Ahhhhh Yeah the Conquistador of The Crumbly is back talkin' smack about Tower of Power! Thing is SCIN has mellowed a bit, but that 5.2OW character is back around so maybe you can sucker...I mean coax...I mean INSPIRE him to reapeat your creepiest pile feat.

I'm actually kind of ashamed of myself for doing this, but I can't help it. It's just too much fun!

Hey Larry, those were a lot of cool potential route names that you just threw out there!
I particularly liked: Conquistador of The Crumbly and Trekker of The Treacherous!

We both know Jungle beat,Foxfire(maybe a couple pitches)Underling,Good Tang,and Curving crack are in fact stellar routes,but hey,everyone is entiteled to thier own opinion.

Never be ashamed to spray around here Larry! Someday somebody will bite on that Tower of Power repeat.

I second that on Good Tang, the coolest roof move.

There's Nothing Like Whiskey to Make Maidens Frisky

A "must do" for the name alone, right? The ultimate RRG trad adventure - longish approach, river crossing, generally unknown location, three pitches lead to the top of the cliff. What a pile. I learned all kinds of new techniques, like just how small of a laurel branch or blueberry stem can support my body weight, or how to use the top of a pine sapling to brush the debris off of potential footholds without having to bend over (every hold was excavated at least twice - once for a handhold, and again for a foothold).

I have to believe that Ted Roll and I bagged the second ascent of the second pitch. A second ascent of the third pitch will have to wait for a party with poorer judgement. I don't want to disclose any more details lest I spoil the adventure for future suckers.

Captain Static, I'm not surprised by this crazy Cudkowicz stunt, but what the hell was wrong with YOU?

Next stop: Tarr Ridge to do Brain Damage.

Sounds like my kind of route.Want to go Dipsi?
