jealous of the climbing or the nut swinging?

Maybe it is time you became Andrew W and he became Andrew?

Wait. That's a new 5.13 every 4 days...It was really 89 FAs of 5.13 and harder? Not just 89 redpoints of 5.13 and harder, the 89th of which happened to be an FA? If FAs, where did all of these go??

I'm not lurking anymore. As of this post.

But I have to say, as far trad this year, my big trad stories aren't from the gorge. I went out west with previously mentioned Scott Hammon and got schooled in Eldorado Canyon, Boulder Canyon and then up to Vedauwoo. This was an awesome experience for a 50 year old who had only climbed outside the gorge only once before. Highlight of the trip was topping out Redgarten Wall via Icarus (and then surviving the walk off!) Talk about an awe-inspiring week of multi-pitch madness that we wished would never end!

If out that way again. Put in at RMNP. Lumpy Ridge for warm ups, then an alpine route . Hallet's Peak or the Petit Grepon would be a world class outing. HH

Congrats to ex-RRG traddy Jason Haas for sending one of the hardest cracks in the Rockies....

Once an RRG traddie, always a RRG traddie. The guy's been baptized and we are so very catholic. Ray himself would have to excommunicate him, followed by a RRGCC 2-to-1 vote.

Actually I think Koenig & Souders hold the gavel and powdered wigs at present. Hackworth & Day lurk in the shadows, pulling strings and manipulating currencies.
