That oragami El Cap is schweet!

I have a Schwartzennuguh-size piece of rock pulled out of a local creek that has lots of features. It's my desktop FA dreampiece. With the right eyes, you can see wide cracks, thin, belays, bivis and even the odd stretch of rivets to link up and top out.

EDIT: here is the rock:




EDIT: I'm either an idiot, or the photo doesn't do the tiny crag justice. I swear, though, that I can find routes all over this thing.
Ouch!

YHEEEAA! MIKE! Or do I call you Ogre or Cracker now? Wow bro, I'm gonna have a few more of those Capn's ta ad to the one ya gave me Mate! Too cool.

Mike is the greatest. You'll always have a few laughs at the belay. Especialy when I try to convince him to bring his guitar on a wall, no batteries needed, It'll be sooo cool, are the only two arguments I can muster for my cause. I just love hear'n the man jam.

Oh yeah, the Man loves to SUFFER! ;)

Yer a class act Mike! Cheerz! Gabe
