A Bow Valley Extreme 5.4 TR
Kevin run out on an Extreme 5.4 lead,
until so exhausted that he fell asleep in the crack..
then Dan fell asleep holding a tree.
and then..
Kyle fell asleep..
He woke up to find only a 7mm static line with a pair of jumars dangling in front of him
..and so he jugged
then Dan woke up..
It was dark.
So we started to rappell..
but..
due the the sheer "vertical" nature of the slabs 
the ropes snagged and got caught up on every tree and bush..
and had to constantly be unfvcked.
We finally got down..
and walked back to the car around 10:00PM after 42 pitches of Extreme Bow Valley Rock
..I mean 4.2 pitches
Now I need a..
I'll see ya all at Nicks!

Yeah I was there alright, so I can tell you that Kevin's story is true. How else could a couple of old guys like us, survive 12 hours on the rocks, with a nap or two?
Except he forgot to tell you, that we ran out of food and water before nightfall. And after nightfall most of our batteries were dead.
Oh yeah, and he forgot to tell you how he placed that tiny nut, it was the key pro for Pitch 3 (which is the 5th pitch). He had to place the nut in mud. I "cleaned" it. Get it? Hahaha... oops.
