no prob. Did you get on EasyTouch, the slab right behind Slow Hand,it was brutal. I only tried it 2 times, but loved it. Thats a problem I'm stoked to get back and work.

I'm pretty sure its V5. Its pretty damn thin eh. Freaking rad line, a lot like Campus Punks at RT, just a tad shorter and a lil less vertical. I wouldnt recomend working it without a good spotter. I cant wait to get back on it. There were all kinds of great slab problems there. My palms are sweating just talking about the place.

i'mmmmmm bbbaccck!!!
well, it's been a pleasant surprise to see a few forum members at hp40!
i got about a week left to let my tips heal up fully and see 'em shred again once i hit biship there!
lucky that we had a wonderful weather at hp40 and now it's iccccy and wet out there!
yep, it's a v5 just the opposite of the _man with slow hand_ i cud get it barely started!

You will have a hell of a time in Bishop. Your tips should hold up pretty good at the happy and sads, but the buttermilks may get you a little raw. The bouldering around the Bishop area is so rad. You should be able to hook up with partners pretty easy. Where are you going to camp ? I had a good time finally getting out with you. Have a safe trip, climb hard.

nice to see you again, matt.
actually, i was just in bishop a couple of weeks ago just before hp40 though i didn't stay there too long with my gf. we stayed there for a few days before we went to death valley, hueco tanks, rocktown, sand rock, and finally the last one, hp40. i didn't crank that hard in bishop compared to what i did at hp40. (those slopers were easy on fingers!!!) just climbed at the 'milks and happies... _iron man_ and _big chicken_ were pretty awesome! _the hulk_ and _pope's prow_ are my current projects for now. i'll be sure to bring TWO tubes of krazy glues with me for my 10-day stay at bishop! i'll be on my own to bishop, though a big chicago crew from the gym will be heading there soon next week so might as well join 'em once i get there. but thanks for the beta on bishop...
btw, here's a couple of you doing the mj imitation on _genesis_

Hey, just got our pics back last night. Some pretty cool shots, most of which I will bring tonight. And I might even try to scan some next week to put up here. Got some pretty good shots (for me) of Climbhigh, Gamma, JR and a couple others. Plus some fun ones of our trip. To bad I am not super motivated, otherwise, I might have a cool slide show for you all like JB had last year....
