...with the person there it is clear it is taller than 28 feet.


Yeah, OK, but how is the description for accuracy (it says 30 feet BTW)?

Is Mud your nickname or your state of mind?

I added two routes to the list today:

-  410.9  Sew What Slot  5.8

-  484.5  Summit Experience  5.6

On Summit Experience, would each of you that has had the unusually pleasant opportunity of climbing this please read the description carefully - this one was really hard to write up.

I'm working on descriptions for several other new routes and will post them when they are ready.

Sew What looks good and now I have to go lead that wretched thing. It will be a good challenge.

On the Summit Exp description I think some of those really long linked phrases would read easier if broken into individual sentences. I can do an edit tomorrow and send it if you like.
You also forgot to mention the part where you hold your breath and slide down to an exposed potential death drop to get to the base. Maybe just put DIE after the part about the wedged boulder.

Do I need to tell the brown pants/climbing guide story?

How did JC survive the stove is hot, do not touch stage? Did his parents have to break the oven door to retrieve him from the selfcleaning cycle?

Gavin placing the fifth bolt on When I was Your Age (5.10b**):




A close up of that shot showing well the hook and sling that are keeping him on the rock:




Clink placing the seventh bolt on When I Was Your Age (damn fine job getting that high on the headwall):




A nicely framed shot by J.C. of the first lead of When I Was Your Age (at the third bolt):

Wow, so there is actually a slight kernel of a Valley Climber left in you. I thought that the mud had purged it all.
