I bet that Overhang Chimney has not been repeated (looks fun by the way - NOT!)


Hey, but you can't fall out of a chimney  ;)

There's some truth to this you know.

I'm not sure on the dates where I haven' specified. Other than early 1990s.

You can if you are climbing toward the outside edge of one - plus you could slide down into one when you are exhausted from getting yourself into and then burning yourself out trying to get up and through one. I was gasping when I finally and gratefully emerged from the "birth canal" on Proclamation. I quickly proclaimed that I had been reborn! :yesnod: :thumbup: :biggrin: :smilewinkgrin: :arf:

That works - anything is better than nothing.

Nice. I would have never guessed that. Look how small his beak is. As far as that goes - look at Brad's skinny frame in that first profile pic of Spaceman Spiff. Svelt. :ihih: :yesnod: :lol:

Brad - Are you drilling a bolt overhead in pic 2 and mantling the crux in 3?

No clue. All I'm certain of is that I'm climbing in both shots. Maybe drilling in number two?

Okay...That must mean you are grabbing "the" glory hold in 2 and mantling said hold in 3. The photographer obviously was on a quick-pivoting boom to get those angles so quickly from one move to the next. Or you had multiple photographer's...yeah...that's it...that's the ticket!   :frown2:  :crazy: :arf:

That old truck of Geoff's was our Pinns transportation for a while. When it wasn't running we had to buy a car off my folks.

 Geoff and I got stuck in that truck so many times. It was not a four wheel drive, Geoff however didn't let that stop him from off-roading. We got stuck once on a perfectly flat patch of grass.

 Keeping momentum was a must. We were tresspassing on government property (Fort Ord) and managed to bounce the battery loose, nailing the radiator. A few minutes later a couple army Jeep's with machine guns and soldiers in fatiges come flying over the hill down to our location. They we're all young kids! None of them were legal age and they asked us to buy them beer.  :)

So apparently you were a delinquent when you were a juvenile too?

You're just now figuring this out?
Leave clink alone and let's get back to asking annoying questions about your pictures.

Why has clink not commented on my comment about your physique (pronounced fizz-ee-que)? And wait...there's no shorts? :rolleyes:

I used to be skinnier before Vicki-induced absolute contentment had its effect. But the hell with me. Look at how little Vicki has changed in 25 years! Gorgeous then and gorgeous now. Different hair color though  ;)

Though no postpartum depression, I'm guessing.

There might be some going on with the rain and the fact that this pinnacle goes under the closures.
