Why is it that like every picture I see of Rumney it looks like the route has a) some big ledgefall potential, and 2) some dihedral wall that gets stemmed off of, even on the 5.13s. I would like to check the place out sometime, preferably when I am in good power/bouldering shape. I don't think that's a good representation of how rumney climbs.

We did manage to move the high point up to about the 400m mark, and now have the whole face rigged for rap up to that point... only thing is that face is damn hard to judge distance on! Last time we figured only a few more pitches.... well a few more rope stretching, inovative rope extending tricks on every pitch, pitches later.... we have now resigned to the fact that it is still atleast 3 more pitches to the top.  Only problem is the seasons are definitely changing fast up there an it's now getting to be a long ways to the high point. Looks like it may be on hold till spring.
Maybe it will get ice and you can finish it in style?

*CI shitz pantz in rage*
Winter activities also include climbing local choss -- be it santa monica mountains crap, dynamited then glued back together granite quarry, jak's post-apocalyptic desert wasteland, or quartz monzonite.
And going to red rox.

And don't forget Thomas will be around too. Will Lena be around? Will you guys be doing Miguel's or Lindas? We'll probably be at Miguel's. We'll probably do Miguels. We have been doing Linda's in the summer, since (reliable) showers are pretty nice for washing off humid sweat, but it sounds like Miguel's might be a nicer place with friends this time around. Unfortunately, Lena will not be down this coming weekend. She had/has a three day weekend right now, and is doing a four day weekend at the Gunks with us in two weeks. Chossy, Welcome to Muthuhfuckin' Ole Kentuck, now! NOW! CRACK KILLZ! You need someone to preplace your cams?

(1) DCT
(2) That was the first time in at least 10 years that I came out of my skis. You were witness to an oddity. Especially since shortly thereafter I cranked my bindings down. Funny I had to do so, since I will never take them back to where I went to get them tuned again. They lessened my DIN on me and it took that fall to figure it out. Now the ski will break. My boot stays in the binding!

Anyone attempting to arrest me for drinking and ice climbing will be gruesomely decapitated with an ice tool and possibly a deadman anchor.
