VD Weekend!!

[clink]

We topped out enjoyed the summit for a bit, put in the last bolt and rapped down.  OCD Overdrive, 5.7, some count of bolts, some gear, lots of moss, good views, new summit, good weather, good day.

Sweet.

I forgot to mention that the picture of nelkins had me laughing pretty hard. Can he read or does he just look at pictures too? 

[NOAL]

Wow, hope your arm gets better soon JC. That's burly!

Nice  the band is coming together - maybe a washboard, spoons and a juice harp next?

I was thinking more along the lines of a BB gun.

I'm trying.  I still have to sound out all the words.

Did your long sleeve shirt get wet?

When wet clothes contact PO I get an even spread of PO as the oil spreads along the wet clothes. Pants in particular are susceptible.

Thanks bro. It is on its way. I can see some of the veins and tendons in the back of my hand today.
We looked for the mud mobile Sunday but you guys must have been there Saturday.
Did you make some notes in the book of all the climbs you're projecting?

No wet clothes but I did have my gloves on and off a few times to snack.
I think the front of my sweatshirt must have rubbed up against some and then...
Should have taken it off when we got back to the truck - it was probably already too late.

Yep, we were on there on Saturday.  Nope no notes.

[Killer K]

Think the Bear Gulch Cave Trail will be open?

[Killer K]

And JC that's some horrible p.o. get well soon!

[JC w KC redux]

Think the Bear Gulch Cave Trail will be open?

Cave trail is open - except for the seasonal bat section.
Spillway is a gentle flow compared to the roar after the last rain.
PO is second worst case I've ever had.

What gives nelkins? you letting mud talk for you too? 

[NOAL]

Um, sorry for the late reply I was at the gym prospecting some stuff bro.

That's more like it! 

[Brad Young]

Jesus, J.C., that's unbelievable. I got some PO too from the same day. The size of two quarters on the inside of my arm. It itched for three days.

I believe you now.

[F4?]

What about the water clarity in the reservoir?

Swimming season is almost here.

[JC w KC redux]

Um, sorry for the late reply I was at the gym prospecting some stuff bro.

Wait...you were prospecting? What are you? Illegitimate?!

[JC w KC redux]

That OCD Overdrive somehow came up in a conversation and I knew at that moment it had to be a route name.

So now I have to ask...how did this come up in conversation? Did it have anything to do with the fact that I can tell you every bolt placed on every FA I have been involved in - who placed them, bolt type and length?  

While we are on the subject of OCD - has everyone checked their BD gear for recall defects? I ended up looking at every carabiner and runner I own regardless of brand.

[mynameismud]

I have not looked at any of my equipment.  I did decide to look at the single carabineer that I rapped off last weekend, noticed it was not a BD and carried on.

I might be able to tell you who I climbed with but odds are I forget someone. 

[mynameismud]

But I can see in my mind the foot hold that I did not want to use on a particular route.
