NO, I saw it on this collection of "Cowboy" sayings in a bathroom.

It had all these little "gems" of advice like

Don't squat with your spurs on
Rest your horse whenever you get a chance
etc

It had about 50 or so sayings and when I got to this one I craked up. I just thought it was funny.

Don't you mean cool SHAGGY routes?
I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.

Yea, kinda Shaggy too, I suppose. It just adds to the overall climbing experience. :mrgreen:

I think I got on Edgehog about a year and a half ago. It was to the left of Chimp. The very bottom was a few easy moves to get to a thin slab of small edges. The thin edges (crux) was about two bolts worth. After that, it seemed to go on and on - at least 8 bolts total. I may have left the ground with too few draws, but I had to down climb and back clean a draw towards the top.

While 10c seemed like a reasonable grade, it seemed longer than the "6 bolts, 60 feet" that is listed in the online guidebook. Was I on something different?
