Favorite climbs
« on: May 18, 2014, 01:34:45 PM »
 My favorite climbs were Portent, Entrance, Sound Chaser, Trauma, Dragonfly Dome, Shake and Bake, Tilting Terrace/Adam's Apple, and Smiling Simeon.
 I say were because I haven't done some of these in 20 years and have done some routes that are new or new to me that I like as well. Also I have changed as a climber. All of these I repeated. Some many times. They were favorites from the get go. The "best climb"  or " worst climb" might be a whole different thing.

These are all on my list.  I'd add South Finger and Baile de las Aguilas, though I haven't walked out to visit this last one in quite some time!

 I haven't done either of those Waldo.
I was remembering a trip to the east side when Geoff and I started talking about the burritos from that store in Pacines. We stopped on the way back to grab the burritos and fill the tank on his Dodge truck. Our focus was so into those burritos that we drove off with the nozzle still in the truck, spinning the pump to the opposite direction. That got our attention in a hurry. Fortunately it was repairable. Young, bold and a little distracted.

Yeah, I think I can sort of hear you. But not very well.

The fuzziness must be coming from your total lack of credibility which (obviously) is a direct result of your never having checked out The Lost World and the many climbs there that you'd love.

I'll check it out soon, once I get this forearm tingling figured out. Also, I need to shorten the inseam on my shorts. What is the length on Yours? I need make sure mine are at least a couple inches shorter.

Atom, if you go any shorter than Brad's you'll be in a thong.

South Finger   just did this a couple of days ago, cool summit, high winds, manky bolts, runout  prefect  Pinnacles climb.

Burgundy Dome short but so fun for its grade and length.

Salathe on The Hand

Walk the plank on Chalkstone  Dome  easy but fun.

 Well, I have certainly missed some must do routes. Gonna need a rope gun for a few. My usual pick of slightly insane  partners will work for the rest.

  Where the hell is F4? I want to ask him and others(Atom) if he would be in on a "despicable"  topic or "slaughterhouse" topic where it isn't kept clean, not saying it has to be dirty. Where feelings and character might get fed into the chipper and turned into compost. To be put to good use later. Let the fur fly, be offensive without letting on that you admire who you are trashing. Where what you say will be used against you(ok we already do some of that). No quarter. No appendages barred. Unconventional. Enter at your own risk and don't let the toxic waste facility door smack your sorry ass on the way out. With only momentary lapses into edification and respectability. Pretty please?

 Or just say nothing and I will get the message that I and only I  tend to enjoy being so reprehensible?
