thanks, goodbye

[Ritwik]

Thanks for all the kind words. As I suggested previously, I wish some of those brief encounters were longer.

Danny, fancy the pot calling the kettle black. Though I must admit that Huggybone wondering if I was with that middle-eastern looking dude at Long Wall was one of my funniest moments at the Red. My new email is in my first post above. "Terrorize you" sounds about right - I still remember that look on your face as you ate Miguel's last pizza after getting off Burden of Dreams in the dark; a couple of other also incidents come to mind. But yeah, definitely drop me a line.

Yasmeen, I would definitely like to partner up for a long moderate while you are in Yosemite. However, if all my visa tangles work out I will be visiting Turkey from 29th of July to 9th of August, so that might not work. If climbing in Yosemite Valley (and not Tuolumne Meadows) make sure you get a crack-of-dawn start and you **might** be able to beat the heat. Caspian and I climbed Royal Arches this past weekend and a 5.30am start kept us ahead of the sun most of the way up. The hike down was another story all together.

Hope to run into y'all at the mecca o'er yonder.

Such a cool name for a place.

Ritwik, good luck on your new adventures out west. I can remember back in the day when you were posting around the ole kywildernss climbing forum and running into you at Table Rock / Linnville Gorge. Take it easy out in the Golden State
