An endearing description of radness ought not be bandied to describe the drilling of a misguided youth.

As Reg Mombasa learnt the wet way - accept no substitutes

then rent a car and stop off here and buy a crowbar:

then drive up to here:

spend an easy week chopping all the sport routes, then run up here and go bouldering:

then do a quick run up the chli bielenhorn, chopping those bolts en route:

then dynamite the frickin highway behind you as you return, fly home, and jump on the ole internet and post up a TR.

btw, be sure to tell the swiss that yr an american, that'll calm 'em all down.

That's a bummer klk. I read that you were on for the Tetons and so I was going to hook us up with some sweet accom. and possibly some climbing together. But then you went and got all 'postal' on MikeM.

So MikeM. You wanna come stay in our chalet in Jackson sometime through June?

KLK: We refer 'postal' to dudes that go crazy psycho and start blowing places apart. Much akin to disgruntled US postal workers.

The 2nd Ammendment is mighty - it appears to be as much about freedom as it does the spirit of respecting anothers' views. I hear Lama's 2nd Ammendment to the Cerro Torre project was an improvement on the first.

We should get strong, show-up in shape for the Tetons and go push the comfort zone a little.
