Sounds to me that you are spending too much time messing around on 11's!!! Go send Mosaic!!! BTW, this is Ian... you and Blake were giving me beta on it the other Sunday.

Outrageous comment! pawilkes does not spew beta!!!

Well,to be fair, it was more Blake than Phil... but I wasn't shy about asking for it either.

"messing around" on 11's for the last three years has given me the movement library and endurance to work on 12 effectively. when i've come this far on the 11 project, it seems silly to let it die now. mosaic went down first go yesterday morning.

Hey, Don't get your panties in a bunch, lol. Your systematic approach to climbing through the grades is impressive!!! Honestly, I really don't care how or what you climb. For me, I would get anxious to push the grade a little quicker. Force myself to train harder, raise my strength and endurance to the grade. But like I said... to each their own. Just have fun with whatever you are doing.

They aren't bunched up, he wears em like that.

Hey pawilkes, there are a bunch of new 11's coming soon.

as long as i got to 95% at one point, i don't care. i hope you name one "the hunting horn" or something to that effect. it would kinda go with the bear den them or whatever the new place is called

That will happen. I was going to name one "Here comes Palin" in honor of our friend the Capt'n and his 5.11 FA. Of course the Palin part makes it fit in the den. I'll see if I can find a cool name for a bear call. Nice work on Mosaic, btw.
