The time I went there last Christmas it was quite crowded. I bet if you just went you'd find partners fairly easily.

Good luck finding one and if you get a chance try the Ice wall if they have it again.

kentucky kid,

I live in Bloomington, as does jabbathehut. you are more than welcome to join us anytime. You going to bradley? I have a buddy who drives over once a week from P-town, so you might be able to share rides.

No ice this year..we have the rad boulder occupying the floor below now.

Tuesday and Thursday seem to be our regular nights.

stay away from Pigsteak!
Those who climb with him at the gym have been known to quickly loose strength.
Also all the people at the gym may think that his disgusting stench is coming from you.

However anyone climbing with me have experienced jaw dropping improvment!

If I send any of you my address, will you send me a box of Avanti bread? I love that stuff. Grew up in Bloomington and moved nine years ago. I really miss that bread. And for those of you that don't know what I am talking about...well...this shit is amazing!

yes, going from 5.4 to 5.10 was quite fun to watch as jabba improved..
be aware however, i don't think he owns a harness.

Oh Piggy,
You can't count numbers as high as I can send without using all your fingers and taking a sock off.

I realise you are still pissed off about how I denied your request for me to sign your harness!!

Tell you what piggy, If you score 1/4 of what I do in the Comp. on Saturday I'll buy you dinner!!

But remember I'm on a "diet"
