1. Glad to hear you got spanked, even if it wasn't by me.

2. I'm not sure what to make of this. I may never be able to look you in the eye if yours is bigger than mine.

Where's the icky face emoticon? A vomit one works well too.

Its easy just climb whatever without knowing the grade and if you get your ass handed to you then back off of it with no worries. dont be a fuckin pussy just go for it

That's actually really good beta if you're looking to get spanked on .12s. Meadows and I had a blast getting our asses handed to us on Saturday.

We did send Tuna Town the 5th bolt! Of course, the 12 part doesn't kick in until after.

You really do sound like you're getting spanked when you whip.

Why would you try to send a .12 when you haven't done a base of .10s or .11s???? That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard! Just pick out a couple of .12s where there are some easier warm-ups and get your "ass blasted" as Yas put it. After you've been on some harder routes (or easier .12s like Soul Ram

) it will kinda' put the .11s into perspective. Also, don't forget to develop a huge ego and crappy attitude and you'll be well on your way to being an elite climber.....? Spread the aloha.

Make sure to complain that it's hot and humid if the temps are above 25 degrees, too. Right, Allah?

Ask Allah for beta on how to _bitch about greasy holds-- he's got it down to a science.

Just cause you climb harder (elite) routes.....roots doesn't mean your ego is an issue.

Example: some rad youth just did two 5.14a's in the same day or should i say same hour. This kid, dude, young gentelmen, is about as cool and unimposing as you could imagine. So are his friends who crank hard. We just climb. Usaully average climbers ASSUME elite climbers have ego issues, but generally (there are exceptions, and we all have moments) we justy climb! A Lot!

It is good to get on things harder then you normally send, because it makes you stronger and smarter.....So go for it! Whenever or wherever you can!

About Yas having her ass "handed" ........well that's another issue?
