Cool. Thanks man.
So, word on the street is some French dude snagged the FA on Into The Mystic. Is that true?

I think Greg Martin got it first.

Shit. I cann't believe someone got the route name "Onaconaronei". I was going to use that one.WTF?

PS. I don't know what path of crumblies they went up to come up with 11.d. But then again with as much traffic as Torrent sees it should be solid next year.

I will be putting the last level of paint on the new cave in the gym. At one algle it will add about 26 linear feet of pretty steep terrain, perpendicular to that is another 16 foot 45 wall. The new work fits the "Illusions" theme, of course.

I am maybe not the best at planning a party? I think it is a good idea, though. Maybe we should start out small. End of january sounds good to me. Next july we are hosting DINO's adenture race. May be a good day for a larger function, and I am contemplating Adopt-a-crag for september?

Boulder all day, then hit the gym in the eve and have a bonfire? I am sure the locals and some B-town friends would come. You can rustle up the cincy crew, jo finnie can get some lex participation. If it gets large I'll spring for a keg of some good ale (guiness?)

Jo Finnie (number 1) will be back soon. Probably for a while.

I think the french guy did get the first ascent on ITM. I think he named it Chossopolis. Would have been 5.12a if it wasn't wet at the top.

Jo finnie #6

Hacked earlier, yet still re-written. Whats up?

Greg, didn't you get the fa on some 12d/13a at Torrent a few months ago? Which one was that?

Ray,

there was an extensive thread on the two new easy climbs at torrent on climbkentucky.

the easier one was called Colnila and i feel like it was 5.6 but it might be 5.7. It is on the right. I think the consensus on the other is 5.8 but i have no clue about the name.

check out the thread if you want.

Danny, that is true and it was ITM. I bolted most of it, Greg put in a few also. It was a bitch to bolt! I also got the FA on Us & Them, GG US, and Whoosier Buddies, Greg did Onaconaronei, first. Tim Powers supplied the gear for HB, Greg bolted half of it and they named it. It was fun!
