Nine years and a thousand wasted days....

I sorta forgot, but a couple weeks ago marks nine years of climbing for me, and I would guess a thousand plus days on the rock. Some pretty good times and people, and some less good times and people, but overall, it has been a great trip so far. Really looking forward to the next nine and another thousand *wasted* days!

But that's alright with me, cause that's where most of my memories lay"

9 years and you only wasted 1000 days????
what were you doing for the remaining 2285 days? that's a hell of a lot of rest days. and you certainly shouldn't have been working that whole time!
wes, you need to step up the pace a bit here. remember, you're officially an Ancient Hard Person now - no slowing down!

Hellz yeah! It took me 6 years to get from 5.5 to 5.12, and since I am at 5.11- now, I figure I can stretch the return to 5.5 out for at least eight more years!

6 wes, thats nothing. Its taken me close to 8 years now to climb a 5.12, and only the soft ones at that. I am sure I will be joining the descent soon
Crank, I will work Hippocrite with you anytime, so close-yet so far
