You guys are talking about October, right? I'm assuming so since the 5th of September is tomorrow.

you are right...I should stop arguing against these people when they are making me really jealous...I should simply delete them from my friend's list.

The only cure will be to get some pics done on your own, I bet. And I'm not even close to be a psychatrist :D
Let's watch out for the Kodak moment in VDM in October. If it rains there's still plenty of time to track down the source of self-pity and punish them :twisted:

You will! Most probably earlier than me... but I won't complain. Pity is just that the sun sets so freaking early so after-work slacklining/park-hanging is deminished :?
Keep upright! It's already humpday, everything's going uphills from here on :D

It sure was hump day today! I freakin humped heavy wooden beams and boards onto a roof after removing all the old ones. And I've felt like crap lately, got the flu or something. I think Paolo put somekinda voodoo italian curse on me. But I can't complain, I'm still living in such a beautiful place with climbing in every direction.
Yeah, so if I'm not hanging out here much it's cause I finally broke down and got a job. This working thing is hard! But then it's worth it if you can afford to do stuff like this:

Sorry to inform you that photo shop had no part in that picture, since I took the shot. It's really that incredible!!!! The pitch up the "flame" as it's called is only 5c+, but the exposure is pretty crazy.
Oh, and right after we rapped off, we saw that amazing rainbow. Life is hard...

'only' 5c+?? for that?? is it a 'real' 5c+ or an 'old school' 5c+? whats the pro like? WHERE IS IT??? im drooling all over the keyboard right now.
anyway, i just sent my nemesis yesterday. its a nasty 6b+ that i decked on (you can easily deck from the first three clips or so and offcourse the crux is at the beginning) and that i was really scared of. man, that made me feel good.

Exactly what I thought. 5c+? That means it's not impossible for me to do it. Which also means, I might have to do it sometimes...

Congrats! Which idiot bolted a 'deck from the third clip' route :? Sometimes I just don't get those FA freaks....
Have a nice one all!

We're going for Patagonia next February, I hope. Two masterplans there, the Franco Argentine route on Fitzroy and Whillans route on Poincenot.
This is the draft for our website (I'm the sampsa guy):

Still alive...
Last Sunday, Dolomites, Torre Firenze NW Arete 600m IV. Probably the must fun climb I've ever done. Awesome rock, incredibly solid, easy, sometimes unneccessary to protect whole pitches, it was JUST pleasant:

Ah voilą, back amongst the living! That route looks niiiice (and oddly the sheep are sooo calming me down). Sounds like something I wanna do... especially the 'easy' part :D
Three weeks to go... hope you got something similar for me - if I did haul my a$s all the way down to Italy then?!?

Generally I'd repeat that route for sure, but I can't plan anything right now... the peak isn't very high (~2500m) so temperature end of Sept should be less of a problem.
If things work out somehow, I'll haul your old ass up ;), but I'm telling you, it's 1.5hrs approach, partly up the choss pile, 500-600m of climbing, and another 1hr descent, so better go running twice a week now, starting TODAY ;)

Seems you doubt, that my cancerous smoker's lung regained life enough the last half of a year?! I'll tell you as soon I stopped puking at the base of the climb :lol:
