18 trips (read "not enough")
And on the third day, God created the Red River Gorge(by conjecture), and he saw that it was good.

Cool, I'm not the only one who answered zero.
I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.

prolly 20-25 trips...120 miles round trip per=2600 miles more or less. Sure it was worth it and yes, I still suck. But my new ropegun is getting stronger all the time, he should be leading on gear by Spring so I'll be set

C'mon now, I thought man-love negated your sends. Are we gonna have to choose?



On topic, yeah, probably in the 100+ range. No wonder I can never remember what walls I've climbed at when, it's like a great sandstone blur. Probably explains the downward spiral that the rest of my life has become though. Oh well, fuck it, its the experiences that make one truly wealthy right? And yeah- I still suck, but at least my suck is a well rounded suck.

i got 100 days on the rock in this year, about 90 in the red making probably about 80 trips. as far as sucking, i certainly haven't improved, my hardest redpoint hasn't increased in four years!
Sand inhibits the production of toughtosterone, so get it out and send.
