We Neanderthals favor acorn pestles for bolting and back-scratching.

You would still only scratch the surface.

So nice, hiking to the High Peaks with two women who have each spent many years as backpacking guides.

No need to wait for anyone and their multitude of little pauses and rests?

No need to carry anything other than my personal gear.

Climbing The Unmentionable with Katie and her adult female friend was… very interesting.

Did she ask to do that formation in particular?

I remember the day I topped that fondly. Something that aesthetic begs to get your hands on it.
I came up from the reservoir, so there was lots of bush on the way the base. My friend and I took turns sitting on top of it.

Nope. They had a long, long drive back to Truckee and wanted something classic, easy and quick. Jesus, even some of the words I just typed could fit into some of their… uh, comments.

It isn't the longest or the hardest but certainly has its own character making it worthwhile to get up.

Constantly. You've spent enough time with me to know that though.

Was there still missing hangers on the 5.9 on that formation?

One hanger was missing (top bolt).

 You’re worried about missing hangers? Did you happen to notice that ALL of the foreskin appears to be missing?

That's to encourage cleanliness.

There's always someone.

The scene: A gorgeous knoll up Lovell Canyon behind Red Rocks. Views around the whole horizon. The van parked, the dogs fed, Caleb and Joel parked and dinner underway.

We've done a long day of climbing and Caleb is worried about maybe cramping after going to bed. I suggest that he use one of my NUUMs tablets. "Sure," he says. I get him one and then explain how one is supposed to dissolve them in a large glass of water. "Sure," he says.

And then he pops it in his Whiskey sour.

Are those some gorgeous red dogs I see? Some beautiful red dogs?

The same ones that you have climbed with, yes.
