lol, I guess you finally did poor Rhino in!

Don't try and pawn him off on me, he's always late!

I guess I will have to adopt him and turn him into a sport climber.

Sometimes when they go lame like that it's best just to shoot them and end thier misery.

The quicklink in the corner of the photo looks like it is attached to johnny's portaledge. which is where i'm guessing he sat laughing while he watched rhino clean that pitch in the dark.

beauty of a photo. it looks like a good time was had.

batguano, you are SSSSSOOOOOO right! What made my day was being able to take my shoes off and lay down on the portaledge while Rhino was wailing away below with a headlamp swinging from piece to piece trying to jug up that horrible traversing pitch. I hope you noticed the gold jumar dangling uselessly at his waist. He was tied off about where the last traverse begins and was just too trashed to bother with more than one piece of safety gear.

By the way, I pulled out another one of them there mashy thingys while pondering what to do on the lower crux. It was a big surprise since I had been sitting there for a while and wasn't really straining on it. I guess I need to listen more closely for the ticking sound. Got to place a couple of RURPs though. Needless to say, we were shut down on the route. Maybe we'll go back when in isn't raining and 100 degrees.

Took a good gander from afar of that Wyoming Sheep Ranch route. Jeez, you must really get stoned before getting on a route like that. I can't imagine the effort it would take to keep your heart from jumping out of your chest while leaving your dinner in place each time you weight a new piece. Please do tell the children a story about that sometime.
