Since my ghost is here.....
A long time ago we went to Hercules with Grandma Roberts and Helga and a bottle of Thunderbird.
I'm telling the tale tonight to a guy who can actually climb and just went to Hercules. He said it was pretty f'n horrendous. I told him we of course did laps on after drinking the Bird, Grandma got about 12 feet up the thing with a $12.00 tape job and Helga full on flashed the pile on TR. At the time she had been climbing about a week.
Got any more details? I've seen pics somewhere... are they yours or mine? Even a minor verify will do wonders here.

I am totally a deadbeat!
Buddy,
I've gotten away with ... and slid a lot, no a CUBIC TON of inaccuracies & absolute BS under the rug here on SuperTweako™ in your absence....
It is Mimi's picture, and I have it somewhere.
To tell the TRUTH, Not That There's Anything Wrong with It™, that bottle of 'BIRD was loaded with Kool-Aid or tea or something.
Al just knew we were totally capable of such a thing; so he was disgusted just on general principle and actually probably bought it, hook, line and sinker.

hahaha! The Bird was for sure real, as it blew Al away and thats why we brought it..... the Bird facts are not in dispute... but the Helga flash thing is just killing my guest.
I remember Al getting pretty upset that we were so far gone that we were packing the Bird out to the crags. He had genuine concern.

... and yes, Helga flashed it .... ON TR .... after six months of climbing, starting out on 5.6 in the Valley.

BINGO!
I was sure of that fact...... pretty incredible display. Glad those two cells connected to bring that bit out into the open. I'll tell him now......
(say.... this DEADBEAT title header really gets results! It might be the new way to go!)

OKOKOKOKOKOK...
like I said, inaccuracies.
We did start out with a half loaded bottle of Bird.
Then, when that was done, we topped it off with some other puke, so we could just guzzle away and blow his mind.

And here's the fair maiden in question:
Actually no doubt or question about it; she walked that Hercules thing,
About five months after this picture was taken on top of Hobbit Book, her second 5.7 (the first was Golfer's Route, by starlight)
