Yep, I want to make a statement by brushing them while soloing. Onsight and barefoot, of course.

that's pretty cool i guess, but you gotta wonder why he really ticked that thing so much? why didn't he just aid it? would've been the same thing pretty much.

Might not have been him ticking it? I guess it is a pretty popular route, so maybe it was just some gumby tard climber. But, I am psyched to see that tick marks aren't just for sport routes and boulder problems.

Thank you. Yes. What she said.

I want details and an epic story like the one Manimal had at Seneca. Make it more interesting than, "Well, I fell about 100 feet and landed on my back. I grabbed my pack and walked out. I broke a few ribs and couldn't climb for a couple of months. heh heh."
