2008 Masters of Mud Quotes

His feet hurt in his new climbing shoes.

Sigh, who climbs a chimmney in tight Anazazi velcros??? I saw him cram his toes into those puppies the other day. And he climbs cracks in them?

You'd think being a self respecting trad climber he'd use an Acopa or something other than a sport climbing shoe..

Up on a wall. Mud was 50 feet above me grunting. His feet hurt in his new climbing shoes. The awkward chimney didn't help either, but it was 5.7 (5.8?), so there was no danger. Sun on my back, a light breeze brushing my neck, I felt very content and comfortable. Out of impulse, I did what any content person would do -- I looked up and shouted.

- Honey...
- What?
- I love you! 
- (Brief pause) You say that to everyone right before they are about to die.
- Hahaha...

that's about as cute as Mudmeister gets right there.

The night of Glen Denny's slideshow in Santa Rosa (is it up north in Oregon?) and the second presidential debate.

5:50pm. Text Messages.
mudworm: I'm going to the gym to watch the debate.
Erik: I'm in Santa Rosa. A bit early.
mudworm: Like two hours too early? 

7:20pm. Text Messages.
Erik: Glen is here. Royal is here. I am here.
mudworm: Obama is here. McCain is here. I am here.

12:00am. Phone
mudworm: Where in the world are you at this late hour?
Erik: Stopped before Golden Gate Bridge. There was a guy drunk out of his mind. The patrol could not get him to stop. The guy turned into the opposite direction. Two other guys and I chased him down.
mudworm:  Huh

1:30am. Home.
mudworm: So, did you compare the reach?
Erik: No. He was sitting down. I was too shy to ask him to stand up and raise his arm.
mudworm: Pfffft.  Too shy, what kind of excuse was that? 
...
mudworm: Did you forget to take your guidebook with you?
Erik: No. He signed it. Twice.
mudworm: Twice?

night before last our smoke alarm went off at 12:10 am for no reason.  screemed for about 30 seconds, then stopped.  we got up, checked on everything, and went back to bed.

at 12:35 another, much quiter beeping woke us up.  we followed the sound into Tessa's room and discovered her alarm clock was going off (?).

back to bed.  at 12:50 my son wakes up screaming his lungs out upstairs.  we finally quited him down and he explained that

'a skinny orange guy was in my crib daddy'

i procede to ask if the orange guy said anything...

'no daddy, i think he is dead'

creepy!

[mudworm]

'no daddy, i think he is dead'

The sixth sense?

Oh, let me guess. 2:30, beep, beep, beep... Your alarm went off and you went for a 30 mile run.

mudworm: Did you forget to take your guidebook with you?
Erik: No. He signed it. Twice.

Someone wrote "whoever leads the chimmney pitch on Son of Dawn Wall is....whatever"

Well I thought the pitch getting into the chimmney was the stout pitch. The book says 5.9! Well it's 5.9 way above your last piece.

PS, the gear list needs safety glasses added. Tons of shit came down.

Our first night back from Italy, Brad to Vicki: "What's for dinner?"

Vic: "Homemade Minestrone Soup."

Brad: "We just got back, isn't it a little soon for Italian food?"

Vic (without even a pause): "Yeah, I guess you're right. We're having homemade Vegetable soup for dinner tonight."
