I'm watching muted ... out of curiousity, is the pre-placed gearz because he's a kid and having him placing his own shiz while climbing that thing is not necessarily the best idea?

I could go somewhere else, but the three most convenient ones all have a long wait. Aug 20 I can get in though. Or I could suck it up and go in w/o an appointment. *shudder*

I don't know...
I do know that the FA was on in situ gear, and most other ascents have been as well. There are a few true gear placing red points out there.
I suspect part of the reason it gets pinpointed is because it's so damn steep cleaning it must suck, and might have to be done on jugs. I bet a couple of those nuts are fixed too.

Wow. Here, you get online, see which one has the shortest wait times and then go in and sit till they call your number and then get it done. You can't make an appointment like that

I think we have that wait time thing on the DMVs here too, but the local ones are all really long the few times I've been in (1hr+). I could drive to the one in richie rich marin, but I don't want to drive 30 mins either. oh well.

I don't think they will let you past at LAS without it. I've had them stare me down for 5 minutes going back and forth between looking at me and the ID because I had changed my hair since getting the ID.

nah. It's a thing. otherwise anyone who lost ID on a trip would never get home.
I was sort of ok because I had my credit cards and other stuff with my name on it. I got the full body scan plus rubber glove style pat down, and they looked in my bag and swabbed it for stuff.
I've heard (from my brother and loyerette's mom) that if you have nothing, they take you into the back room and ask you a ton of questions about your family, that only you would know. The loyerettes mom was pissed about it because they asked a bunch of questions about her ex right after the divorce. My brother said it was creepy how much they know about you.

Tonight is going to suck. Vicodin and all.
Ed cooked me dinner and hung out with me tonight, while Heffe enjoyed a guys night out with his friends from Egypt.
Another friend is hanging out at my place tomorrow.
So many people offer to help, it is kinda amazing. I even have some folks planning to drive all the way from Columbus to do some gardening for me next week. I am really touched.

Weekend report- I won the winz, and beat a bunch of boys while I was at it, while almost being beat out by a 15 year old cockroach. But - she had no finishing power and kept stepping off route.
So now I gotta go to Spain in September to represent our fair country!
Thats awl, the brag is mostly for Jack who's not on facebook. Also....gold medal and BAYBEEZ!!

Gneiss! I've not seen vid of Grand Illusion before. There is some discussion on MP on whether it or Phoenix was redpointed first, but as I remember, it is consensus that GI was the first harder-than-13-minus in the US.
I think that quite a few people have pinkpointed it over the years; I know Rodden did way back when.
