Speaking of this climbing thing... Looks like Gimps in the Gunks is a go. It's in october, so I wonder if theyll do that instead of the Red? Either way, it'll be my first trip there. Should be kewl if I can find a rope gun.

Here is some douchiness to make you laff on saturday. Some of you may remember that when I zent the Warmup onzight and skored the free bootz, I texted a harassing victory notice to snupe and AB:[IMG]http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s308/caughtinside_bucket/photo-9.jpg[/IMG]

I went with that one because it had dizmay, which I know always cracked up AB.

So I was goofing off with my phone yesterday, and I found the rest of the photoshoot. The Lost Photos of the Onsight Victory Tour Taunting Album!!!

This is my favorite

whoops, missed one.

Fun weekend, better than expected. Rain did not hose us at too much, classic lines, no people. Managed to onsight a really cool techy corner called "Replicant," can;t wait to get teh dribble on it, because it's mostly stemming in blue and purple metolius sixed corner.

My partner was not my first choice. He gets psyched easily, but falls out of it equally. Safe belayer, would be fun to do a wall with, knows his shit, but was really out of free climbing shape. I actually had to use #5 on him once.

Also, got to meet the new baby Jung spawn. Cute kid, really chubby. Kind of looks like Cartman. Also met grandpoppa Jung, drank beers with him and BS'd about the Lincoln assassination.

the sharma weed rope is on sale for $208 in an 80m

a decent price for an 80. How much was yours camhed?

Yeah, even my new 70m seems too long.

[WHINE ALERT]

Going from 60m 9.2mm to 70m 9.5mm makes a very noticeable weight difference. And I've been carrying both rope and gear on the last couple trips. Looking Glass approach hike sucked especially.

Oh, and I REALLY want a better pack! I hate slinging the rope bag over my neck, and fitting it under the pack flap makes the weight go too far backwards

My year pass runs out in September this year. Might be convinced to head up for a weekend in October, but considering Nathan might be quiting his jorb early so he can go climb and downgrade everyonese mixed lines next year I'll probably be feeling too poor.

already did. rough posted up a thred about it.

also voted a 5 for keeping castle rock open.

I hate to break it to you, but that rope is clearly labled 80ft, which makes it a terrible price.

hah. All the ropes on that website are labeled in feet, I think someone just goofed. And it's on sale! Normally that 80 foot rope is $300!

Sounds like fun at the Gnu. Nothing to report up here... the rain finally stopped and the winds howled all weekend. The crew did enjoy a 4 hour gym sesh yesterday.

REI dividends are usable now... sadly I don't think they really sell anything I wants. I do need a couple stainless bolt hangers.

If you cut it in two would it still make two 50ft ropes?

Better than expected weekend, here, too. Some rain Saturday night, but no interference with climbing at all. No weird condensation, wet rock, etc. etc.

On Saturday got on some new routes at the Chocolate factory, pretty awesome 5.11s, the bolter/FA guy was there, which was fortunate, b/c I wouldn't have gotten on some of them otherwise. Wanted to try Malice, but we ran out of time and energy.

Banz ran out of phyched juice on Sunday, and left to meet his date. Tony was Tony. Didn't climb on Sunday, either.

Sunday was Military wall. Sweltering mid-day, but nice otherwise. Bolt-to-bolted Reliquary. Won't be redpointhing that one anytime soon though, it is tough for me, I think Tissue Tiger will happen much easier.

The rest of CO crew was really nice. A bunch of strong kids. Half of them flashed Reliquary like it was no big deal. Legend did give them some trouble though. Two really strong petite girls in the crew, too -- too bad they are only here for a road trip.

Yeah, I have not gotten on Reliquary since I notsighted it like 3 yrs ago.

That's lame about Banz and Tony. I can understand how Banz just forgets about everything when there is a new set of XX chromosomes around. But what is Tony doing down there if he's not climbing? Guy has a perfect opportunity to get back into it after his hernia, and he's not climbing as much as possible?

I'm getting fricking sick of the overwhelming lack of psych and the necessity for me to fricking prod and spur every climbing partner out here. Joe is the only friend of mine who is amped to get on new spurt and tard, but he just gets injured too easily.

Does look like Banz made it onto the Trango sponsorship team, though, according to facespace.
