Take spray to another level with the new online guidebook!

The clear all fields button doesn't clear the checkboxes-- that feature would be a nice time saver.

And JB-- I'm willing to pay a lot of money for private lessons if you can guarantee that eventually my spray section will look like yours.

man that's cool ray! now i can spray a lot more than i normally do. is there a way you could make it so that all the routes you've sent show up in your signature automatically?

Yasmeen,
I can't promise results, so I'd hate to charge, but I can teach you all I know. I have been climbing for half my life, and I know a lot. It'll probably take at least 15 minutes to teach it to you. Mainly, it involves a level of body control and endurance that most don't have.

And damnit, I will get that thing on lead someday!
Let me know when you want to begin the training program.
-JB

Drive-By crag is now in the database.
Spray on, my fine feathered fuzzy folks.

You're the greatest, JB. I do want to make sure I'm ready to get my ass whipped into shape though, so before I go committing to anything as badass as your program's gonna involve, I want to make sure I build up some crazy strength and endurance-- I'll get back to you when I feel like I'm up to par.

you bet... take your time. I understand that you don't want to rush into things. It's like someone saying, "you know, I really want to start swimming, but I need to lose some weight first so I don't look like crap in a bathing suit". You want so badly to learn, but are afraid too be embarassed in front of your peers. I completely understand. I'll be here when you're ready.

Your spray ain't shit compared to mine JB. Yasmeen I'll give you the only climbing lesson you need to know in three easy words....lob the hex.

Sounds good Steve, but with my aim that might not prove to be the best advice to give...

The down side to logging my sends is, well, there aren't as many as I thought! I knew I said "take!" a lot, but, damn, I've gotta get sending!

Also, if you like this system for recording routes, check out http://www.8a.nu. It has a 'scorecard' system where you log your route and boulder sends and it assigns a point score based on your top 10 sends in the last year. You get extra points for a flash or onsight, and fewer points for 'freepoint' or toproping. Your points put you in a global ranking (Woo Hoo! I'm ranked #1076 globally!) I'm at 5763 points, and Dave Grahm is at 12435 points.

The system assigning your current score only on the routes you've done in the last year is fairly motivating. The nicest thing is that it gives you a nice log of all your sends.

Just thought it would be interesting to show which routes are being done the most:
