Ha Ha Dustin. Is that taken from your personal stash of photo-fantasy pics?

It's a photo of the Canadian secretary of defense.

Thanks for sharing your fetish for Canadians in costumes.... I will make sure to stay away from you at the Xmas and Halloween parties.

This weekend i saw a guy climb through about 15 feet of lichen to go off route to a hueco. Set him self up for a HUGE pendulum fall with several ledges below. Potential for serious injury. I talked him into calmly traversing the choss and to get back on his route. Then he proceeded to put his finger through the bolt (for which i yelled at him). Somehow he made it up and down the route w/o injury.

Same guy an hour later is telling his friends that if you send up an ATC to a climber that forgot theirs you must wrap it in a sweat shirt to protect the ATC from being damaged. He explained that if the ATC is scratched that it is no good and you can no longer use it. Nothing I could say would convince him otherwise.

It's kinda scary to be climbing next to a man who put himself into TWO very dangerous situations - doesn't realize it - and then thinks something is dangerous when it's really perfectly safe.

sigh.

You got to climb with Caribe this week end???

Columbus is not too far to drive to come kick your ass Ian.

I'll drive 8)

Ladies, no need to share gas... I make it down to the Red quite frequently if you girls are so inclined. But be warned, I will have to open a can of whoop ass on ya!

Judging by the declining quality of online blather, winter is almost upon us.
