So, Mr Mud thinks he'll free Premeditated. Yeah, and so will the "Chance" brothers (Fat, Slim and No). He'll never free it, not by any means. Hell, he can't even free Jingus, which is an aid route he put up. Here's my prediction: He'll be a dad before he frees either route. And, no adding bolts to Premeditated so it will "go free." It isn't allowed, not with someone who's added so much to Pinns climbing. BTW, this is said with the utmost respect, and with a level of admiration bordering on adulation. Also, unlike several wusses out there who razz him, I am willing to concede that, except for once in a blue moon (and excluding aid climbing), the bastard climbs significantly harder than I do.
Having said that, I should add, ION (Mungie-poo, this set of letters is short for "In Other News"), that the book is with the printer. If the preflight checks out I should have 4200 books in my garage not later than the middle of September. Probably earlier. Same binding, cover and paper type as with the last Chockstone Press Valley guide. 408 pages, 14 page history, 3 appendices (FA, Routes by Rating and Routes Too Late to Make the Text) and Index. Anyone who complains once they see it will be referred to White Out and Sharpie markers and politely told to bugger off and write their own.
