I wish I could find that photo of Sonnie....maybe someone else can cough it up. Sometimes it is easier to pull the lip feet first. Its impossible to tell from that pic. It is a shitty pic anyway so I doubt it is posed. I think the caption on this said it was the successful FA ascent. If you check out the youtubes of Separate Reality (there are a couple very good ones) everyone pulls the roof feet first.

You'll be doing good to get out again this year. There is no sense in going crazy with your one time out.

Sounds good, but the Mrs. isn't going to like it much. Unless she has a BF of course. I don't think I'll be away climbing the whole 2 weeks I'm back. Besides for the first couple years we were together I was doing mostly field work, including a couple 8 weeks at at time stints in the Yukon and NWT. We made it through that just fine. Only because she had a BF, don't kid yourself.
Haha, no... we were pretty casual in our first couple years. She had gone on a date or two while I was on one 8 week stint in the field, then phoned me both times to complain about how board she was and to ask how to she should ditch the guy and get out of there.
After that it's been just me and her.

That said, if you were the only survivor in your office you might be suspected.

Bec repeated her hardest RP and made some good progress on her new project. I onsighted two 7b's on sunday. Even if Jack downrates them to 7a+ its still the first time I've onsighted two on the same day. Monday I cleaned the mud and cobwebs out of the Monument and started taking my licks again on that. glad to hear you got on it again. Did you have visions of your meatbomz? Not to much
