choss: see second pitch of DAB
dirty: see Blood on the Nuts

what does it matter anyways? All of these whiner comments are just going to discourage other whiners from climbing said route and whining some more. Ironically, the people who climb the choss are the ones who are cleaning it up for those who don't.

Second pitch of DAB is totally awesome. It feels like you're on a big route in Yosemite.

This is true, but ya gotta admit, there is some hollow stuff and exfoliating rock up there. Probably not totally awesome for your seconding GF. :P

Yea, I love that tall boulder that rocks back and forth and changes the crack width as you climb it. Thank goodness for springy jammers as Ho would say.

That reminds me of this documentary about monkeys I saw a few days ago. These monkeys lived by some crags and when the lions would come to eat them they'd climb the cliffs and trundle big boulders down into the forest to scare the lions away. They trundled a shit-ton of boulders not just a few. It was freakin awesome man.

no wonder trundling just feels like the right thing to do. it is. i do usually try to avoid hitting the dogs though.

i watched that too. i like to watch shows with creatures that remind me of my friends, even if my friends aren't as intelligent sometimes!
efil lanrete... i enjoy the sound, but in truth i find this seductively backward idea to be quite frightening
