EDIT: Whoops my bad... here he really is.

Ha Ha Dustin. Is that taken from your personal stash of photo-fantasy pics?

It's a photo of the Canadian secretary of defense.

Thanks for sharing your fetish for Canadians in costumes.... I will make sure to stay away from you at the Xmas and Halloween parties.

This weekend i saw a guy climb through about 15 feet of lichen to go off route to a hueco. Set him self up for a HUGE pendulum fall with several ledges below. Potential for serious injury. I talked him into calmly traversing the choss and to get back on his route. Then he proceeded to put his finger through the bolt (for which i yelled at him). Somehow he made it up and down the route w/o injury.

Same guy an hour later is telling his friends that if you send up an ATC to a climber that forgot theirs you must wrap it in a sweat shirt to protect the ATC from being damaged. He explained that if the ATC is scratched that it is no good and you can no longer use it. Nothing I could say would convince him otherwise.

It's kinda scary to be climbing next to a man who put himself into TWO very dangerous situations - doesn't realize it - and then thinks something is dangerous when it's really perfectly safe.

sigh.

Ladies, no need to share gas... I make it down to the Red quite frequently if you girls are so inclined. But be warned, I will have to open a can of whoop ass on ya!

Judging by the declining quality of online blather, winter is almost upon us.
