lurkist is just mad because he is a washed up rock climber in med school living vicariously thru those of us with less ambition than he...

I stopped by and talked to Linda yesterday and she said many climbers had been frantically logging on at her place to change their reservations to stay longer. After climbing at Gold Coast yesterday I went over to Darkside and saw Graham, Harrington, McColl, et. al. I'm sure they have all seen the weather forecast so I think this weekend's forecast will be good for rock star watching.

BTW, Linda said they had about 150 people there during the event.

NO way piggy. Hugh will rise again! He is a sinewy composite of skin, bone, and actin fibers. Like the roach, he just does not go away.

Does anybody know if any of the Rock Stars got on Paranoia at Torrent?(assuming they have special permission the climb there). I hear that things is a pretty hard 13b with hard boulder problems on it.

The belay clinic was held at that route. I don't remember the name of the petzl member that lead it to set the rig but those bolts have been well tested.

I am not going anywhere. I will have the biggest comeback since George "The Preacher Man" Foreman. I will climb 5.12 again, oh yes.....

(And it is true, I do live vicariously through folks who climb all the time. I would be too if I didn't feel so damn inferior and worthless. Self talk- "I am good enough and people like me, damnit!"

BTW- will someone please tell who ever is still around and is a bad ass to stealth over to the oil crack and get on Skeletor. I have been waiting along time...
