I know he's gonna kill me for it, but I have to spray for this guy-- he ROCKS!! Amongst many other feats these past few weeks, he's onsighted South Side of the Sky and redpointed The Inhibitor (aka The Intimidator, which I know from following him up it is a DAMN hard crack!!). He's a total badass, don't let him tell you otherwise. Thanks for teaching me so much about trad in such a short time, Loren! You rule! :D

Loren TOTALLY rocks! He will hate this thread, because he is very modest, but the guy is awesome - all around. I'm so glad I got to meet him and get to know him over the past couple of weeks. I can't wait to climb with him, hopefully this weekend.

Yasmeen, will you be around, too? I haven't had any epics in a while! :P
Do you know if he got my note yesterday?

None of that shit's true. I don't know about those routes that you all are talking about, but I do know that I have almost all of the moves dialed on C-sharp. I was going to send the other day, but then Sarah took that ugly fall which probably set me back at leat six months.

Anyway, as long as we're going to spray, Yasmeen is a fucking rad climber. Onsighed Super Dario, redpointed Up Yonder, redpointed Centerfire(or whatever it was called). You can hang ropes for me any day.

Any one looking for an epic should just get in touch with me Sunday night at Miguels. Im meeting Loren to go work on a cool hand fist crack. Oh and by the way, Loren is a complete badass, anyone who can throw down with the reaper and win and then come back with the sends he has had lately must be destine for some kind of greatness

My friends,
I agree. Two weekends ago my son and I went to the Red for just the second time(1st was weekend before). my son is 13 and hasn,t belayed anyone on lead so we were kind of high and dry Friday AM when Loren(Leah, Brian and Travis) invited us to Dip Wall. I am a better anchor than a climber but Loren and the rest of the crew were great to us. Loren is a great trad teacher. and no ego. 8)

nice work loren! did you climb through that poison ivy patch at the top of south side? i know this guy who stopped at the ledge, built an anchor because he is severely allergic to poison ivy (yeah right!), and stick clipped the anchor thus bypassing a 3rd class move. he claims to have done it too! what a wanker!
