"Oh yeah it was so awesome! It was all nuts in the face the whole way. Just nut in the face after nut in the face."
Myself shamelessly spraying about Central Scrutinizer to a fellow climber... with non-climbers well within earshot... they also made it clear that they over heard it and were displeased.

You are so right Pigsteak! Clearly a violation. Do the math. Including an 8a, Lynn Hill and yourself in the same post. I should know better. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

A guy top-roping a 7 at Pistol Ridge yells down in his most pissed off voice "f#&king pay attention, I fell like two feet".
"It is difficult to estimate the potential damage of solvents; therefore the middle of the rope should never be marked with a felt-tip pen or similar. Although a danger might be improbable, it should never be ignored." Mammut
