meadows,

REAL climbers do love those tag alongs girlfriends, as long as they don't steal our thunder at the crag. make my lunch, carry my rope, clean my draws (sometimes not possible), read a book, take a nap, but do not steal my thunder...I am about to send C Sharp, and I need all eyes on me.
Positive vibes brah...positive vibes.

my first "real" 12 was a flash of Narcissis (sp?). The draws were already hung and the people who just did the route were yelling at me on the route, so i'm not sure that i could call it a real onsight. But it was my first tweleve aside from roshampo.

Draws are not needed for that climb! You should be soloing it now. Gumby.

I agree...that route is scary for some reason. :?
