Where did you pick up that quote? Sounds like it's from a Supertopo thread?

I was searching random sites that came up searching for info on Premeditated. Yes it was a ST thread. Cracked me up Mr. Nonchalant.

Can't be any worse than Mr Mub talking about Astroman....and describing the Harding Slot.

According to him the Harding Slot is easy you just get your foot on a rail...and stand up.

I haven't done the Harding Slot, but my impressions of it have always been shaped by the description by my friend Footie. He led it when he did the aid version of Astroman, The East Face. Footie said it took him some huge amount of time to lead and that he went through all the stages of death while in it.

I think it was 10-20yrs ago when we helped Mungie move....

Mr Mud nonchalantly describes the Harding Slot....
"well you get blah, blah blah....then move your feet....gain a rail out there.....and that's it....

Mungie and I look at each other...."shit I could do that!!"

Fast forward a couple years...I am talking with this gal in the gym...."I'd like someday to climb Astroman or even the Rostrum...I've spend time training in Vodawoo, Yosemite, Alps and the Himalayas, but I doubt I'll ever be ready"

My response, "Yea, I know a guy who is familiar with the route...."

Lottsa people (even people on here) don't know how that story ends Factor. Name a few names, it's a great, great ending.
