I was wondering if "copperbrain" was contagious
I am thinking the Dr. PITON may have the answer...I am to understand...in rare cases it leads to an **copperhead**
I only hope the Dr. can find a lotion or sysrup that will help???

Copperbrain! Copperbrain! Bryan is a copperbrain!
Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah-nyah.

Come on, Kevlar. Why don't you go for the jugular and call him a big, dumb silly next!?

In reply to: Copper (Cu) is elemental, in its purest form, unpretentious and clean. It's also been around since God was a boy.
And so are lead, mercury, cadmium and uranium.
He was a bad, bad boy.

Hah! Very good Bryan. That would have taken me a couple of hours, at least, being a sedimentary guy.
BTW, I'm staring at my tattered copy of Hurlbut & Klein. *19th* edition, 1977. What an old fart I am, huh?. That book is one tough mutha. So was "An Introduction to the Rock Forming Minerals," by Deer, Howie & Zussman. I think the word "Introduction" is a cruel joke.
Mineralogy and petrology are very tough subjects. Especially igneous and metamorphic petrology. You haven't suffered until you have spent three hours looking at thin sections with a polarizing microscope.
Copperhead ain't stupid.
Sorry for going off topic and halting the fun. Flame away. I'm staying out of it, as usual.
Mark

In reply to: "An Introduction to the Rock Forming Minerals," by Deer, Howie & Zussman.
Our prof uses it as a reference in class but I don’t have a copy. I like Hibbard’s new text but it’s kind of wordy. Scopes are cool – “look at the purty colors…”
In reply to: How was the first pitch of Space?
It was pretty cool but I bailed from an intermediate anchor (existing 1/4” bolts), two-thirds of the way up the pitch. The first part of the pitch is the crux of the route and entails a bunch of heads on a steep face above a ledge. There are a few tricky moves (#1 heads in a thin corner that is semi-hollow/expando) that are a little spicey because if you blow it, you break something. Once you clip the first rivet, it’s not so bad. I got physically worked and lost my psyche. The route was a bad choice for a warm-up after a sluggish semester but the short amount of climbing that I did do was fun. My partner then teamed-up with another bro and they did ND to Tribal – a better choice for a warm-up. I’ve bailed from other routes too.
Last year, I became much more interested in geology than climbing and that’s how my summer went. I didn’t climb a single wall but instead, spent the summer with a few professors and a grad student who was working on his PhD. My buddies would ask if I wanted to go climbing and I would say… “Nah, we’re going out to blah-blah to check out the blah-blah and see if we can learn something more about blah-blah and it’s blah-blahic implications…” I took one of the profs up Cathedral Peak for his first multi-pitch climb and we had a blast. We looked at “The Pod” (the 2nd? belay) and it was cool to discuss the presence of epidote and chlorite. Much of the rock in Tuolumne that contains the large knobs (feldspar crystals) is Cathedral Peak Granodiorite, named after the peak itself. I also went backpacking and did some peak bagging – two things that I really love. In retrospect, I’m glad that I had the opportunity to work with research scientists in the field; I learned a lot and it was good experience.
Anyways… school can get kinda boring at times and participating on this forum helps to keep me psyched for wall climbing and climbing in general. I think I’ll try to do a little more this year; we’ll see. Just gotta finish with finals first. Ug.

Kevlar - "copperhead" is contagious. Find a steep wall and hang upside down in your harness for a couple hours. Once all the syrup drains out of your head there might be room for a small amount of copperhead virus. :mrgreen:
