Man, that Knuckle ridge area does feel remote. Love the experience.


Dennis did some of his very best stuff out there - bold sh#t.

Any chance you've got the day off tomorrow to join us?

Yep indeed, I briefly considered leading a 10b but then logic and small testees got the better of me. I enjoyed the one pitch (!) I did that entire day- think it was Flue Fire. Yes one pitch was much hiking.......

Thanks very much and had planned to climb but the trails have my attention tomorrow, Santa Cruz single track calls....

Say Brad if out at Knuckle ridge, maybe add a bolt or 2 to those other routes out there.

I remember Mr Mub saying more bolts were needed.
I'm not worthy.

Uh huh, 'cause I can just picture Dennis wanting bolts added to his routes.

It's ok, just make sure the hangers are pink.

Speaking of first ascents, after yesterday I think I'm now in "I haven't done them all status?" That'll last for a while too.

We will let you catch up again at !,000. >:D

Fantastic gems in the rough, raw form. Right under our noses.

Good work by everybody, JC is a prize stance stallion, if only we could betting revenue$$$.

I don't think 1,000 is ever going to happen. I'm too old and tired.

Your comment about J.C. and his runaway stance drilling reminds me somehow of Tobin Sorenson in John Long's story "The Green Arch." Without the screaming fall (and let's keep it that way  :D ).

Brad, now that you have broken 900, well not quite but this is a given.  You kind of have to go for 1,000.  It is only 100 routes and 5 or so of those will happen quickly.  You can take your time, but you kind of have to do this.

Well, the motion has a second.  On top of that I know we have a quorum.  So it looks like this mission is green.
