Crack would be considered way soft at V2 or 10d pretty much anywhere out west. But I use Colorado as a yardstick because I'm most familiar with the grading there.

In other ways, on other routes, Rumney is probably a bit sandbagged compared to some sport venues. Allison certainly found a lot of the routes to feel harder than what she remembered for the grade in CO. It's those powerful bouldery cruxes. I think some Rumney routes would definitely get higher grades in CO.

Where's the carny? Haven't seen him in a while.

I miss Rumney. It's so Schisty.

Looks like I struck a nerve, you getting all defensive and such.

Still planning on early January. Hope it's still open by then.

Well....

As it turns owt,

thanks in large part to the San Bernadino. County Supervisors, Mt Baldy and the private cabins below were 'saved' from the NPS and excluded from the monument boundries.

So in theory, everything is as it is.... Sadly this probibly means car breakins and grafitii. But I'll take that over the NPS.

So bring yore A game.

Hopefully I'll be able to make it down for a long weekend or something. Be fun to hang out and do the boner routes.

Headed out soon for a place like Malibu, only bigger.

Yeah, that was an awesome weekend! Was pretty psyched that the lode was still relatively uncrowded. Still, if those numbers had been at the cirque it would have been unacceptable.

More important, it was rad to see you guys again. You need to come my way more often :). Though, what was that shit about making me reclimb that 11d just so you could tr it, and then bail at the first bolt? If you hadn't been a damn cripple I would have been really butthurt.
