I made a call today to see if the climbing gym had ropes for sale.
"Hi, do you have ropes for sale?"
"We have harnesses and shoes but I don't think we sell any topropes."

Well, sure. They are using them. The lead ropes are probably available.

I couldn't grasp the concept of how a toprope could be a "First Ascent", but I have only owned lead ropes. Now that i know there are topropes available for purchase, I can put up first ascents with one. This always confused me, now I see the light.

Doubtful.

I confess, that was a complete lie.

It's a fine line from lie to legend. And if anyone can pull off a transition from the first to second it might be you.

Sheesh Klink, you guys have a fancy REI over there in Santa Cruz now.
Surely they have ropes.

Not sure if they stock 50m, standard Pinnacles rope length.

And now a moment of silence for Outdoor World, RIP.

Can you believe this? Who saves one cracker?

People are squeamish about eating the last one.
We stayed at the Seven Gables Inn many years ago.
At breakfast, they served a big restaurant-size pan of egg souffle - cut into pieces.
When there was one piece left, I took it (my second helping) and the other guests looked at me like I had committed a cardinal sin.
The host promptly brought out an entire fresh pan of it while I was stuffing my face.

Passed the Seven Gables on a walk this morning. Might be a good place to rummage around the trash for some delectable one off-cast offs.

Sea wall was wet in places.

JC w KC redux · « **Reply #151 on:** December 26, 2021, 12:07:52 PM »

Yep. That is the place.
We still joke about that event 20 years later (referring to the apparently appalled other guests as "the stuffies").

Nice to get another break from the rain today.

Looks like the sand on the beach was mushy for your walk/buildering session.

That wall has a fun traverse.
Another few problems at the lovers point.

mungeclimber · « **Reply #153 on:** December 26, 2021, 09:38:19 PM »

The Lover's Point problem on the right (facing the ocean) is really fun.

What is with the saving of a single cracker?

Go on with your badself and eat the eggsies! They better make more, ya pay nuff for it.

Any title name ideas for this photo? Location is a couple hundred yards from my house.

JC w KC redux · « **Reply #155 on:** March 26, 2022, 09:10:48 AM »

I'm stumped at first glance but it has an aura of evil

clink · « **Reply #156 on:** March 26, 2022, 01:38:50 PM »

I agree. It made me think of a tormented or evil spirit trying to escape.

JC w KC redux · « **Reply #157 on:** March 26, 2022, 02:48:20 PM »

The genie is definitely out of the bottle.

Are you sure Rachel isn't using that location to cast spells?

Rumor has it that she once turned one of your friends into a traffic cone.

clink · « **Reply #158 on:** August 29, 2022, 07:36:42 PM »

Where is he?

JC w KC redux · « **Reply #159 on:** August 29, 2022, 08:26:24 PM »

No idea.
Last time he posted was a day after we left for KY
