Your climbing project, couch pukes!

Here's mine. I've been mentally rehearsing for a couple weeks now in preparation for the onsight FA. I've even hit the weight room, I'm gonna need it for this bad boy.

Round here we name the climbs according to the graffiti at the base. So, this project already has a name.

I'm gonna do it, biches!

View from the base up. One route down (basically up just right of the left arete), many more to go. Next up I believe will be the far right corner. Our rack is beginning to look like yours, with those large cams and a big bro, getting ready for the next challenge. No graffiti out here though.

sigh.

Reeoch, your method seems a little off. I am training for mine with a strict regimen of solo 12 packs, pizza pie, and critically, not climbing a damn lick of 5.10 wingate for months.

i'm gonna stay outta jail today.
and then try again tomorrow.
it is an ongoing project and
i'm always just seconds shy of the impending
financial and socio-disaster.

oh and i gotta impress
(1) cowboy ghost (my ol lady's papa)
but that aint too difficult
because he and i sat in the same
saddle for 100 years
back when the west was
lost.

The real project, the one least likely to happen and most likely to epic:
I'd like to drop in on this creek. I see pools of gravel down there, and there's gold upstream. Getting in is easy, just rap on down to the best looking gravel. Take a little shovel and a gold pan. Getting out?
That depends.

Got about three hours of work on this thang yet. Just waiting for the snow to melt and creek to dry up. Disgusting, but the best thing in the neighborhood.
