Histoplasmosis and Drag City! 2nd pitches on both are totally succulent and mid-10...
The cracks at Beer Trailer are really good too, even tho no one really does them

Larry I am glad it does. I know it will take some work and training on my part but I am just really stoked on excelling my climbing on gear right now. My as well do it in my prime years of 20's. Just waiting to get outta school then really start to focus on it more!! I've been looking at more of the old school routes as well with my partner. A lot of them have your name under them:)) Hope to eventually meet you one of these weekends. Its def. a cool feeling after sending a sweet line to know you guys were doing this shit in the 80's without all this fancy gear. Makes me feel really humbled and almost a bit of a pussey for having all this fancy shoes and cams to use. lol

Might classify as the most humble post I have seen on here from someone in their 20s.

Thanks man, but really climbing the red, at the new, seneca, out west, it is cool to think how were pushing hard to do some of these routes with such new gear when they were put up with damn machine bolts at times. Crazy to look back at how scary FA's back then could be.
