Yay! Happy to be back too. I've missed all of you!
(Given the thread title, I thought there was going to be some art of the photo of my back that was posted on RC.com a month or so ago!)

I musta missed the one of your back. I guess I don't spend much time in rc.com.
Backs are good things.

I don't get it crimpie - with a buffed out back like that you are obviously fit as a fiddle! So what happened on your TR of Uncle Fester?

Uncle Fester was not my best performance, no doubt. Remember, I was just getting back to climbing following a busted arm. Plus it was a new area. Plus, it was the end of the day. Oh, and yeah, my shoes - it must have been my shoes.....
Honestly, the one move on the climb where one REALLY wants to put fingers in the crack, but they just won't fit was a tough move for me. I kicked arse on the left banana crack. Does that redeem me at all?

First climb is in Northern Arkansas. It is called Fat Hands and is a very pumpy 11-something. The second photo is at Jackson Falls in Southern Illinois. It's called Manufacturer's consent and is a 13a I think. I couldn't get passed the move after the one shown. Beautiful rock...

Crimpie, No need to redeem yourself to me - just post more pics of your guns ablazin! Maybe you should change your handle to thuggy as that type of climbing is more germane to your abilities. So did you lead that 10b badboy crack?

Shoulders (back), Abs, Toes, in that order. IMO. (Not rating rack, since rack discussions are kind of noob.com).
Edited to add. Ass not rated. Lack of evidence.

I led nothing at J-Tree when I was there. I really was just coming off the broken arm and was feeling weak so I tried to just go for mileage. The Left Banana Crack was loads of fun!

Fell of a slackline. Fought a fall, so I performed a lovely back dive, with a half twist maneuver that allowed my entire weight to come down on the arm. CRACK!!! About 20 minutes into a 5 day climbing trip and I'm driving to the ER. My advice: Avoid breaking bones. It sucks!
Yup, I'm with SS. It's been faaaantastic!
