Desert Towers
1. ancient art III 5.10+
2. North Chimney Castleton III 5.9
3. Kor Ingalls, Castleton III 5.9
4. Honeymoon Chimney, The Priest III 5.11 or 5.10 A0
5. Jah Man, Sister Superior III 5.10
6. Lightning Bolt Cracks, North Sixshooter III 5.11c
7. Fine Jade, Castleton 11a
8. North Face, Castleton
9. whatever pinscar wants to lead .. :)

Walls
1. W Face of Leaning Tower
2. Whatever wall OkieTerry takes me up in the fall, hopefully something difficult and mildly scary. (w00t.)

also, my project at lost dome (wichitas) .. weeeee !

There's some stuff at josh, but i'll refrain since this is the aid forum. Though, my leading on trad generally resembles aiding. :oops:

GODDAMMIT I AM NOT BAILING ON YOU TO GO BOULDERING AND I AM NOT BAILING ON ANDREW TO GO BOULDERING!!!!!

aaaghhhhhhhh.....

okay (takes breath). hueco is closer, less time away form the books, and less money. if I had a choice between hueco and zion with no outside factors, you know damned well which I would choose. I'm not a boulderer, you guys believe me, right? right?


(the air gets quiet in the aid forum, as the members walk slowly towards camhead, brandishing large cams and wallhammers)

jsj - you forgot desert shield! though if you would prefer to do finger of fate or the sundevil on the titan that is absolutely fine with me since i am not going out to zion earlier in the week. shortens my drive.

camhead is still a puss.

RR-Epinephrine

JT-Figures on a Landscape

Y-Royal Arches--> North Dome

Suicide/Taqhuitz-Open Book

oh wait this is the aid forum. Well I want to aid up anything I can find to get some practice for all these walls you folks are enticing me with.

P.S.-what is a good climb in JTree or maybe Taqhuitz for practicing the mechanics of aid. I have aided City Park in Index and a hand crack in Leavenworth. Looking for a couple pitches so I can haul up a bag full of something heavy for that practice as well.

8) Yeah, right on...

First, I wanna solo to Heart Ledge via the lower Muir to build some confidence.

Next, Lurking Fear with a good buddy of mine. Should be reasonable but exciting!

Then if all is going well and the planets are aligned.... I would like to solo Zodiac or Tangerine Trip (very slowly). :twisted:

I wanna meet up with a bunch of you cats in the Valley from May 20 (or so) to around July 1st.
Can't Wait!

This summer I have no school, no job, and money saved for 2 months of being a climbing dirtbag.

I'm headed to Indian Creek late April/May. I don't know much about climbing there. I'm just dreaming of splitter handcracks. I've got 5 #2 camalots in my rack. I LOOOVVEEE handcracks.

Yosemite in late May. I want a solo wall. I'm almost done aquiring gear. And have aided up to 2 pitch C2 with hauling solo. I'm going to chattanooga as soon as I'm better from F*CKING MENENGITIS to do a 110 foot A3 roof. If I can tick it in less than about 4 hours then I think I'm golden as far as skills go, and just need to maintain an adequate level of "go gettem ness".

My Tentative ticklist for Yosemite is as follows. Realize I'll have nearly 2 months.

Aid Walls
West Face of the Leaning Tower - V
The Prow - V
Zodiac - VI

Free Climbs
Snake Dike
Mungenela
After Six
Royal Arches
Serenity Crack/Sons of Yesterday
FreeBlast

These are my dream climbs. I've practically memorized the topos (especially the walls).

This getting sick sh*t is worrying me though.

First of all, Travis, take care of your health - that is paramount.

Second of all, get off your lazy ass and finish my damn Continuous Loop drawing! It is more than a little overdue, and there are many [including] who need it.



I believe that when it comes to climbing, especially big walls, you need to be accountable. Part of the secret of my success is to tell the whole damn world my intention, thus making it that much harder to chicken out for fear of facing the ridicule of my peers.

Filling in tick lists is like kissing your sister - it's nice, but it don't mean nothin'.

A Big Announcement on the other hand shows that you have balls [or] and are actually committed to something more than merely sharing your Christmas Wish List.

Accordingly, I present my Tick List:
    [*:45b28c89b2]Run up my tally on El Cap to at least twenty-five ascents by twenty-five different routes

    [*:45b28c89b2]Make the fourth ascent of Bermuda Dunes

    [*:45b28c89b2]Solo Gulf Stream

    [*:45b28c89b2]Upgrade the status of my portaledge

    [*:45b28c89b2]Make enough money by guiding, writing and editing to cover my travel expenses [Note: If the Captain of the Swedish Bikini Team is reading this, I am prepared to offer a substantial discount from my usual cash fee, or even negotiate payment in kind]

Cheers,

The Doc

Hmmm.... Pete?

Kissing you sister, and Upgrading the status of your portaledge both mentioned in the same post. :lol:

I've got your drawing damn near finished. I feel like I'm holding the holy grail as much as this thing has been alluded to.

Soon the curtain will be pulled back, and everyone will squint in the light and gasp in amazement at the coveted "Continuous Loop System of Solo Climbing" diagram.

Oh, and you all better appriciate the long stem on the freaking wall flower.

Damn stinky bastard.
