I've missed Redpoint... I wish Ray would consider cutting him on some of his massive advertising revenue, he really brings some of the finest content to this site!

Any more tree climbing vids, RP?? Or do I need to sign up for DPM's "the 'Stache"...?

More videos on the way, I'm updating http://thegumbytwinkieexperiment.tripod.com now, but it will be a little while, I have a lot to add. I've been pretty busy; working, the New River Gorge, Yosemite, and my Cherokee Park projects, but it's nice to know I was missed.

What about the first time you had a finger slipped into your butthole?

Redpoint still seems too good to be true, but I guess maybe I am just a little jealous. Welcome back RP!
efil lanrete... i enjoy the sound, but in truth i find this seductively backward idea to be quite frightening

The soundtrack is killing me!!

"I decided to go to a new secret bouldering spot I found with my GF. It was full of problems, and the rock quality is amazing; limestone full of crimps, slopers, jugs, and sidepulls. The left side is easy but challenging for beginners. The far right is the V2, next to that one on the left is the V1, and the long traverse is a V1. The V1's don't look very hard in the video, but it's the handholds that make them hard. There is one where you wrap your thumb around a tiny nubbin and you pinky and ring finger can hold on to a small edge. The traverse also has a sloper and a slopey crimp. The V2 is made difficult due to the slopey holds during almost the entire second half of the climb. The landing zone for the place takes a little getting used to since it's on a hill, this can be seen at the end of the video (which is the V1 without the direct start). I wish I could tell everyone where this bouldering spot is, but sure enough we didn't climb there a single day without a caretaker coming by and giving us a speech about it being private property. He said he wouldn't call the cops, but if he keeps seeing us there all the time..."

No I wonder the climbing media didn't pick up this new hotspot!!

Or this beaut: "October 14: A much needed rest day... nope I went tree climbing. I solo lead two 70 foot trees. I was able to see downtown from the top of one of them. Next I did some tree bouldering for a long while. "

And of course this ol' chestnut... http://vimeo.com/31777191

OK I really need to get some work done now... dammit Redpoint!!
