Went down to the Gorge this weekend absolutely determined to redpoint Fuzzy Undercling at Military, but it spanked me good and sent me home crying. I linked it bolt to bolt and climbed through it on toprope from beginning to end without benefit of the no-hands, but went home without a redpoint.
I was joking, of course, about going home crying. It was a magnificent weekend in the Gorge. Lots of activity in Muir Valley. Great pizza from Miguel's. Met a lot of new people.
Anybody else take a beating this weekend?

I got spanked!
I took a continous beating on the start of Stretcherous at Muir Valley. Michelle did too since I kept slamming into her each time I missed and took the swing. Just as my skin was ready to split through on the tip of my index finger I finally nailed the move. I probably only had 2 more goes in me. Now I have this big purple dent in my fingertip. Cool route.
Yo Ray jack dynomite! Listen to my beat box! Bew ch ch pff BEW ch ch pfff! Sweet!

Zspider: I almost sent this route (had it one hang) just hours before I broke my ankle last March. My first day out climbing after the ankle recovered, I tried to TR this and I couldn't even start it. It sucked and affected my attitude on climbing for the next month. I feel you, but don't worry, you're going to get it, just as I did ... finally. Keep workin' it!
well I got spanked this weekend, Wes! Where were you?? It was this slightly overhanging off-hands crack that has eluded me every damn time I have tried to send it... (Okay, twice.) I'm still stinging from the whipper.
I will add an extra smack for every day I have been remiss in delivering your birthday spanking, sonny! See you soon.
Better bring the aspercream for your bottom. But no, I'm not rubbing that on for you.
