And I am happy that you fell on Psycho Wrangler, too.

the coolest part of SCC is the scene on the DVD in which Lindner and his buddy try to redpoint that wall in OR. I'm just sayin.

I like that it shows their final redpoint attempts start to finish, uninterupted.

I got the red point book looking to improve my leading skills and placements. I was looking for an advanced book for the experienced climber!
This is not what it is. This book is a "basics" book! focusing the the basic techniques in climbing. great book for a beginner who wants to lead but beware.
WARNING:
All through the book it talks about taking practice falls on your protection. This is the scariest and scetchiest advise i have seen in print! Just my point of view But having learned to lead by an old timer i was taught to climb like your life depended on it! You never let go and take a practice fall!

Pretty funny post tinged with a hint of irony.
