Yeah Ho, and I heard about the love child he fathered from that cow. With Walt though, that is an urban legend. (Geez and I thought this might be one thread that wouldn't degenerate?)

This situation sucks for lightweigt climbers (under 120lbs) because my belayer usually outweighs me by 40-80 lbs). I wish I could teach my belayer (195 lbs) to jump, but he has kind of slow reflexes, so I just don't fall on lead if he's belaying me. I wish my belayer weighed about 95 lbs so I could climb worry-free! Any takers? Maybe Katie Brown could be my new climbing partner. The only safe lead falls I have found in this situation are the crux of Gung Ho and between the 5th and 6th bolt on Chainsaw.
Hauling a big ego up a route adds at least a full grade.
