I think you are missing the whole point of rock climbing Willy; if it isn't on your tick list then it doesn't count. Otherwise, how do I know if I am better than you?

Besides, climbing outside of the red obviously doesn't count because you can't get any points for it.

I was thinking we do BOHICA and set the portaledge up on the first set of anchors. I'll do all the hauling if you let me come.

That'd be tight. I'd throw on some rainbow spandex that somehow resemble blue jeans and join them on that mission

I'm using only gear anchors. I have 10 sets of tricams and several dozen hooks. Let's make it happen!
