That is a great shot of waldo.

No way - one of my first moves on lead was a nose-plant (or some such). It can't get any better than that....

Brad - invalid without pictures

That shot of you most of the way up is good though.
Did you do the Oh What a Feeling jump at the summit?

The first shot of me that I posted shows my nose almost in the rock....

No. I distinctly recall clipping the anchor and just saying "wow."

Congrats and well done Brad!!!! Looks like a fantastic day surrounded by some even better company. Wish I could have made it out there.

That is so weird - I think I may have somehow missed that post because I don't remember that second pic of you looking so gripped

:big grin:

I can't believe you didn't say Wham or BOOM!

well well, looks like I'm catching up. In winter 2008 I had done 228 different climbs in 'perfect style'.

How many have I done since then? Hell if I know. I'd be willing to bet I flipped 250 at least.

Been 'on' over 302 different climbs back in 2008. which means my ratio of sending to failing is not so great.

But I'm only a mere 772 away!!

LOL

That's a good success to fail ratio. And I'm glad that this weekend's event rekindled your interest in keeping track (or seems to have anyway).

And the good news? With fewer than 100 new routes done per year, you too can hit 1,000 by the time you're 56 years old

Cultural attaches are supposed to either make references in a way that us mere mortals can understand, or explain (at least eventually).

So, reference please? (Someone.)

mungeclimber · « **Reply #315 on:** February 27, 2017, 06:07:51 PM »

Movie reference...

Rob, there is hope. It's simple math to break 1,000.

Say you visit pins 40 weeks out of the year. Each trip is 3 days (I'd camp to save beer transit time). 10 new routes each visit. That's 400 in a year. Do for 2years and you have 1,000.
Now what does that do to your car? Well for me it's. 200 round trip. So 40 visits at 200 miles a trip is about 8,000 miles a year.

See its Simple!

Now I just need a excel listing of routes. Note the open ones and then sort by area. That gives a hit list.

After 25 something years, I can barely remember what I have climbed, let alone where my car keys are.

Munge , don't forget to purchase a rather large rabbit's foot.

The excel sheet is under the useful links sticky.
You may want to break down the costs as well.
camping fees.
gas
depreciation of your vehicle + extra maintenance costs

now start a go fund me page

I like that silver rope I toted down from the top. Anybody know what kind it was?
