Wow, this Roman orgy is going to kick ass!!!!!!!!! Speaking of this, has anyone seen The Dirty Shame ? It has Picture of the Year written all over it. :roll: You say that now, but I really remember you laughing at some of the more expelcit jokes and gags. Really, meadows, going to a NC-17 movie. On...

I thought EST was GMT -5? Or is that a daylight savings thing going on now?

Fuck, I have been way more sketched on old school / Matt Tackett sport routes then any trad routes I have done.

The only way to change behavior at climbing areas is via mandatory, enforceable access restrictions. While there are plenty of individual exceptions, the climbing community as a whole will never, ever be capable of self policing. Period. A car full of people set to climb at a crag will never see the...

I had thoughts of a nice, long soapbox style sermon/rant, but guess I just don't care enough anymore. If the climbing community is going to stand by, silently, and let a few people beat down the people that keep climbing in the red going, then that community should get what it deserves. As for me, m...

We have two, but, might drop my coverage if the work phone I get can do google voice well enough. That way, I don't feel so bad about getting an ipad... They work pretty well over all, some kinda annoying things, but pretty much all smartphones have at least a few of those. Anything in particular th...

PS, thinking back, I never actually sent any of those either, so much unfinished business across the country...

The cliff notes version: 5.7 OWish sorta corner for a bit. Easy traverse left. Steep, but slammer fingers for a bit. Steep hands, but the crack is wavy, so you get great jams. Hands thin out, but still pretty good (this is the hardest part of the crack climbing, at least for me). Push left to a hori...

Have you been on it? The crack pretty much ends, and you have 5-10 feet of face climbing to the ledge. This is, by the way, the 5.11 part of the route, pretty much 5.10 crack climbing otherwise.

I haven't done most of the ones showing up, but agree with a few of them that I have done. But, I will say, the odds of climbing a crappy sport or trad route among all the routes out there are pretty small, and you can almost always tell from the ground that it is going to suck. Everyone has differe...
