This is great news. Thank you for all the hard work! I will have to take my daughter up that when she's old enough to get up there.


Well, well, well, Atomizer has a daughter. That's wonderful. May fatherhood be a tremendous joy to you too.

EDIT: and what did you name her?

You just made me involuntarily clench.

That makes the stick clipping harder

My complaint was dished out tongue in cheek,

Tongue in cheek is not allowed here but stick clip in old man's butt definitely is.

I turn 50 this year and almost all the hair on my head is grey.  I'm an old man and you are too.

 My complaint was dished out tongue in cheek, and I was waiting to be called out on it by one of the dear over 60 persons who knows my own proximity to the age.  I turn 60 next month and have been treating being barely on this side of that passage as glorious! Which is relatively meaningless.  :)

 I didn't expect the 50's to be so great and feel so young!

Maybe it had rocks in it like Marco's backpack.

 Brad was shaking his head at rocks in my backpack pouch, he said something about replacing the ones I'd lost out of my head. What were Marco's rocks about?

 I remember going to the climbing gym with my large chalk bag and looking at all the small chalk bags and feeling like I was wearing a sweater while all the cool kids were wearing vests. At the bottom of my bag there always seemed to be, broken fragments of Pinnacles routes.

   I could only come up with 6. Yep, 6. Did you throw some of us younger middle aged men into that category by mistake? Shame on you!

I originally posted the number of 12 with myself included.  I turn 50 this year and almost all the hair on my head is grey.  I'm an old man and you are too.

  I did carry a big chalk bag though.

EDIT: previously this was a post about retrobolting in the spirit of April fools, due to not wanting to risk the safety of the 12 older men reading this I have since removed the comment

 I could only come up with 6. Yep, 6. Did you throw some of us younger middle aged men into that category by mistake? Shame on you!

 On the other hand, but not on the Hand, reading Noal's post while dexterously wielding chop sticks in the company of a vanishing tuna roll and sipping a Sapporo made me realize that some of my early bolts were placed over 40 years ago. Holy flocking sheep!

 Another thing that came to mind is the lack of any first free ascents of aid lines in what seems like ages. Brad, have any established aid routes been freed at Pinns this century?

Did you weigh close to 300lbs?

 Notwithstanding, when leaning, I weighed about 175lbs at that time. I did carry a big chalk bag though.
